Earth Day 2024

Earth Day is on April 22nd. There is plenty to do in Fishers and Indianapolis to celebrate the Earth. This is your guide!

Events

> The Earth Day Indiana Festival is on June 1st at Garfield Park. Why not on actual Earth Day? No idea, but April can be unpredictable (see last week’s flood) and June is a great warm month.

> Wasson’s is hosting a free seed bomb workshop for kids. Saturday at 10 am or 11 am. (link)

> Sahm Park Clean-up on Sunday (link)

> Walk the trails with Conner Prairie on Saturday. (link)

> Volunteer for a weed wrangle with HC Invasives. The next one is at Cheeney Creek this Saturday. (link)

Additional info

Everyone in Fishers is in Zone 6a for the USDA Plant Hardiness map. What does this mean? It’s what you should use when figuring out what type of grass you seed with, plants you try to grow, etc. Check out the full map if you live in a surrounding area. Some parts of Indy are Zone 6b (link)

Every National Park is free on Monday. We have three in Indiana: Indiana Dunes National Park, George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, and Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.
