We're excited to have once again joined Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens' virtual Earth Day celebration! This year's festivities included the launch of an online educational video and activity hub with local environmental organizations merging science, art and the natural world. The Gardens also partnered with the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, Florida Crystals, Florida Power & Light and Lewis Longman & Walker PA to create a bilingual coloring book featuring the work and imagery of several local environmental organizations. Print versions were distributed with coloring supplies to elementary schools across Palm Beach County. You can download a copy and explore the hub here!
