I got some information regarding the celebration of Earth Month by the City of Delray Beach. Delray is inviting the community to participate in “green-themed” activities and events throughout the month of April.
Earth Day on the Avenue will be hosted by the City of Delray Beach. It will take place on Saturday, April 9th. There will be so many things for kids to do throughout the day. All ages will have fun. Guess what? An all day free, family friendly event. And, here is a little teaser.
Saturday, 4/9 – The Great American Beach Cleanup. Sponsored by the Sandoway House Nature Center. 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m., at the City’s Municipal Beach.
Delray’s beach is one of its primary assets. It is a wide and unobstructed beach. The water is warm and clear.
Volunteers are requested to participate in the nation’s largest community improvement program to collect trash and debris in an effort to promote a cleaner and safer City beach. Supplies will be provided and community service hours will be awarded.
Volunteer registration will be held at the Sandoway Park, located next to the Nature Center, at 142 South Ocean Blvd. at 7:00 a.m. More info?, please call Patrick Morehouse, Site Manager at 561-274-7263.

The Delray Green Market is located at SE 4th Avenue just south of Atlantic Ave. This market has also introduced a recycling program. Form more info., please contact Lori Nolan at 561-276-7511.
The Delray Green Market is one of my favorites when visiting Delray. Baked goods, flowers, music; just strolling early in the morning is very relaxing. If you decide to go, pick up their cookbook. It has very good, easy recipes by locals.
