    Flower Bloom

    In conjunction with the Dentzel Carousel Opening Weekend, join us on May 1 for The Magic Garden Flower Bloom at Glen Echo Park. Throughout the weekend, the back corner of the park will transformed into an interactive art installation, featuring thousands of crocheted flowers handmade by craftspeople from around the country – and at the end of your tour, you can pick your very own flower from a special patch in exchange for a donation in any amount to the park.

    All proceeds will benefit Glen Echo Park and the Beeler Fountain project, a two-year volunteer effort to restore the fountain and build a garden of native trees, plants and flowers in that corner of the park.
