Earth Day at Brookside Gardens
2026-04-26 10:00 - 14:00 | Brookside Gardens, 1800 Glenallan Avenue, Wheaton, MD, 20902, United States
(MD) (Montgomery Parks) Celebrate Earth Day at Brookside with activities and performances entirely geared toward families. Little ones can try out being a naturalist and learn how to pot a plant — and take said potted plant home, while supplies last. Watch live science experiments with the Science Guys of Baltimore during the first half of the event, and then a set from children’s music band L-M-N-O-People. Join the Science Guys to make science fun, cool, and easy with bubbling potions, chemical reactions, and explosions! Explore the science and art of sustainability through child-driven projects, plantings, and crafts.
