Planet Garden Encourages “Growing Up Green”

This weekend will be very informative and fun at The Rock Ranch with “Growing Up Green” and Veggie Tales’ Bob and Larry.  With over 1,000 Girls Scouts to attend on Girl Scout Day, along with about 2,000 more area residents, there will be many who learn how to Grow Up Green.  Our local Scouts, with devoted leader, Cindy Friar, will first stop by Bluebird Market for an Earlybird Breakfast and attend the Bluebird Market Kitchen Show in order to earn a cooking school badge.

 

After the show and tastings, the girls will go over to The Rock Ranch to join other Scouts in a day of merriment that is actually my very favorite…how to go green.  Recycle Man will be there along with Tommy Krenshaw, the life-size cutout figure from the State of Georgia Recycling Hub in Griffin.

 

We had so much fun at FallFest with people getting their picture taken with the funny Tommy…an avid non-recycler…who sadly believes after we trash this planet, he will just move to another one.  This is all part of the fun campaign from the State of Georgia to bring recycling awareness to Georgia towns and boost curbside recycling programs in our state.  We are fortunate in Thomaston to have concerned leaders who want to insure our beautiful hometown is in the best possible shape which includes effective curbside recycling service.

 

It is my advice to check out the “Growing Up Green” event this Saturday to learn how you really do make a difference when you go green.  We are very excited to have great volunteers to assist at “Growing Up Green” like Quad Graphics and the new MOMS Club of Griffin/Thomaston area. If you haven’t heard about MOMS Club coming to Thomaston on Tuesday, October 27^th for a Welcome Home Open House to be held at 215 Barnesville Street, you can find more about it online by visiting www.momsclubofgtarea.com

 

We are so excited to have MOMS Adopt-a-Row in the community garden as well as make a scarecrow for the garden.  They will enjoy cider and gingersnaps while children, always welcome at MOMS Club functions, have fun playing in the hay.  I spoke with a friend who makes wonderful handmade soaps and she said her daughter who lives in another state and visits her would love to join so she will have friends locally when she visits.  Please share  with your family and friends about “MOMS Club of Griffin/Thomaston Area” Open House in Thomaston  this Tuesday and “Growing Up Green” as both of these efforts are so absolutely beneficial to everyone in our community.
