Participants painted plant pots and chose an herb or succulent to grow, combining hands-on engagement with nature and opportunities for conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guided prompts encouraged discussions about sustainability, resilience, and personal experiences, which helped foster meaningful intergenerational connections. The session concluded with a reflection on cultivating a more environmentally mindful community, and showed how simple shared activities can plant the seeds for lasting sustainable values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00a0Our Power, Our Planet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme \u201cOur Power, Our Planet\u201d for Earth Day on April 22, celebrates the everyday actions that can help protect the environment.
