Celebrate Arbor Day at Finch Arboretum
Spokane’s annual Arbor Day Celebration is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at Finch Arboretum, 3404 W. 21st Ave. (at the intersection of F Street and Sunset Highway). Arbor Day activities are free and take place rain or shine.
Families can enjoy free displays, demonstrations and entertainment activities in addition to the usual tree planting,
The Corbin Art Center will host arts and crafts projects; the Idaho Forest Products Commission will give out free seedlings; and information on community gardens and recycling is also available.
Master Composters can show you how to turn your yard and garden debris into a valuable soil amendment for your garden, and reduce your garbage disposal.
They will be on hand at various hands-on stations to help you get started and answer your questions.
You must be registered by 1:30 p.m. to complete all of the compost fair stations (takes about 45 minutes).
The composting event is free and open to all, but free compost bins are limited to Spokane County residents, with one bin per household.
