Celebrate Earth Day at Socrates Sculpture Park with hands-on activities that sow the seeds for a season of growing.

  • Get your hands in the soil with neighborhood farmer Anna Poaster of Hellgate Farm and plant the vegetables, herbs, and flowers to be harvested over the course of this season.
  • Dig deeper and make soil in a composting workshop hosted by BIG Reuse. Take home complimentary bags of black gold to nurture your own seeds.
  • Join artist Mary Mattingly in the art of creating enclosed terrariums. Witness the intricate interplay of light, water, air, soil, and plant life, each element contributing to the other’s well-being.
  • Makina Cafe NYC is on site, serving the best “habesha” Eritrean-Ethiopian food on four wheels.
  • Also, neighborhood Girl Scouts hold a craft workshop, and of course sweeten things up with their cookies.
  • AND don’t forget to submit a name to the Worm Naming Contest for a sweet prize.
