Sandwich, Cape Cod, MA (April 8, 2010) – In honor of Arbor Day and Earth Day, Heritage Museums & Gardens is hosting an exciting event for all ages, Earth Celebrations, from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, April 24. Stroll through the museum grounds and learn about tree care from our local arborist, tour the tree collections with Jeanie Gillis, Director of Horticulture at 11 am and 3 pm, involve yourself in a tree scavenger hunt, sculpt with natural objects, build a self-propelled boat out of a milk carton, play a game of “recycle relay,” participate in the family green-themed tour at 12:45pm, get a ‘green’ balloon and your face painted by an international artist Kara Andrews from Art on the Spot, explore more about green living from community vendors and get a sneak peak at elements from the museum’s newest garden feature Hidden Hollow: A Nature Discovery Center.
Participate in Cape Cod African Dance, Drum and song performances, and enjoy ENTRAIN's Sam Holmstock, from 11:30am – Noon and 1:30 – 2pm. This event offers an exciting interactive family show, with authentic West African dance, drumming and song. The audience can join in with the entertainers, and the whole family can enjoy something very special - lively African rhythm! As you leave Heritage, be sure to pick up your free tree seedling to take home and plant. If it rains, we will simply move all activities indoors so no one will miss out on the fun! All activities are free with museum admission.
