Annmarie Garden and the United Way of Calvert County are partnering to bring healthy and creative programs for all ages – take a walk, make a fairy wand, participate in a public art project and enjoy other fun, family-friendly outdoor programs! Site admission to Annmarie Garden will be FREE from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 8, 2010. Explore healthy habits, get moving and connect with art and nature.ย 

United Way of Calvert County will be taking the lead on the ยผ mile sculpture path, with four activity stations to stimulate your brain development and encourage reading habits for the whole family. Use the fairy house scavenger guide as you walk the path to find all 25 fairy houses! ย 

Join Oreen Cohen, Annmarieโ€™s artist-in-residence as she builds the public art project, You make the bed you sleep in, on the outdoor patio. Cohen invites visitors to help build a โ€œbedโ€ out of reclaimed materials collected on the grounds of Annmarie Garden. Take time to find materials while walking the sculpture path collecting natural materials that will contribute to the public art project.
