The Naples Botanical Garden maintains the region’s only conservation seed bank. It contains more than 1 million seeds from 168 species of native Florida and Caribbean plants threatened by rising sea levels, habitat loss and other stressors. To draw attention to this “Hidden Wonder,” the garden has invited Miami-based ceramic sculptor and installation artist Lauren Shapiro to create an exhibition. “What Is Gathered Remains” opens Jan. 23 but guests can help create glass tiles for the exhibition at community workshops on Nov. 14 and 15.
