The Green Living Festival staff from the EarthWays Center welcomes you as a registrant. This year the event will again take place at the Center for Home Gardening at the Missouri Botanical Garden with over 40 total expert exhibitors and vendors expected. We couldn’t do this event without your participation. Thank you!

Date/Time

Saturday, June 6, 2020 from 9 a.m.–4 p.m., rain or shine

Location

Missouri Botanical Garden
The Festival will take place at the Missouri Botanical Garden and be located primarily in the Center for Home Gardening and its surrounding gardens and grounds. This location will allow us to highlight Plant-Based Solutions for Sustainability and to take advantage of interpretive elements of the building to showcase green technologies. Picking up on previous years, the event will remain focused via a smaller overall footprint and take advantage of the indoor areas and classroom at the Center for Home Gardening.

Exhibitors/Vendors

Exhibitor areas will be primarily inside the Kemper Center. Because of heavy rain and weather in the past, we have successfully transitioned the main footprint of the event inside. Most exhibitors will have a 6′ × 4′ display space with one table and one chair inside the building instead of a tent outside. You will need to plan your booth/exhibit space accordingly.

Our local food court, children's activities, and yoga will be located outside on the surrounding grounds under tents. In the event of inclement weather, they may be relocated indoors as well.
