Garden & Environmental Expo coming to Navarre

Navarre Garden Club announces its First Annual Garden & Environmental Expo, to take place at the Navarre Conference Center from 9-3 on June 13th, 2009.
The Expo will focus on environmentally friendly landscape and gardening; preserving our native plants, animals, butterflies and birds, and their habitats; conserving water and air quality; saving money by making our homes and businesses as “green” as possible; and generally treating our planet with respect.
Local businesses, vendors, and artists are invited to take part in the expo by creating a display at a booth that will inform visitors about the products or services they provide.
Featured speakers will include Darryl Boudreau, Asst Director District 1, Environmental Protection Agency; Marie Harrison, well known local author and columnist for the NWF Daily News, expert in environmentally friendly gardening; and Hank Brun of Horti-Coastal Inc, Landscape Architect.
Plants and various garden related items and art will be on sale. There will be plenty of activities to keep the children busy, while educating them about preserving the environment. Of course, food vendors will be there.
The Garden Club is accepting applications for displays and vendors. Spaces are $50 each. Displays inside the building will be 8’ spaces, with a 6’ table. Outside will be the standard 10’X10’ area.
You’ll want to be a part of this exciting event, so apply early. For information and an application, call Sharon Johnson at 939-8004 or Ginger Eisele at 396-5494.
