A PRFCT Earth Day!

We hope you’ll join us Saturday, April 23, to experience a PRFCT Earth Day. We are co-producing this special event with the Perfect Earth Project. Who is that, you ask? Here’s a prfct description (from their website — perfectearthproject.org):

Founded in 2013, The Perfect Earth Project (PEP) is a rapidly expanding non-profit organization promoting toxin-free land management around the world. PEP operates from offices in East Hampton, New York. We raise consciousness about the dangers of synthetic, toxic, lawn and garden chemicals to humans and the environment, and educate homeowners and professionals in nature-based techniques that provide beautiful, safe results.

We look to creating a future when it can be taken for granted that land is managed without toxins and is safe for people, pets and the environment. Toxin-free lands support biodiversity and carbon capture and are a critical component in climate change resiliency. Toxin-free land management engages decision makers and practitioners in positive environmental learning experiences and inspires action, right in their own front yards. We see the landscape industry as a potential “army” of environmental land stewards offering career opportunities that are currently undervalued.

Our PRFCT Earth Day will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Springs Firehouse, with light refreshments. A fascinating panel of experts will discuss the many ways toxins impact our beloved Accabonac — and what can be done (and is being done) to fix that.

Afterward, we’ll regroup at Ashawagh Hall’s lawn, where there’ll be demonstrations of brewing compost tea, using a moisture meter, a mulching mower demonstration and more! Music, games, merchandise and food booths will be on hand.

By happy coincidence, the art show at Ashawagh that weekend, eARThDAY Art & Design, will add to the festivities nicely.

Help us make it truly perfect by being there!
