Coral Springs is set to host EarthFest this Saturday with a focus on native plants, environmental activities, and fun raffles for the whole family
Coral Springs, Florida – This Saturday, the city will celebrate both Earth Day and Arbor Day with EarthFest, a fun and family-friendly event that highlights environmental awareness and sustainability. The celebration will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Sawgrass Nature Center, located at 3000 Sportsplex Drive. EarthFest promises to be an exciting day filled with nature-themed exhibits, giveaways, and interactive activities, all designed to encourage residents to connect with and protect the environment.
One of the event’s major attractions is the free plant giveaway, which is exclusively available to Coral Springs residents. A variety of Florida native and butterfly-friendly plants will be offered, including popular species such as avocado, papaya, firebush, beautyberry, gumbo limbo, and blue porterweed. These plants were carefully chosen for their ability to thrive in the unique climate of South Florida while supporting local pollinators like bees and butterflies. Additionally, these plants are known for their water conservation properties, making them an eco-friendly choice for homeowners looking to improve their gardens. Each family is eligible to receive one plant on a first-come, first-served basis, with proof of residency required.
In addition to the plant giveaway, attendees can explore eco-themed exhibits that focus on environmental issues and community gardening. Local vendors will also be on hand, offering a variety of goods and information related to sustainability and green living. For those looking for extra excitement, raffles will be held throughout the event, including the chance to win a rain barrel, a practical tool for conserving water.
EarthFest aims to inspire Coral Springs residents to take action in support of the environment, whether by planting native species, reducing water usage, or simply learning more about local ecosystems. The event provides an excellent opportunity for families to engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability while enjoying a morning of outdoor fun.
With its free giveaways, educational activities, and community atmosphere, EarthFest is set to be an enjoyable and impactful celebration of nature.
