The Humane Gardener: Cultivating Compassion for All Creatures
Join United By Blue, Philadelphia Water Department, and Bartram’s Garden for a cleanup of the shores of the Schuylkill River at Bartram’s Garden in celebration of Earth Day!
The Southern Ocean is a region of potentially dramatic climate change impacts, due to the large amount of freshwater tied up in the Antarctic ice sheet and the potential for sea level rise accompanying loss of that ice. It is the region of the largest deep ocean heat gains of the global ocean, likely due to changes in production of dense waters in coastal regions of Antarctica.
Join us Saturday, April 28, 2018, and celebrate-learn-grow, to mark this year’s Earth Festival theme: Reduce Plastic – Fantastic! Our rain-or-shine event at historic Croft Farm, starts with the 8 a.m. Family Fun Bike Ride then the festival across three acres of farmstead at 10 a.m. We’ll have free entertainment, healthy food choices for purchase, sustainable tips, crafts, products, services and more.

Riders must be 8 and up; all must wear helmets. Free bike valet parking at the Earth Festival 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Bike ride support from Erlton Bike Shop. Bike valet support from Courier Post.
