Happy Earth Day!
For me, Earth Day is about getting out and enjoying all
that we have. It's about being grateful for this beautiful place where we live.
So how can you celebrate earth day as a family and how
can you do your part to keep our Earth strong?
Go visit a local garden area and really enjoy it. In West
Palm beach there is a beautiful botanical gardens area. it's a hidden secret
but just so pretty. There are koy fish that swim in the ponds, a butterfly
garden as well as nice bench areas to kick your feet up and oh if you go there, look for the rainbow tree- it's a tree that gets
wet and changes colors.
Another great way to spend earth day with the family is
to take a family bike ride. Give your car a break and ride around the
neighborhood.
If your looking for a fun bonding activity with your
children planting a garden is a great way to spend time
together and grow fresh veggies too. Think about it, you plant the garden
together and then when the veggies are ripe, you pick them together and enjoy a
family meal. It's a great way for kids to take ownership in something and to
gain an interest in healthy eating.
Search for an Earth Day event! Find something you can do
as a family whether it's a beach clean up, park clean up or just a fun city
event with face painting and tree-planting.
Be sure to check out your community calendar to see what
fun events your community has for you and your family. But more than anything,
teach your children to appreciate the Earth and the world we live in. Create
one new habit whether it be creating a Garden, or making a toxic free cleaning
solution or even using reusable bags while grocery shopping.
Have fun and Happy Earth day !
