Inspired by color and light, Tower Hill Botanic Garde has combined dazzling plant displays and vibrant art installations to bring you this year’s orchid exhibit, Prismatic! This experience begins as soon as you enter the lobby and continues throughout Tower Hill’s indoor spaces, including the Limonaia and Orangerie, which are adorned with 1,400 colorful orchids and sparkling works of art. Your journey also includes a walk through a rainbow in the Milton Gallery and a view of a shimmering George Sherwood sculpture in the Cafe.
This year’s theme is Prismatic. So, what do prisms have to do with orchids? The answer is light! Prisms capture light, which depending on the type of prism, separate visible light into spectral colors, like you see in rainbows. Plants, including orchids, utilize the energy of light for photosynthesis, which helps create the beautiful blooms you will enjoy during this exhibition. Combining these two elements allows us to create an exhibit that accentuates the power of light and highlights the beauty it is responsible for. This is an experience you will not want to miss!
