The Art of Nature
Earth Goddess: An Iconic Piece at this Garden
Rising 25 feet as the centerpiece of the Cascades Garden, the Earth Goddess is a living masterpiece. Born from the 2013-14 Imaginary Worlds exhibition by Mosaïcultures Internationales de Montréal, this iconic sculpture, with her flowing plant-hair and water-spilling hand, became a permanent fixture due to its overwhelming popularity. Crafted by artisan welders using thin rods and sheet steel, the framework is lined, filled with soil, and brought to life each spring with 18,000 annual plants, meticulously “plugged” and nurtured by an internal irrigation system. The horticulture team tends to her daily, shearing to maintain her vibrant, foliage-driven colors and artistic lines. During Garden Lights, Holiday Nights, she transforms into the radiant Ice Goddess, her hair aglow with thousands of twinkling lights.
More Artistry — There are several permanent sculptures such as the Parterre Fountain, Green Man, Frog Baby, Corpse Flower, Shaggy Dog & more. Click here to see the vibrancy of this garden!
