Poinsettias After Dark: Dimensions
The sparkling lights of the holidays are bringing a whole new dimension to this year’s Poinsettia Exhibit! Join us for a very special edition of Gardens After Dark as we illuminate our Poinsettia Exhibit like never before! Be mesmerized by the vibrant plant-life under shimmering lights as hundreds of reflective surfaces transport you to an entirely different dimension.
This year’s Poinsettia Exhibit will feature a brand-new installation called Dimensions. These displays feature large reflective orbs and mirrors and explore how reflections of our own world can cause us to view familiar objects and shapes in entirely new ways. We hope the experience of stepping into a conservatory full of new dimensions is as exhilarating to our visitors as it is for our team.
Our mirrored displays offer never before seen angles of our spaces. This opportunity to see our gardens from a brand new perspective is one you wont’ want to miss. Experience this exhibit daily during our Poinsettia Exhibit. The beautiful world of flowers is sure to enchant you this holiday season.
This year the Poinsettia Exhibit will not feature a train display by the Western New York Garden Railway Society. As we reimagine our living museum, our exhibits and plan for our future expansion, we want to be able to bring a garden railway display to our visitors that is full of wonder and enhances our mission of deepening the connection between people and plants. We hope to bring this popular display back in future years in a new and exciting way.
