WELCOME SPRING! Sunday, April 6 Activity 2-4pm Tours 1-5pm

While you're visiting, take a free quick tour of the Museum house to see spring decorations and the start of a small demonstration victory garden on our grounds. Greenbelters would have gardened for victory in their allotment plots, not in their yards, but many households across the US did have gardens growing  just outside of their doors and we wanted to share this version with Museum visitors.

This will be the Museum’s second victory garden! Our first was in 2011 in conjunction with our exhibit, Green from the Start: A History of Gardening in Greenbelt. See the exhibit on our website https://www.greenbeltmuseum.org/greenfromthestart  or to learn more about exactly where Greenbelters gardened, view the recent lecture given by Stephen Oetken, Unearthing Greenbelt's  Historic Gardens now available on YouTube.  

The Museum house will be open 1pm-5pm and the seedling activity will run 2-4pm. If it rains the activity will take place under a tent.

Also Greenbelt Recreation ARTS has free workshops on offer in April!
