Greensboro plans April 25 Earth Day festival with plant giveaway, workshops and 60 exhibitors

The City of Greensboro will hold an Earth Day festival on Saturday, April 25, from noon to 4 p.m. at Keeley Park, city staff said on FYI Weekly. The Office of Sustainability and Resilience promoted a range of participation options and on‑site activities for residents of all ages.

Katie Farina, identified in the broadcast as with the city's Office of Sustainability and Resilience, described a city Earth Day bingo activity: complete five items on the bingo card and attend the event to receive a free T‑shirt. Farina also urged residents to sign up for the city's plant giveaway; the broadcast said the city will give away 500 native blue mistflower plants and that sign‑ups are available on the city's website.

Farina said the festival will include five 30‑minute introductory workshops (city and outside groups) on sustainability topics, nature walks led by the local Audubon chapter at 1 and 2 p.m., the EcoBus exhibit, and new kids' attractions such as inflatables and face painting. The event will feature five food trucks, including a dessert truck, and the city expects close to 60 exhibiting organizations, including many student groups. The bulletin directed listeners to greensboro-nc.gov/earthday for details.

Note: the transcript uses two different park spellings ("Cayley Park" earlier and "Keeley Park" later); the bulletin lists the location as Keeley Park in the broadcast's event listing and the article uses that spelling for consistency.
