Nature Art Exhibit & Children’s Nature Hour
Sunday, August 16
Grace Episcopal Church will host the Nature Art Exhibit of the Redbud Project on Sunday, August 16, in the Parish Hall. This exhibit is in appreciation for the parish’s support of community conservation efforts of Redbud and the mission to spread awareness and protect the unique natural habitats within Hall County and especially in Gainesville.
Opening Reception – 4:00 to 6:00 PM
The reception will feature selected paintings and photographs of native plants, pollinators, birds, and trees—elements that sustain the Cycle of Life and the ecological balance of our region. Works by local artists and photographers will be exhibited in the parish hall off the St. Francis Garden. We will also be previewing the planned relocation of the Redbud Project Native Plant Conservatory and highlight new nature trails designed to expand “Green Space for Health of Humans and Habitats.”
Children’s Nature Hour – 9:30 to 10:30 AM
Children are invited to explore the interconnected life cycles of plants, insects, birds, and humans. Through colorful illustrations, a bird-themed story, and a hands-on plant activity, young learners will discover how closely these groups’ life cycles are intertwined revealing how caring for nature helps nature care for us.
All are welcome to attend these special programs celebrating the beauty and importance of our local natural world. Refreshments will be served
