We were here on July 16th, 2024, but because of the high heat and humidity, we didn't get to see but a very few of the pieces from the Garden of Glass Flowers Exhibit. You can read about that at this link.
Next is information on the artist who made them all. You can enlarge each photo for an easier read. In fact, all the photos can be enlarged if you would like to see more detail.
I saw more sculptures than I had thought. Firstly, there was something over the entrance of the gate, a pretty blue glass display, but I missed the info...
and my photos don't give any of these the justice they deserve. As mentioned in this post, we were in the middle of a heatwave. I found myself rushing through, not giving much thought to how I was taking my pictures, and finally we gave up. But, I think it will give you an inkling.
For the next one I read online that this was made in 2021 by Mr. Smith.
It was inspired by the original celluloid hollyhocks used in the production of the "Wizard of Oz" which he saw during a backstage tour at Disney World.
Glass Wisteria overhanging one of our favorite sitting areas.
We are near the pink house shown in my previous post.
Daffodils
Lily of the Valley
Placed in the middle a produce garden where they were growing cucumber, kohlrabi, squash and leeks, there are glass anthuriums.
That's all the glass pieces for now. I am hoping we will be back but will pick a day when we can walk around the whole garden. With August being the hottest month of the year normally, our next visit may not be until September. We will have to keep an eye on the weather forecast.
I have other photos from the garden, and also inside another gift shop in the museum. Another browsing session which was enjoyable. I will share them soon.
Thanks for stopping by and
I hope you are all having a great week.
