Get ready for Earth Day 2008—this year we’ve grown! Join us at the Lowell National Park Maintenance Facility and home of the Community Gardens Greenhouse for the 2nd Annual Earth Day Celebration. There’s loads of hands-on fun for the whole family—seed starting, terra cotta pot painting, herb plaque rubbing, seed bomb making. Listen to a great concert featuring local musicians, or participate in a container gardening, soil testing, or composting workshop. Tour our greenhouse and find out what’s new in 2008! Take a guided riverwalk tour with a park ranger. We’ve invited environmental organizations, neighborhood advocacy groups, artists, educators and students, and local businesses who will share their knowledge, stimulate your mind and inspire a call to action in how you can positively impact our environment and contribute to a sustainable world. It’s all free!

WCAP radio will be broadcasting live throughout the day.
