Garden Art Exhibit
There will be a Garden Art Exhibit upstairs in the Art to Change the World Headquarters featuring shaped garden art. There will be squares, circles, hearts, hexagons, triangles, etc, all in the theme of things you can see when you are in a garden. Come check out this beautiful garden display made by multiple Art to Change the World artists. These will also be for sale along with seed balls and plants.
