Earth Day Pollinator Party!

Celebrate Earth Day at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Dyckman Farmhouse has always been a place where people grow things in the ground: the Lenape used this area as seasonal farmland, the Dyckmans were known for planting fruit orchards, and even today our neighbors tend to our raised garden beds every week.

Join us on Earth Day to celebrate the past and present pollinators that have made Dyckman Farmhouse’s garden possible! We’ve got an exciting lineup of activities for all ages: 

🎭 Enjoy a pollinator-inspired puppet show starting at 4:30pm! The legendary “Hummingbird Saves the Day” with Cinta Productions returns to the Farmhouse!

🦋 Bring paper butterflies, bees, and birds to life with stop motion animation!

🐦 Sparrow? Pigeon? Hawk? Discover who’s who in the bird world and get fluent in birdwatching with the Urban Park Rangers!

🎶 Use boomwhackers, bells, and shakers, to make melodies inspired by the nature of Inwood with local composer Evelyn Petcher Brandes! Your ideas will be part of Ms.Brandes’ new musical composition called “Inwood Haven,” premiering this September on our very own back porch!

🌼 Roll up your sleeves, make wildflower seed bombs, and take your best shot around our Hessian Hut! FYI, come back to the Farmhouse in a month to see your sprouts in action!
