Event Description

Thank you for your support of Lifelong Learning in the Garden. This class has been cancelled due to low enrollment.

Questions? Call us at 239.643.7275 or email us at LLL@naplesgarden.org.


Diatoms, known as “algae in glass houses” due to their transparent silica walls, are among the largest and most ecologically significant groups of organisms on earth. Found in nearly all bodies of water, they are vital to our aquatic environment. And they are exceptionally beautiful. Experience their elegance through a virtual exhibit of paintings, drawings and sculptures, and understand their role in environmental health and monitoring, past, present and future. Our panel will take you along on the science of diatoms and the power of art and public installations to broaden knowledge of nature.
