Brady Street Blooms
with Flower Power Green Day
MILWAUKEE, WI -- (March 2008) - Brady Street Business Improvement District (BID) announces Flower Power Green Day on Saturday, May 10th, 2008.
From 11 am to 4 pm, Brady Street merchants will present eco-focused ideas, partner with green businesses, and provide information and workshops on a variety of earth-friendly topics designed to show people how to leave a smaller carbon footprint; how to repurpose, what to recycle, where to dispose of hazardous waste, and why to conserve. Whether it’s in the garden, the home, the garage, the medicine chest, or the clothes you wear, there are ways to be socially responsible, lessen the landfill load, and sleep better at night! Participating businesses and organizations include WE Energies, Urban Ecology Center, City of Milwaukee Recycling Program, and Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful. Each participating Brady Street business will host a green partner (either outside or inside participating locations) Rain or shine, it will be a green day on Brady.
And Despite prevailing winds and local horticultural wisdom, merchants and residents will display floral designs using fresh flowers, paper, silk, and organic materials (and anything else they can think of) to create unique, hip, stylish, warm visual interpretations of spring. Even with cool spring Wisconsin temperatures, this event in early May is designed to encourage people to “think spring”, albeit in a container that can be brought in at night! Each design will be on display for the public to view inside and outside, up and down Brady Street during the day.
