Tremendous Topiaries

On display from May 26 through September 1, 2025

This summer, discover a collection of TREMENDOUS topiary displays in the garden. From a flock of flamingos to a mighty bison, these topiaries are lifelike interpretations of animals that use live plants to mimic the colors and textures of feathers, fur, scales, and skin. Throughout the summer, the plant material will be sculpted and maintained to preserve the lifelike forms of these beloved creatures. With fantastic photo opportunities and a playful scavenger hunt woven into the experience, this exhibit promises a summer full of discovery, creativity, and fun!

Included with paid garden admission. FREE for garden members.
