Featured speaker will be Ixia member Adam Arendell who will address the many benefits of using natives to replace exotic plants that threaten our state’s natural areas.

Adam, a native Floridian, is a life-long nature lover, plant enthusiast and gardener.  He grows native plants to attract pollinators and promote conservation and likes to spend his free time hiking around Northeast Florida finding endemic and endangered plants.

The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public.  A social hour will follow and refreshments will be served.

This program is for children birth to 5 years with an adult caregiver. The program includes stories, books, fingerplays, nursery rhymes, and songs that promote language development, vocabulary building, and comprehension.

This is an ongoing class that meets every Friday for all artists levels. The class will focus on pastels, materials and techniques.

Students will work from a live model and still life setups on a rotating basis using various types of soft pastels and supports. Check our website for the recommended supply list.

Questions can be directed to Kevin Arthur @ 904-327-7439
