Yet another “National Day” has come across our radar here at 2nd Green Revolution. Following up on yesterday’s post about National Train Day (May 7th, the day after National Public Gardens Day), here comes another example of a cause or event getting a day of recognition. National Public Gardens Day falls on the Friday before Mother’s Day. According to the website, “National Public Gardens Day is an annual celebration of the nation’s public gardens to raise awareness of the important role botanical gardens and arboreta play in promoting environmental stewardship, plant and water conservation, green spaces, and education in communities nationwide.”
