In honor of this week's Earth Day--and the continuing festivities--why not make it a green-themed weekend? Check out these top picks for going green (eco-wise and color-wise) for April 26 - 27.

• Evergreen's Earth Day Vancouver Celebration
  Join the 3,000+ crowd at Vancouver's biggest Earth Day celebration on Jericho Beach. Listen to live music from the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, see roving performers, take nature tours, and join the Jericho Stewardship Group in beach restoration activities.

• Everett Crowley Park Earth Day Celebration
  Want to go where you're really needed? Plant trees to help with reforestation of Everett Crowley Park, once the city's land fill. The celebration includes plenty of kids' activities, main stage live music, food vendors, and more.

• VanDusen Botanical Garden Plant Sale
  Grab your wheelbarrows, carts and wagons and take home some of the 40,000 plants on sale at this huge fundraising event. Admission to the garden is free for the day, and Master Gardeners are on hand to offer advice.
