Experience the seductive beauty of gardens through the eyes of celebrated contemporary artist Ebony G. Patterson. Explore provocative garden-inspired installations and exotic flora—from a monumental peacock sculpture to swarms of glitter-encrusted vultures—in works that examine the secrets to be found buried just beneath the garden as you know it.

Inspired by her immersion in NYBG’s collections, Patterson’s work explores entanglements of race, gender and colonialism while inviting visitors to contemplate their own relationships with gardens and the natural world. See if you can find the hidden birds in the plants.
