SOLOMONS, MD โ€”ย Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland, is now offering Eco-Explorations when school is out, from 10am to 11am. Come take an Eco-exploration lead by our new staff Naturalist, Hester Burch, as she leads youngsters and their caregivers throughย  a hands-on exploration of the natural world of Annmarie Garden.
