HQ is on the corner of Noble Street and Highway 202. The get together will begin at 5:00 pm, a convenient time to catch people on their way home from work, and it will end at 6:30 pm.

In recognition of Earth Day......

Headley Flower Farm - Owned and operated by Heather Headley, her husband Matt Headley and their 4 beautiful children

Headley Flower Farm is a boutique flower farm in Anniston, Alabama - "committed to growing high-quality, specialty-cut flowers with sustainable and regenerative farming practices.  It is our guiding belief that working with nature instead of against it, allowing the natural ecosystems to help us in building soil health, pest control, and creating lovely habitats for native flora and fauna is the healthiest for all involved." Heather and her family will have fresh farm grown flowers to show as well as for purchase. For more information about the farm, go to https://www.headleyflowerfarm.com/

The Plant Whisperer - Hayes Jackson will be there!!

As we celebrate Earth Day in April with environmental education activities and sustainability, The Plant Whisperer - Hayes Jackson will be on hand with plants and information about their care and how they help sustain the Earth   https://wildelements.com/blogs/stories/benefits-of-flowers

Bees play a crucial role in pollination

Certified Master Beekeepers Jerry Gilbert and Stan Bennett will be there with information about how bees contribute to biodiversity by pollinating flowering trees and plants and how beekeeping contributes to forest conservation.  It gets better – they just MIGHT bring samples of local honey they collected from their bees!

“There’s just this one planet of ours, and it’s on all of us to safeguard a future with a livable climate, healthy communities and thriving nature—during Earth Month, on Earth Day and every day. Let’s put our heads, hands and hearts together and take action to preserve and protect the natural world for generations to come.”  Nature.org
