highlights the important contributions
gardens and plants make in our daily lives and the connections
they foster in our communities
and to the world at large.
What is Garden Fest?
The idea for Garden Fest was sown in 2006 and has grown into an annual all day family-friendly event presented by the Smithsonian Gardens (SG) at the Smithsonian Institution. The purpose of Garden Fest is to highlight each of the Smithsonian gardens and connect people to plants through educational demonstrations and engaging hands-on activities. Demonstrations focus on topics such as floriculture, landscape and container design, greenhouse production, garden history, and environmental stewardship and conservation. Garden Fest takes place each year in the Enid A. Haupt Garden during late spring.
Garden Fest would not be a success without the help of its volunteers. We need people of all ages to participate. You must be 18 years of age or older. If you are interested becoming a Garden Fest volunteer, please contact us at gardens@si.edu.
