Making History: In a New Mexico Garden
Making History is the New Mexico History Museum’s monthly series of hands-on activities that further illuminates the Museum’s collections as well as New Mexico’s heritage of historic technologies and crafts. The Making History Program is family friendly and open to everyone.
With the Museum being closed due to the COVID-19 mitigation efforts, this month’s Making History Program has gone online in two parts.
Join museum Educator Melanie LaBorwit as she demonstrates how to make pots for your seedlings using a newspaper in Part 1, and in Part 2, Melanie will show you how to give nourishment to your feathered neighbors by making a bird feeder from an orange and some twine.
Enjoy these activites to enhance your garden and check back next month for a new making opportunity.
