Start your 4th of July with a breath of fresh air—and a little forest magic. This special family edition of forest bathing invites kids (ages 6+) and adults alike to slow down, explore with your senses, and discover wonder in the woods at Potomac Overlook Regional Park! Guided by certified nature and forest therapy guide Ilana Rubin of Kindred Nature, we’ll go for a gently guided wander in the park, pausing along the way for interactive, sensory nature-based invitations that spark curiosity, calm, and connection. We’ll close our time together with a cozy forest tea party under the trees. $30 per person. Open to ages 6 and up. All minors must be accompanied by a registered adult, and all participants must register in advance online.

Ah, spring. The hydrangeas are budding back to life, the groundcover in our stretch of Rock Creek Park behind the dog park is afire with Spring Beauty and Lesser Celandine . Our community garden has a burgeoning crop of arugula and tender lettuce shoots setting forth. Our cherry tree is about to bloom! The kids are crawling all over the playground and picking everything in sight on our walk home from school. Skipping, picking 'onions' and teeny-tiny little white and purple flowers from the middle of a sea of...yellow pesticide application flags. Cr*p.
