Join your friends and neighbors at the Fort Washington Green Community Garden for an evening of plein air painting in the garden. This green space has been lovingly cared for and boasts a variety of flowers, fruits, and veggies that will inspire you artistically. Bring your paints, pencils, crayons, and other art supplies, and the garden will provide light refreshments to fuel your creative endeavors. The garden is open until dusk. We will draw inside the atrium using still-life flowers and plants if the weather is inclement.
