Tu B’Shvat, also known as Jewish Arbor Day, is held on the fifteenth day of Shevat, which occurred on January 20. But you can still celebrate this environmentally friendly holiday Sunday afternoon at the Museum at Eldridge Street’s Winter Garden Festival. From 1:00 to 4:00, the museum will host planting projects, genealogy and instrument design workshops, challah-making, beer and olive tastings, a Rhythm for Recyclables concert, museum tours, and a Tu B’Shvat seder, which traditionally includes the Seven Species: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates. Food for the event will be supplied by Economy Candy, Russ & Daughters, the Sweet Life, and Whole Foods.
