Earth Day screening of: The Biggest little Farm
This beautifully filmed story takes a look into one young couple’s efforts to make a living on the farm of their dreams. On the journey from turning dirt and clay clods into rich, nutritive soil and pigs that are rescued from Ugly Betty to beloved Emma, the film takes us through 5 years of the many tribulations, joys and surprises of working to rebuilding their land to create a beautiful farm that also rebuilds our earth. Even if you’ve seen the film before, come enjoy it again! There’s a good chance you’ll see something new to help jump start your own spring yard plans. Even the smallest plot of land is a necessary piece of the planet that we look to for clean air, water, plants, and animals that we depend on to sustain us all.
Earth Day Food Resilience – Seed and Plant Exchange
The Wood River Seed Library (WRSL) and the Grange celebrate Earth Day with its annual Seed & Plant Exchange. Local gardeners are invited to come and share seeds and plants.

This year we especially celebrate medicinal plants, the precious ones that are healing and tonifying for our body and soul, and deserve a space in our personal medicine cabinets. These same plants are also food and medicine for the wild animals, or our pets. Bring your own saved seeds, potted plants and starts, and dig-up perennials from your gardens to share with the community. Or come as a volunteer to help out with the event! Cool season vegetable gardening starts in the spring.
