The works, complementing the Garden’s collection of flora, include table-top landscape vessels in cast bronze, creating a dialogue with the galleries and their surrounding gardens.

Throughout the summer, these vessels will display arrangements created by a rotating group of talented floral designers whose interpretations of the art are reflected in unique displays of flowers and other natural materials. the exhibit closes September 30, 2019. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free with paid garden admission.
