This year marks 50 years of Earth Day celebrations and while we may not be able to mark the day with in-person gatherings or events, there are still ways to celebrate digitally.

Get Crafty
Learn how to make a beautiful and fragrant wreath, using fresh herbs, with Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm’s latest Workshop Wednesdays video, which launches on their YouTube Channel at 9 a.m. on Earth Day.
Support Local, Sustainably
We’ve showcased a variety of sustainable products from our retail program—like the sustainable scrap hats from Green Bean ReLoved—on our Love for Kelowna online store so you can support local while living sustainably.
Share Your Favourite Kelowna Nature Photos
Though you may not be able to explore Kelowna in quite the way you’re used to, you can still share your best shots of Canada’s four-season playground, showcasing our region’s beauty on Earth Day. Be sure to include #exploreKelownafromhome when sharing to your social media channels.
