Earth Day Festival

Earth Day Festival

April 22, 2012,
from 12:00-4:00pm

Celebrate Earth Day by helping with a volunteer planting
project from 9am-12pm, join in on walks and tours, shop at the green craft and
vendor fair, and let the kids enjoy activities and crafts throughout the
afternoon.  Kids will grow their own
salad bowl by planting lettuce, or take part in a tree adventure scavenger
hunt, work on a community art project made from recycled material, or listen to
University of Maryland Entomologist and Author, Mike Raupp as he reads from his
children’s book, 26 Things That Bug Me.  Anyone who wants to volunteer to help for the
day must pre-register by calling 301-962-1429. To become an exhibitor at the
green craft fair, please call 301-962-1421 for an application.  www.brooksidegardens.org.
Brookside Gardens, 1800 Glenallan Avenue, Wheaton, MD 20902.
