Description

For the Birds is a celebration of the garden’s resident birds inspired, in part, by “For the Birds: The Birdsong Project,” a set of bird-related songs written and performed by musicians across the globe. In addition to family-friendly events and horticulture displays, the program features an interpretive trail revealing the relationships between birds and the garden’s plants and an outdoor exhibit of site-specific artist-designed birdhouses.
