Earth Day 2015

The rain (and the snow!) held off today for Mt. Lebanon's Earth Day celebration in Main Park. I hung out at Sandy Baker's booth which was beautifully "landscaped" with all deer resistant plants generously donated by Jim Jenkins.

This booth wanted to be right next to Sandy Baker's booth, but unfortunately, it didn't work out for them. I'm not sure why they were even allowed to attend since they are not big on coexisting with nature. 

In fact, the biggest deer hater would not face me when I took pictures. She wouldn't allow me to photograph her. Hey! Just like He Who Shall Not Be Named!

None of the people at their tent would face me. I guess they are ashamed of their behavior. Their big thing was kill the deer to protect our ecosystem. 

I learned so much today from Sandy Baker. Free seminars are set for the Mt. Lebanon Public Library Sunday, from 2 to 4 p.m. and Monday, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. Hope you can all attend.

Happy Earth Day!

Don't forget that Mt Lebanon municipality is hosting a variety of options this weekend to learn about garden plantings, deer strategy and behavior to help you with your gardens this Spring/Summer.
