Join us for a vibrant Earth Day Celebration on Saturday, April 25 from 10 am to 1 pm at the Teton County Fairgrounds in Driggs. This free, family-friendly event honors our planet and inspires a greener future.
This year’s celebration features educational activities, live performances, raffle prizes, food and fun. Kids and adults alike will find engaging, hands-on opportunities to learn more about sustainability, conservation, and environmental stewardship.
Hosted by Mountain Roots Education and Teton Valley Community Recycling, the Earth Day Celebration brings together more than two dozen local organizations, including food vendors and business sponsors. A huge thanks to Teton County Fairgrounds for generously donating the venue.
This is a zero waste event made possible by our partnership with Jackson Hole Zero Waste Project, part of Vibrant Initiatives. The Earth Day Celebration will feature reusable service items, compost and burnables. Additionally, RAD Curbside will provide recycling bins.
New this year, there will be repair stations with volunteers darning sweaters, doing simple mending projects, fixing lamps and offering advice on houseplant health. Attendees are welcome to bring in textiles or houseplants that need some love.
Gardening for Pollinators
May 2nd, 2026 3-5 pm
Mountain Roots Education Office
91 E Little Ave, Driggs, ID
In this workshop, you'll be introduced to the wonderful world of pollinators as we walk through the process of creating a thriving garden sanctuary for them in your outdoor space, no matter the size!
Led by Lucille Wright, owner of Wild Mint Gardens, we'll dive into pollinator life cycles, habitat structure, and native plant selection. Highlighting a few native pollinator species and their specific needs will help you shape your garden ecosystem to welcome and support them. Each participant will be assisted with designing their own pollinator patch during the workshop and receive a printed Gardening for Pollinators guide to take home.
