First Friday Open House & Flax Seed Planting
Community Event! First Friday Open House and Flax Seed Planting at the Germantown Mennonite Historic Trust from 2pm-6pm, Friday, September 4
Germantown Mennonite Historic Trust, at 6133 Germantown Avenue, will host an Open House and Flax Seed Planting event on Friday, September 4, from 2-6pm.
Stop by for a tour of the Historic Meetinghouse beginning at 2pm. Check out their new displays or pick up a Historic Germantown Passport, which can be used to visit all sixteen sites in Historic Germantown over the course of one year.
From 3-5pm, plant some flax seeds in the brand new raised beds on the Meetinghouse grounds, and take home a seedling of your own! GMHT Tenant and Master Gardener Emily Grusky will offer guidance, and garden tours will also be available.
GMHT is a proud member of Historic Germantown and a grant from Germantown United CDC provided resources for planting historic flax on the Meetinghouse grounds.

GMHT neighbors at Wyck (6026 Germantown Ave) are also hosting their Farmers Market from 2-6pm, so be sure to stop by and see them too!
