It’s National Environmental Education Week!
If you live in southern California’s Inland Empire, mark April 24 on your calendar. You are invited to spend a day in the garden with ArtPlantae and other environmental educators at In the Garden: Birds, Bugs and Blooms, a family day event at Sunnylands Center & Gardens in Rancho Mirage.
Participate in scavenger hunts, guided tours, arts & crafts activities, and learn about insects, birds, reptiles and plants. ArtPlantae will host two learning stations during this event. One station will be about botanical illustration and the other station will be about patterns and scientific illustration.
Join us for a full day of springtime fun!
