The Garden will be open on Monday, May 26, commemorating Memorial Day, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. All active or retired military service members will receive free admission to the Garden with a valid military I.D.

Plan your visit to see the final showing of Alice’s Wonderland and the world premiere of Enchanted Trees by Poetic Kinetics. Head to the Children’s Garden to cool off the kids in the splash pad and enjoy what’s blooming! Alice’s Wonderland features 38 larger-than-life sculptures in seven installations inspired by Lewis Carroll’s timeless tales, plus Shaggy Dog and the now-iconic Earth Goddess, two pieces in the Garden’s permanent collection from the 2013-14 exhibitions Imaginary Worlds: Plants Larger Than Life and A New Kingdom of Plant Giants.

Enchanted Trees by Poetic Kinetics marks the return of the artists behind the Garden’s 2021 exhibition of a signature rainbow-hued “Skynet” billowing above the Canopy Walk. The 10 sculptures will be scattered throughout the Garden, drawing onlookers with their dazzling acrylic leaves. Standing from 10 to 17 feet tall, the trees cast dappled light and reflective, shifting colors on everything around them.

This exhibition is created by Poetic Kinetics and produced by Elemental Exhibitions.
