Visit Amherst for an Earth Day celebration of the outdoors!

Celebrate Earth Day with us at the Amherst County Farmers Market. Swing by our Explore Nature By Nurture table to learn about resources and tools to help you identify the wild plants and animals you see in your backyards, gardens, and other outdoor excursions.

How does your garden attract wildlife? Plant it as a full-service habitat and you’ll be rewarded with dozens of species of birds, bees, butterflies, and beetles. If you plant it well, even a small garden can also attract amphibians and reptiles. Watch your garden grow and help scientists learn all about the animals that visit at the same time. Stop by our table at Lynchburg’s Garden Day to learn how!
