(DC) (Smithsonian) Join the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum for A Day Unplugged, a family-friendly program inviting guests to slow down, reconnect with nature, and celebrate the start of the growing season. Participants will learn the art of Creating the Perfect Container Garden, a hands-on workshop led by garden facilitator Derek Thomas, who will demonstrate how to grow vegetables, herbs, or ornamental plants in small spaces. Whether you have a balcony, porch, or windowsill or consider yourself “earth challenged”; this workshop will show how simple it can be to create a thriving container garden. Families can also enjoy story time for youth and a noon-day sound bath immersion designed to inspire reflection on the beauty of being and encourage personal and communal balance through mindful and sustainable practices.
