The Garden’s annual orchid exhibition, opening soon on Saturday, February 10, is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. Imagine conservatories–already beautiful, warm, and lush with plants–made even more magical by the presence of thousands of living orchids, blooming in captivating colors and forms you may have never encountered before.
To complement the stunning displays in this year’s exhibition, Patterns in Bloom, the Garden partnered with Connecticut-based artist Molly Gambardella for a sculpture installation. Like the orchids themselves, Molly’s large-scale, orchid-inspired sculptural pieces are sure to wow. We caught up with her to learn more about her art, her inspiration, and the innovative, sustainability-minded approach she brings to her work.
