Between Earth Day on April 22 and Arbor Day on April 26, this month is for the trees.
The Parklands of Floyds Fork is hosting its annual Earth Day festival on Friday, April 19, 5-9 p.m. with live music, food + beer trucks, vendors, and activities at the Ogle Foundation Woodland Pavilion in Broad Run Park (11551 Bardstown Rd.).
Get a head start on your managed natural landscape with free native trees donated by Louisville Metro’s Office of Urban Forestry. Then explore the Moss Gibbs Woodland Garden while you listen to live acoustic violin, flute, and dulcimer music. Parklands staff will also host field games and guided hikes throughout the evening.
Close out the night with more music + nature-themed trivia starting at 7 p.m., and keep the party going on Saturday, 10 a.m.-12 p.m., with an Earth Day creek sweep.
