2018 Flower and Garden Festival

Our Display Garden

​

The theme we chose this year is Wabi Sabi: Embrace Flawed Beauty

​

This garden celebrates the Japanese tradition that acknowledges that nothing lasts, nothing is finished and nothing is perfect. We've created a natural spa-like setting to honor and nurture that perfect imperfection in all of us. We hope it will inspire you to celebrate your own special brand of beauty.
