GARDEN POETRY WALK

Year-Round


Poetry, Inspired By The Natural World

You will find a number of stand-up display poetry boxes scattered throughout the Garden exhibiting both well-known and lesser-known poetry befitting the year-round changing seasons. Look for them along the Floral Walk.

From April 1-May 31, the Garden celebrates National Poetry Month by hosting the poems written by our local poetry contest winners in our poetry boxes.
