What better way to celebrate the earth than by learning how to grow your own food? Join us to learn how to transform empty egg cartons into seed trays, and kickstart your own at-home garden. There is no cost to this event, but trays and seeds will be provided on a first come, first serve basis. This is part of the Dyckman Farmhouse’s “Growing Uptown” initiative, which aims to minimize food insecurity by empowering residents of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx to grow their own food!
THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY PUBLIC FUNDS FROM THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

Join Upper Manhattan Forest Kids & NYC Parks for an Earth Day workshop! Foraging As A Metaphor is a walking class that will identify edible and medicinal plants in our local parks and green spaces and use sketching to deepen relationships. Sketching plants is an effective method for increasing familiarization due to the keen process of seeing when sketching.
Ages 7-12 years old. Sketch supplies will be provided.
This program is free and open to the public. For accessibility information, contact ollie.demeio@parks.nyc.gov or 212-795-1388.
Learn about flowering plants indigenous to the Americas at the National Museum of the American Indian, and meet Native artists who use florals in their artwork. Drawing inspiration from her Tlingit cultural traditions such as weaving and formline designs, Jennifer Younger crafts each of her jewelry pieces to be one-of-a-kind. Neebinnaukzhik Southall (Chippewas of Rama First Nation) is committed to representing and empowering Indigenous peoples through her artwork, which features Anishinaabe floral designs. Activities include sketching flowers, decorating a pot, and planting a sunflower.
