Con Ed Family Day: Make A Self-Watering Seed Pot!

Food was prepared in the Mansion’s 18th Century Kitchen, and herbs were often hung to dry near the large fireplace before use. You can grow many of the same types of flowers and vegetables that were used in the past, by creating a self-watering seed pot with recycled materials! Grow herbs to plant in your garden or place on your windowsill. You may bring your own empty, 1 liter plastic bottle to use for the activity, as supplies are limited. 

This activity will be available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Please note that all visitors over the age of 2 are required to wear a mask inside the Mansion.
