Earth Day arrives just once a year, serving as a poignant reminder that we are mere specks within the grandeur of the greatest masterpiece ever created. Despite our smallness, Earth generously provides us with all we need and gifts us with beautiful sights, smells, tastes, and experiences to cherish. It’s only fitting that we pay tribute to her magnificence.
Come celebrate our Mother Earth! Cheer and bow to her radical abundance, her spectacular, everyday greenery, breezes, sunshine, rain, and birdsongs. Bask in her divine glory and give thanks for belonging here.
