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
Please note: Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. There are two Storytime sessions with entry times at 10:00AM and 11:00AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour. Storytime Studio has limited capacity. Entry is first-come, first-served.
This program is offered in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
