Bring friends and family and join us for a fun-packed day to celebrate Mother Earth. We’ll have a seed swap, kids activities, a tour of the food forest, wildflower planting and free food.
Please bring any seeds and any extra seedlings you’d like to exchange or give away. We’ll also have some free seeds to giveaway.
Kids can join Erica from ipsy bipsy studio for a free hands-on paper making workshop! We will be using recycled scrap paper, flower petals, and plant seeds to create garden-safe plantable seed balls and beautiful sheets of handmade paper to take home. Come prepared to get messy in the garden while we talk about the importance of growing food forests, the benefits of spending time in nature, and the ethos of DIY and making environmentally thoughtful art.
Food will be provided for free thanks to an incredibly generous offer from the kind folks at Motorkat and BevCo in Takoma Park!
****Please bring your own water and gloves if you have them****
Where: Montgomery College Silver Spring/Takoma Park Campus, 7719 Chicago Avenue, Silver Spring, MD, 20910
When: 10am to 2pm, April 19th 2025
This event is free but any donations, no matter how small, are greatly appreciated so that we can keep making our communities more resilient. One fruit tree costs around $75 to buy and install, but provides a community with $1,000s worth of food over its lifetime. You can donate here.
