As poet Gerard Manley Hopkins once wrote, “Nothing is so beautiful as spring.” Celebrate the arrival of this fair season at the National Postal Museum’s Garden Party! The festival will occur on Saturday, April 7 and Sunday, April 8 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Activity stations spread throughout the museum are designed to encourage awareness of and appreciation for the natural beauty all around you. We are collaborating with members of various local organizations to help us tell the stories about the beauty of the flowering plants on stamps. Among our valued partners are Smithsonian Gardens, Smithsonian Libraries, Capital Area Food Bank, All Hallows Guild and Master Gardner Program at the University of District of Columbia.
