Open Time at Girard Children's Garden

  • Girard Children's Garden 1480 Girard Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20009 United States (map)

WHAT ARE OPEN TIMES?

Open Times are scheduled sessions at our Community Green Spaces that include FREE staff-led activities for children and families. Open Times are a chance for visitors to experience the garden through a variety of activities, including art and maintenance. Anyone who comes to lend a hand is welcome to take home some garden goodies as part of our "you help, you harvest" policy. These sessions are canceled during inclement weather, including heavy rain or temperatures over 100ºF.


COVID-19 SAFETY UPDATES & GUIDELINES:

In order to keep participants and staff safe, we will be providing single-use masks for children and families if they are not already wearing one upon entering the space. We will also be providing ample hand sanitizer and a designated hand washing station at the front of the garden, where participants will be required to wash their hands upon entry and before exiting the space. All cooking activities are suspended until further notice.

PLEASE KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE BY…

  • Wearing a mask at all times in the green spaces. 

  • Continuing to maintain a distance of 6 feet from folks outside of your household at all times.

  • Avoiding large gatherings in the gardens, as defined by the Mayor’s Office.

  • Refraining from visiting if you or someone within your household have a fever or any other symptoms outlined by the CDC.
