Farmhouse Family Day: All About Trees Earth Day Celebration!

In honor of Earth Day we are celebrating all things trees for our first in-person Farmhouse Family day of the year! We will be learning about Brooklynite Hattie Carthan and the importance of environmentalists have in advocating for their community. We’ll then learn how to care for our neighborhood street trees in a special family-friendly workshop activity. Farmhouse Family Days are always free to the public and open to visitors of all ages. Family Day is from 11AM to 3PM, with the street tree care workshop beginning at 1PM.
