Flower Fest at Earth Day

It’s an Earth-Day Family Day celebrating Spring growth and our two new exhibitions, with free admission provided by the R&B Feder Foundation! Enjoy live music, make-and-take floral and art activities, earth-conscious eats, and complimentary seeds for your own garden. 

The day’s activities are inspired by the gestural artworks of Leif Anderson and the floral accumulations of Carlyle Wolfe Lee, which set the stage for a day of movement and color.
