This winter come experience an explosion of color at Tower Hill Botanic Garden. The global phenomenon known as yarnbombing is taking over Tower Hill! This collaborative community exhibit features trees, benches, statues, and more, decorated with colorful knitted and crocheted art, created by local artists, students, and volunteers. You will not want to miss this brilliant display. 

WHAT IS YARNBOMBING?
Yarnbombing or yarnstorming, often referred to as “graffiti knitting,” is a colorful art form that uses knitted and crocheted yarn instead of paint. During Yarnstorm, Tower Hill’s trees, benches, statues, and more will be adorned with bright, fantastical fiber artwork. This all-outdoors exhibit redefines walking in a winter wonderland. Come view over 25 unique pieces of art and over 2,000 giant pom poms! 

This exhibit is included in general admission. Pre-purchased tickets, available here, are required for entry. When you arrive at Tower Hill, take a photo of our large outdoor exhibit map. Follow the Yarnstorm map to find all the fiber art pieces. The exhibit spans throughout our formal gardens and includes trees, benches, railings, and even our turtle fountains in the Winter Garden. At each art piece you will have an opportunity to learn more about the artist(s) who created it. Indoors, visitors can pop in to visit our Garden Shop, sub-tropical plant conservatories, and, on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, the café.
