The Green Expo Brings Sustainable Living to Life

Plant guidance, live animals and expert tips on sustainable practices are among the attractions at this year’s Green Expo on Thursday, April 18 from 7-9 p.m. at the Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry St., SE, Vienna, Va.  More than 30 local exhibitors will be on hand with information about green landscaping ideas, composting, recycling, energy efficiency, solar power, water conservation, wildlife conservation and more.

The popular “Ask Me Anything” sessions are back featuring local experts who will make brief presentations and then take questions from attendees. This year’s topics include recycling right and reducing waste, building and living in a solar-powered and highly energy efficient home, and converting a yard to native plantings and sustainable practices.

A family favorite returning this year will be wildlife experts from the nonprofit volunteer group Secret Garden Birds & Bees who will show live birds of prey. Visit with sheep and lambs from Lamb Mowers. Children’s activities will also keep the kids entertained while adults get money-saving tips on green practices. Sign up for a chance to get a home energy audit worth $595.
