Green Up/Seed Down Outdoor Event

May 1, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

On May 1st, 2021, Whiting Library is throwing our 2nd annual Green Up Day celebration on the front lawn of the library at 117 Main St. from 10am-2pm. This fun event is for all ages and one of the venues in Chester where you can pick up your special green trash bag for the 51st annual Vermont Green Up Day. Join us and get involved with this much-loved, spring clean-up tradition that activates thousands of Vermonters to take care of their communities by picking up roadside litter. Keeping our environment clean is good for our health, good for businesses, and good for our property values. Together we build pride in our cities and towns and teach our youth about powerful civic engagement that affects climate change.

This event will also feature a hands on seed planting demonstration and activity area for anyone who wants to plant some seeds to bring home. We will have flowers and herbs you can plant in biodegradable containers that transfer directly to your garden when the ground is ready for gardening. There will also be a small selection of already sprouted seedlings for anyone wanting a sure thing to bring home!

During this outdoor event, we will bring out as many books from the basement book sale as we can carry in order to do a little spring cleaning. The book sale will be by donation and all proceeds from the sale will go towards buying materials and supplies for the library. Come with a reusable bag to load up with great reads from out book sale, including fiction and non-fiction for both adults and children.

Let’s celebrate Green Up Day together!
