Summary

The City of Greensboro will hold Earth Day activities on April 25 with a plant giveaway (500 native blue mist flowers), five short workshops, Audubon‑led nature walks, an EcoBus, kids' activities, and roughly 60 exhibiting organizations; registration details are on the city's website.

The City of Greensboro plans an Earth Day celebration on April 25 from noon to 4 p.m., the city's weekly program announced. Katie Farina of the City of Greensboro's Office of Sustainability and Resilience described community programs designed to keep residents engaged beyond a single day of action.

"We encourage everyone in the city to participate in our Earth Day bingo," Farina said on the program, describing a promotion that awards a free T‑shirt to participants who complete five items on an Earth Day bingo card. Farina encouraged residents to sign up now to be eligible for a plant giveaway: the City will distribute 500 native blue mist flower seedlings, which Farina said are good for pollinators and grow late into the season.

Farina outlined event programming: five free, 30‑minute workshops from city and outside organizations on sustainability topics (for example, making eco‑friendly home cleaners and sustainable pest deterrence), Audubon‑led bird walks departing at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., and the EcoBus mobile exhibit. New kids' attractions (inflatables and face painting) and five food trucks will be on site. Farina said the festival will include nearly 60 exhibiting groups, including many student organizations.

The FYI Weekly segment named a city park as the festival location in the program audio, but the recorded bulletin contains inconsistent spellings of that park name. The city directs residents to the official event page for the most current location and sign‑up information: greensboro-nc.gov/earthday.

For volunteers or groups wanting to participate, Farina said sign‑up information is available on the city's event page; the program did not list plan costs or permit details for exhibitors.
