With the help of some adventurous fellow CLC3 attendees we found out about the gardens in Richmond, and were able to go several times during the summer before we left for colder pastures. This year they had a special art exhibit in conjunction with the garden, a glass sculpture by the name of Hans Godo Frabel had quite a variety of works on display, starting with this cube.
There were also several really well done renditions of flowers, from orchids to this pitcher plant as well as some more on the fantastical side that reminded me a good deal of Georgia O'Keeffe.
There were several pure whimsey as well, figures dancing, stick figures on a bicycle, and these jesters on balls in the water who Coryn decided were "playing beach ball".
They have a fantastic kids area, with learning gardens, art area, water play, sand area, picnic tables, and even a tree they have designated for climbing. Coryn made a garden with the spoons and shovels...
Carter buried some dinosaurs.
