Local Plant Store Hosts Bingo Event Before Flower and Garden Festival

During the recent meeting of the Leesburg Environmental Advisory Commission on April 1, 2025, members discussed several initiatives aimed at enhancing community engagement and environmental awareness. A key highlight was the announcement of "Plant Bingo," scheduled for April 19, just before the Flower and Garden Festival. This event aims to promote local wildlife and native plants, encouraging residents to participate in a fun and educational activity.

The commission also addressed ongoing litter issues in the community, with a proposal for a "litter bingo" initiative to further engage residents in keeping the environment clean. This creative approach aims to raise awareness about littering while fostering community spirit.

Additionally, the commission is preparing for its annual report, which will be presented to the mayor and council. This report will outline the accomplishments of the past year and set the stage for future environmental initiatives. Members emphasized the importance of this presentation as a way to communicate their efforts and plans to the broader community.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to fostering environmental stewardship and community involvement through engaging events and informative outreach. As these initiatives unfold, they are expected to strengthen community ties and enhance the local environment.
