Spring is in full bloom at the Folger Shakespeare Library!

Families will take inspiration from the season to make connections with nature in Shakespeare’s plays and throughout the Folger itself. Then, we will head to the Folger’s gardens to compose an “Ode to the Folger Gardens,” using lines from Shakespeare and Rita Dove’s poetry!

Attendance is free with a recommended $3 donation. There are two sessions available with these recommended ages:

11:30am – 12:30pm  |  recommended ages 5-7 

1:00pm – 2:00pm  |  recommended ages 8-11
