River Cleanup and Art Exhibit

If you've missed one of the earlier cleanups and were wishing for 

another, your wish is my command. See below for another opportunity 

to get involved along the RdP There's a green home and renewable 

energy festival going on in Grandel Square Saturday, as well as a 

green home tour on Sunday. I can get details to you if you want. 

Lots going on this weekend, no doubt! Have a good one!

See some of you in the library at 4pm for the RK Open House.

As part of the 15th Annual National Public Lands Day, The Green Center and River des Peres Watershed Coalition are co-hosting a clean- up in Ruth Park Woods along the River des Peres. The event will include trash pickup and invasive plant species removal.

Participants should meet at the McKnight Road entrance to Ruth Park Woods (in University City--accessible off of Olive) to check in. Ample parking is available along McKnight and in the shopping center at the corner of McKnight and Olive.

To reduce waste, we ask that participants bring their own water bottles. Dress appropriately for work (sturdy, closed-toed shoes, long pants, etc.). Necessary tools and gloves will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.

For more information, contact The Green Center at 725-8314, email events@thegreencenter.org , or visit our website ; . 

If you'd like to bring a group to help, please contact us in advance.

Keepsakes: Nature Inspired Ceramics by Patty Sheppard

Opening Reception: September 27 12 pm - 2 pm Location: The Green Center Headquarters, 8025 Blackberry Ave.Exhibit: September 27 - October 24

Free and open to the public All ages welcome!Following the National Public Lands Day clean-up, join The Green Center for light refreshments as we celebrate the opening of Patty Sheppard's new solo exhibit Keepsakes: Nature Inspired Ceramics. Patty's exquisite works demonstrate not only an interest in nature, but a keen appreciation of the detail evident in seemingly simple objects--a wildflower, autumn leaves, a cicada's shed exoskeleton. In her ceramics, these ephemeral objects acquire a rich new life. To read more, see the artist's statement
