Saturday ~ Earth Day Celebration

Please Join us Saturday, April 26Th to celebrate Earth Day 2008. Although Earth day is celebrated just one day per year, we all need to adopt the attitude that Earth Day is Every Day and we all need to do our part to keep Mother Earth clean and environmentally friendly.

Saturday from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM we will have Master Gardeners on hand to answer your questions about spring planting, erosion, maintenance of your garden & water conservation.

There will also be fun for the kids, refreshments and door prizes.

Here are a few pictures of our garden at the store, it is turning into quite the little oasis.

We still have all of this to plant

Earth Day is the perfect time to think outside the box. What are the consequences of our choices? What products are better for the earth? What should we avoid?

Start out by purchasing products that you can recycle or re-use
Our product choices, packaging, reusing, and recycling are all areas that affect our homes.

Just pick one of the following ideas and get started today!

The conscious choices we make everyday will make a difference tomorrow.

Pick cardboard in place of Styrofoam containers

Recycle newspapers, magazines, junk mail & corrugated boxes

Use reusable canvas bags at the grocery instead of paper or plastic.

Store food in reusable containers like Tupperware instead of foil or plastic wrap.

Recycle glass, plastic, and cans

Do not throw oil based toxic paint in the trash, this is considered hazardous waste.

Plant a Tree, or two or three

Is recycling, conserving, and being environmentally conscious a smart thing to do?
Just ask your children.
