Big (and small) things coming this summer

May 30 to September 30, Reiman Gardens invites visitors to experience Big and Small, a whimsical outdoor exhibit by Tork Collaborative Arts that plays with scale and perspective, transforming familiar flowers like poppies and echinacea into monumental works of art scattered throughout the gardens. While exploring the exhibit you might also happen upon another big (and small) surprise coming to Reiman Gardens this June.
