Garden Play: Seeds!

Join Smithsonian Gardens in the Garden and Woodlands at the National Museum of American History for story time, play, a planting activity, and garden exploration inspired by this month’s topic, seeds! While you are in the garden, be sure to check out Smithsonian Gardens' new campus-wide exhibition, Growing Tomorrow.

Location:

Find us in the Garden and Woodlands on the east side of the National Museum of American History. Use the paths at the corner of 12^th Street, NW and Constitution Avenue, NW to enter the garden.

About Garden Play:

Garden Play is a drop-in program for young learners and their caregivers to learn and play in a Smithsonian Garden. Each program is designed to foster appreciation and connection to the natural world through hands-on activities, story time, and a garden walk. Join Smithsonian Gardens as we explore a different garden topic each month!
 

Garden Play is designed for children ages two and up and their caregivers and families. Activities are designed with early learners in mind, but children of all ages are welcome. Parents and guardians must remain with their children.
 

Please come prepared for an outdoor experience. Wildlife and insects, including bees and mosquitoes, are a part of our gardens. Participants are encouraged to bring water and sun protection.
 

Activities may be subject to cancellation or modification due to weather conditions. (A little rain won’t keep us away, but we will cancel in the case of a heavy downpour or thunderstorm!) Please check the Smithsonian Gardens online calendar for the latest information: https://gardens.si.edu/plan-your-visit/events/
