This summer, discover a world where scale shifts and perspective transforms everything you thought you knew about plants. Big and Small, a whimsical outdoor exhibit by Tork Collaborative Arts with Tony Ball, invites guests to explore towering blooms, oversized botanicals, and tiny details brought to life in unexpected ways.

Highlights include giant trumpet-shaped sculptures inspired by the carnivorous pitcher plants of the genus Sarracenia, a vibrant oversized bouquet modeled after the globe-like blooms of Gomphrena, and a hillside field of poppies. Together, the sculptures create a colorful summer journey that blends art, horticulture, and curiosity, inviting guests of all ages to explore the garden from fresh perspectives.
