Join us at our 2nd Annual Earth Day at the Garden, an afternoon at Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. The program is sponsored by APS, SRP and The Pedersen Group. Earth Day at the Garden, set for Sunday, April 20, will feature special guest, Diane MacEachern, the author of
Big Green Purse: Use Your Spending Power to Create a Cleaner, Greener World.
MacEachern will share eco-conscious ideas in sensible, time-saving ways to “go green” now, with either small changes, or bigger lifestyle alterations. Additionally, she will weigh in on the importance of an individuals’ “vote” – either through their spending power or at the ballot box and its impact on the world.
Earth Day at the Garden will include fun for kids and families with live interactions with wildlife and craft activities, such as Eco-Man, that support environmental awareness for children. Each guest will also receive a pass into the Garden’s Spring Butterfly exhibit.
