Environmental Education Week: April 19-23, 2021
April 19-23, 2021, is National Environmental Education Week, and we at the Huntsville Botanical Garden are excited to celebrate with you! Plus, Earth Day is April 22 – that’s even more reason to celebrate.
For each day, we have included an environmentally-themed story (with a link for online reading if you don’t have the featured book in your library), fun facts you can share with your family, and activities that can be completed at home.
And let’s show Mother Earth how much our community loves her! Do you have colored chalk at home? Create a masterpiece on your driveway or sidewalk to encourage others to celebrate Earth Day, too. Include an uplifting message about what we can all do to protect our planet. Don’t forget to share your artwork and messages with us on Facebook and Instagram! #hsvgarden
