Electronics recycling drop-off

GreenLight E Recycling will have a collection bin for all your old, outdated, unused or broken electronics. They will be accepting anything from laptops & towers, cellphones & gaming systems, motors, cords & cables … if it runs off a battery, motor or plug, you will be able to drop it off helping ensure our little corner of the Earth stays greener a bit longer.

Shoe Drive fundraiser

Clean out your closet and bring your gently worn, used and new shoes to our Shoe Drive fundraiser! Every pair you donate turns into funds for the Gardens, keeps shoes out of landfills, and helps micro-entrepreneurs around the world! We will be accepting boots, dress shoes, sandals, athletic and casual shoes of all sizes from April 23- June 23.

Zoozart Live Animal Shows

In addition to all of the other activities, we also will host three live exotic animal shows with Zoozort. Learn more and purchase tickets.
