Good morning and happy Earth Day!

Our opening weekend was a huge success - we are so grateful to our visiting artists for sharing their time and talent with our community and we are so grateful to all of you who came out to support us for our opening week!

Today is Earth Day and we invite you to do something to show your appreciation for our planet (some ideas below). Join us with your kiddos TOMORROW for our Earth Day Children's Program. Kids will hear earth appreciation themed stories read aloud and have the opportunity to create their own cosmos seed starter out of recycled, biodegradable materials! We'll be out on our hill at 11am tomorrow ready to greet you!

Here's some Earth-appreciation activities pulled straight from our Children's Program activity sheet you might want to try this week!

- When you go to the beach or on a hike, if you notice trash on the beach or in the water, pick it up and put it in the appropriate bin (trash or recycling).

- Take a shorter shower or fill your bathtub up a little less to help conserve water.

- If you don’t drink all the water in your cup, see if you can give it to any houseplants or plants in the garden that need watering. It’s great when we can share our leftovers with our plant friends!

- Use your biodegradable waste (think banana peels, apple cores, and veggie scraps) and make a compost! When all of those food scraps break down, they provide wonderful nutrients for plants and soil!

- Plant a tree. Trees release oxygen which helps keep our air clean and fresh. They also act as homes for so many wild critters that need them. Plant a tree to help improve the air and to share a cozy spot for a wild animal that needs one.

- Buy locally-made products and locally-grown food, or make and grow your own when you can! This can cut down on fuel used to transport products and food from far away and supports a healthier atmosphere.
