Two Opportunities to Save in Your GardenThe Town has made going green easier in the garden easier this summer. Take advantage of the electric leaf blower rebate and free organic compost: 1) Atherton residents can get a $250 rebate when they purchase an electric leaf blower and its associated batteries and chargers. Residents can purchase on behalf of their gardener or can purchase a set of batteries to keep at home for the equipment their gardener already has. Learn more and apply here: https://www.ci.atherton.ca.us/668/Electric-Leaf-Blower-Program. 2) Pick up free organic compost to use in your garden. The compost is made from the green bin yard waste collected by GreenWaste Recovery, the town’s solid waste service provider. The organic compost is available from the self-service pile at Holbrook Palmer Park, across from the historic water tower. Please bring your own containers, shovels, and gloves. These programs are part of the town’s efforts to reduce waste, conserve resources, and enhance the environment.

- Cooking demos in Acterra's Plant-Based Market
- Dozens of models of electric vehicles and bikes
- Live music, story times, and a lizard show!
