Ann Norton Sculpture Garden
This week's activity was to check out the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden . I'm not sure what I really expected, but I do know this place greatly exceeded those expectations. The home (which has been turned into a museum/gallery) was fresh and intriguing (even if I'm not really a fan of the artist-in-residence's style). The gardens were amazing, tranquil and serene. Ann's large sculptures were impressive and thought-provoking. There were over 200 types of palms imported from all over the world. I also enjoyed the orchid shed and studio. One of the more unique aspects were the pathways made from local rock. All-in-all we quite enjoyed our time meandering throughout this garden on a beautiful Florida day.
