Pinecrest Gardens continued to support green initiatives with its annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 27. The day was dedicated to celebrating the beauty of our planet, with eco-friendly activities for the entire family. There were wildlife shows and jazz music in the state-of-the-art Banyan Bowl outdoor amphitheater, plant exhibitions, an eco-friendly fashion show, and informative demonstrations on a variety of ecological topics, such as how to start composting at home. There were also free cookies baked in a solar oven, a ladybug release in the Meadow and family-friendly lectures.
