The Friends of the National Arboretum (FONA) is partnering with DC Child Care Connections (DC CCC), the District’s child care resource and referral (CCR&R) program funded through the Office of the State Superintendent of Education’s (OSSE) Division of Early Learning, to bring ARTboretum to FONA’s annual Garden Fair and Plant Sale. ARTboretum is a family-friendly event celebrating the intersection between art and nature. The child-centered, family-focused event for children ages 2 to 11 will include a planting demonstration, a book giveaway and nature-based crafts.
The event will be located on the grounds of the National Arboretum. Attendees are encouraged to enter the Arboretum at the New York Avenue Entrance and park at the New York Avenue Parking Lot. A free shuttle will transport people between this parking lot and the event. Additional parking without a shuttle is available at the Grove Parking Lot and R Street Parking Lot.
Space is limited and registration is required. Please click here to register for the event. Masks are optional but encouraged. Please contact the DC CCC team if you need additional assistance. DC CCC may be reached at (202) 829-2500, (202) 678-0027 or OSSE.dcchildcareconnections@dc.gov.
