The City of Bellevue will host its first EarthFest at the Bellevue Botanical Garden on Saturday, April 20, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., offering family-friendly interactive activities and games, including garden tours, educational nature-based programs, creative arts and environmental resource booths.
Food will be available for purchase at the Copper Kettle Coffee Bar inside the Garden.
Featured activities include booths that let you observe live bugs up close and learn about beneficial insects, tours of the Botanical Garden, a children's story time hosted by the King County Library System and much more! Northwest Perennial Alliance will also host a plant sale during EarthFest.
For years, Bellevue celebrated Arbor Day-Earth Day with volunteer tree-planting events every spring. The city now celebrates Arbor Day in the fall, when planting trees can be more successful in the Northwest.
This event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is not required. All who live, work and play in Bellevue are welcome. In accordance with the spirit of Earth Day, attendees are encouraged to use sustainable transportation options such as bus, bicycle or BellHop.
