As the aroma of spring blossoms fills the air, the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks is thrilled to invite the community to come together for the annual Earth Day Festival, taking place this 2024. This much-anticipated event is poised to bring families, environmental enthusiasts, and the Northwest Arkansas community at large, a full day dedicated to honoring our beloved planet.
This outdoor extravaganza isn't just about celebration; it’s a day packed with educational experiences, environmental appreciation, and engaging activities. Attendees are in for a treat with an array of crafts and games designed to enlighten and entertain all ages. There will also be booths from various community partners, offering a chance for guests to connect with local efforts and initiatives that focus on conservation and sustainability.
Live music will set the soundtrack for the day as visitors meander through six acres of pristine cultivated gardens, showcasing the enchanting beauty of springtime. But the experience doesn't end there. A fleet of food trucks will be standing by, ready to tantalize taste buds with an assortment of snacks to fuel the day's adventures.
One of the festival's highlights promises to be the ladybug release, a delightful activity that not only charms but serves a noble cause. Participants will contribute to raising essential funds needed for the maintenance and care of the enchanting Butterfly House—a sanctuary for these delicate creatures and an educational hub for visitors.
As part of the Earth Day ethos, the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks is eager to encourage the local community to take actionable steps in committing to protect and preserve the environment. Therefore, a beneficial nudge for sustainability comes in the form of a special offer: Ride a bike to the event and gain free admission, as part of the Garden's initiative to promote eco-friendly transportation.
Members of the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks are honored with complimentary admission, ensuring that the joy of the Earth Day festivities is within reach for all. For nonmembers, the garden welcomes adults for $10, children ages 4-12 for $5, and opens its arms wide to children 3 and under for free. In the spirit of inclusivity and accessibility, tickets can be secured online at bgozarks.org/events or on arrival at the garden's gates.
This Earth Day, let's unite as a community at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, and pledge our collective effort to cherish and safeguard this extraordinary planet we call home.
