Brighten your day and enjoy the beauty of science!

Get tips for improving your gardening skills in the heat of a Virginia summer from the Science Museum’s horticultural team. Hear how they keep our greenspace thriving in the warmer months.

After that, learn a special technique to create cyanotype art. You’ll utilize solar power to make a take-home keepsake shaped by the Sun.

To help energize the group for this special activity, the Science Museum will provide complimentary coffee.
