Don't miss this summer extravaganza showcasing the newest trends in the ancient and celebrated art of topiary. 

The Gardens are inhabited by a mysterious menagerie of mystical creatures, including a 40-foot long sea serpent, 13-foot tall sasquatch, Fairy Gourdmother playhouse, a family of marching mushrooms, a village of fairies, and a new majestic 20-foot wide "flaming" Phoenix. Each sculpture features new color palettes and plant designs and will be located in several new areas in the Gardens. Sculptures will be incorporated into specific areas with plantings that anchor each design to the surrounding garden features.

From towering sculpted masterpieces 13 feet tall to smaller child-friendly examples, several major sculptures make up the awe-inspiring display. Special structural armatures covered in a light metal form filled with specially formulated soil and planted with colorful foliage and flowers compose each topiary sculpture.
