In honor of Go Public Gardens week, USBG Family Educator Lilly will join colleagues at the Hirshhorn for their Storytime Studio program to share about plants and how they grow! After admiring the plants in Rashid Johnson’s installation, The Changes (2025), on view at the Hirshhorn, you’ll create your own botanical artworks to take home.
Featured book: “Lola Plants a Garden” by Anna McQuinn, illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw

Entry is first-come, first-served.
