Earth Day a Great Success in Wilmington

earth day

April 21 saw a burst of Earth Day activity in Rodney Square in Downtown Wilmington, Delaware. In honor of the occasion, a new button of the IN series was one of the take-homes for all who attended.

I saw some familiar faces hosting displays, including the Delaware Center for Horticulture, and  old friend Dee Durham and her daughter Lauren of Brandywine Sprouts with petitions to ban plastic bags in Delaware. The theme is BYOB (bring your own bag) 

Rodney Square was looking its Spring best and bustling with people on their lunch hours and school groups getting extra points for this Earth Day activity.  And what did I bring home?  A bare-root twig that should become a full grown Kousa dogwood which will some day attract birds with its fat red berries!

Hi Carolyn,

I'm glad to hear Earth Day Celebrations were a big hit in Wilmington! We had streets full of people here in Seattle as well.

Every day is Earth day if we recycle and conserve energy.

Thank you for sharing your festivities with us.

Best regards,

Earth Day has been a bit quiet in my area as of late.  I may have to try to change this.

Yes William, it's the kind of event that's worthy of starting a campaign and signing up people to help next year!
