Branigan Cultural Center will be exploring how Earth is celebrated in different cultures around the world. Studio Programs will be teaching how to make a succulent garden out of recycled objects. Artventurous! at the Museum of Art will be a hands-on activity about Earth and its symbolism.  The Museum of Nature & Science will be showing you how to support the local bird and bee populations by creating mini gardens and peanut butter bird feeders.
