Celebrate Earth Day
Celebrate Earth Day! Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22. This year, we are celebrating by providing an Earth Day kit, so you can grow your own sunflower at home! During the month of April, pick up a kit during your visit to any Library System location (while supplies last). Please note: Earth Day kits are designed for kids ages 12 and under.
Each Earth Day Kit Contains: • Sunflower seeds
Encouraging your child to develop a love of gardening and nature can have many benefits.
Gardening:
• One peat pot • One small bag of potting soil
• Engages the senses
• One information sheet on the life
• Provides a moderate source of exercise
cycle of a sunflower • One set of growing instructions
• Demonstrates STEM concepts • Teaches patience and responsibility • Is a calming activity • And much more! Earth Day kits are generously underwritten by Greenville County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Friends of the Greenville County Library System
