Summer with Evie and Garrett and my grandkids always makes great memories.
This year was no exception.
Here are some pictures of our family together for a week in June.
We had a great day at Reiman Gardens.
Washed Ashore Sculpture Exhibit
Reiman Gardens will feature 10, larger-than-life sea creature sculptures made from trash collected from beaches to graphically illustrate the issue of the pollution in our oceans and waterways. Clean water is important to all life, and Reiman Gardens is the first public garden to bring you this message of conservation, protection and recycling through these original, inventive and imaginative garbage-to-art sculptures.
IMPACT
Marine debris is a planet-wide problem. Approximately 300 million pounds of plastic is produced globally each year and less than 10% of that is recycled. Much of it ends up in the ocean. This exhibit is a wake-up call for all of us, whether we live near the ocean or in the heart of the Midwest. We are all impacted by water pollution, not only from trash that is thrown into the oceans, but also into our own Iowa rivers and streams.
Reiman Gardens will be the first public gardens in the entire country to host this colorful, garbage-to-art exhibit.
