Heads up, parents! The next few weeks offer several opportunities to celebrate Earth Day and discover Plant One Million with your family.
First off, make like a tree and “leaf” for the library! Children and their families are encouraged to join a “tree-mendous” program featuring story, song, and more at branches of the Free Library of Philadelphia. Be sure to bring your library card so you can borrow books, CDs, and DVDs afterward!
The dates, times, and locations are:
Saturday, April 14 at 11 am
David Cohen Ogontz Branch of the Philadelphia Free Library
6017 Ogontz Avenue (Church Lane & Ogontz Ave.), Philadelphia, PA 19141

In addition to the library, another great place to learn about nature is the Philadelphia Science Festival.

The carnival includes experiments, activities, and live entertainment along Logan Square in Center City Philadelphia. Check it out!
