US National Arboretum (Administration Building)
Spring is a beautiful time for a stroll in the US National Arboretum, a hidden gem in Ward 5. GBIV will host two walks: You can choose to do the easy stroll or continue on for a 3 mile walk. We will start all together at the Admin building (Visitor‘s Center) and walk directly to the Arboretum‘s cherry blossom collection, a .5 mile walk each way. After enjoying the cherry blossoms, you can choose to walk back to the Administration building with Nadia Mercer (our Village Director) or continue on a longer hike with our member Sharon, an avid Arboretum walker. If you continue on with Sharon, the walk will be around 3 miles in total and you will most likely see flowering magnolias and other spring blooms. Water and snacks provided. GBIV members - email nadia@brooklandvillage.org if you would like to carpool. Children welcome!

Your kids are welcome too! For the littler ones, we will have Sorry, Memory, and Connect 4.
The event will be held at Right Proper Brewing’s Tasting Room on Girard Street. We’ll plan to play on the patio, but Right Proper has kindly offered to host us in the back production space if it rains. Bring a game of your own (or use ours), grab a drink, and have fun! Right Proper does not sell food, but you may bring your own (Tastemakers or Menomale are both nearby options).
Explore movement using a flexible wire sculpture technique. Our neighbor and teacher, Marja Ponkka-Carpenter understands the beauty in movement and will guide you through wire bending to create your own figures or movement shapes. You will take home your own piece at the end of the class. All materials are provided. Feel free to bring extra yarn or scrap fabric that you have collected to decorate your sculpture. Masks required.
