Families are invited to celebrate Earth Day at the Children’s Museum of NH.

There will be all kinds of special guests, hands-on activities and information to take home, and everything is included with regular paid admission ($9 per person for adults and children, $8 for seniors, no charge for babies under 12 months old).

From 12:30 – 1:30 p.m., Norm Fracassa of Fracassa DesignWorks will be talking about roots, so everyone can learn what’s really going on under the ground. From 1:00 – 3:00 pm, kids can plant flowers to take home with help and supplies from Wentworth Greenhouses of Rollinsford.

From 1:30 – 3 p.m., Seacoast Eat Local will be sharing information about companion plantings. Learn about which vegetables grow best together.

From 2 – 3:30 p.m., everyone can learn about composting with worms! Jess will be here to demonstrate how vermiculture works and enriches the soil.

From 2:30 – 4 p.m., Heather from Revision Energy will be here showing kids and adults how to make a solar oven that cooks using only the rays of the sun. Throughout the afternoon, visitors can explore the many ways the museum uses green practices, participate in a scavenger hunt, and take a tour of the museum’s Trout In The Classroom project – Eastern Brook Trout are being raised on site.
