strations featuring ways to get in touch with nature and become more eco-friendly.

Many special events will take place on Earth Day, April 22, including:

  • Composting made easy with our Gardener for Public Education, Bronx Green-Up, and the NYC Compost Project in the Bronx: Learn how to make compost tea, get answers to your questions on compost, and pick up tip sheets, all in the Home Gardening Center.
  • Vegetable Gardening for a Green Planet: Find out the easy steps for stocking your kitchen with homegrown foods all season long.
  • Kids activities in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden and the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden: Plant saplings, make crafts from recycled magazines, learn about earthworms, and more!

Also, take advantage of the gorgeous springtime blooms throughout the Garden’s 250-acre landscape, including the 50-acre Native Forest.
