Aquatic Reflections, the glass mosaic that is filling the empty pools of the Wedding
Garden, is almost completed. This has been a complex undertaking for the Foundation, which has had
to juggle art, technology, weather, construction approvals, volunteer labor and funding.
The project is
receiving rave reviews from visitors who have seen it being installed. As word spreads, the glass ponds filled with lily
pads, goldfish and frogs will hopefully draw more admirers to our beautiful gardens.
This is our first major Art in the Gardens project, with more to come. Visit the Wedding
Garden to “Find the Turtle” in our new mosaic. |
