Girl Scouts to Collect Batteries at Mount Laurel Green Fair

Girl Scout Troop 23463 will be collecting household batteries for recycling at the Mount Laurel Green Fair on October 7 at the Mount Laurel Library. Come to the Green Fair, learn how to help keep our planet cleaner and your garden healthier, and clear out all those used batteries too! If you miss the event, a recycling box will be in Library lobby.

Mount Laurel Library along with the Mount Laurel Green Team will be hosting a fun-filled afternoon of FREE environmentally themed events, demos, music and fun for all ages on Sunday, October 7, 2012 from noon to 4 p.m.  The celebration includes demonstrations, animals, musical instrument making and gardening advice from Mike McGrath!

Special guest Mike McGrath from WHYY's You Bet Your Garden will give two talks to help with gardens:

1 p.m. CORRECT composting and mulch making
3 p.m.  Fall planting tips and tricks (pansies and garlic and bulbs; oh my!)

The kids can listen to frogs, meet some feathery friends, attend a magic show and make a musical instrument out of discarded materials. 

There truly is something for everyone.  Please join us for this event.  No registration needed. Event will move inside if the weather is inclement.
