As part of our new road construction project, Columbia Gardens created a dry swale, a shallow channel designed to temporarily store and treat stormwater runoff. The dry swale is designed to slow down the flow of water. It is comprised of layers of engineered soil and gravel with an underdrain system. We planted the dry swale with native plants and grasses to help prevent erosion and filter the water. It is an attractive — and highly functional — addition to the Columbia Gardens landscape.

This Labor Day, we remember one of Arlington’s finest. George Kirschbaum, Sr. was the oldest surviving Arlington County firefighter at 95 years of age. Well-liked and respected, George was known as a firefighter's firefighter to his colleagues. He retired as the Station Commander of Station 1 when it was located on South Edgewood Street.

Our office will be closed on Monday, September 1, in observance of Labor Day. As always, our grounds will remain open for visiting from dawn until dusk.

What a lot the Dew Crew accomplished this summer at Columbia Gardens! Our groundskeeping crew of 30 high school and college students excavated 30,000 pounds of dirt and rocks • w**d whacked the equivalent of 30 miles • produced 44,800 pounds of green waste from w**ding, pruning and trimming • watered 50 trees and 10-15 acres of grass daily • and consumed 2600 popsicles over the course of the summer! At our annual BBQ for the Dew Crew members and their families, Doug Barroga and all of the Columbia Gardens team bid the crew a fond farewell with many thanks for a job well done.

Our Story

We invite our neighbors and area residents to walk our winding paths and enjoy the towering trees and beautiful gardens on our grounds.
