Families, celebrate Earth Day with live music, a giant communal mural, face painting, wildflower seed balls you can grow at home, and the Children’s Workyard Kit.
Families are invited to join us in celebrating the beginning of spring on the High Line.
Dance to tunes by the On the Lam Brass Band, make your mark on our 15-foot mural, and get dirty making wildflower seed balls to plant your own native garden at home.
High Line Gardeners will be on-hand to answer questions and talk to kids about growing plants in a garden elevated 30 feet above the streets of New York City.
The High Line Children’s Workyard Kit by Cas Holman will also be available for young builders to create one-of-a-kind vehicles, forts, creatures, structures, and machines from our kit of custom-designed wood planks, nuts, and bolts.
This High Line Program is free and open to visitors of all ages. No RSVP is required.
