by

Explore an extraordinary collection of kinetic sculptures, masterfully crafted by artist and engineer George Sherwood. Art in Motion spans an impressive 25 years of Sherwood’s artistic journey, showcasing 17 intricate stainless-steel sculptures that move in the wind and reflect the sunlight. Drawing inspiration from patterns and perspectives in nature such as birds in flight, ripples and reflections on the surface of water, and floral forms, each sculpture captures the dynamic forces of nature and reflects the beauty of our living world. Art in Motion invites visitors to find moments of tranquility and joy while considering the subtle, ongoing changes taking place in the natural world around us.

Each sculpture featured in New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill’s Art in Motion is unique and interacts with its surroundings in its own special way. The pieces vary in shape, size, and movement, ranging from smaller more intimate sculptures to large-scale works reaching up to 21 feet. A collection of Sherwood’s work, Wind, Waves and Light, was featured at New England Botanic Garden in 2019. A few favorites from this collection return as part of Art in Motion along with pieces not previously displayed at the Garden and one new, never-before-seen sculpture. Discover them all this spring, summer, and fall!

Saturday, September 20 – Sunday, September 21 – New England Fall Flower Show

by

The New England Fall Flower Show reflects on the rich history of MHS’s flower shows and embraces the future of how we continue to grow. This idea is summed up in the theme “World in Bloom”, which signifies how the show draws inspiration simultaneously from the nearly 200-year-old history of MHS and the legacy of the Flower Show as well as the limitless possibilities of the future. This dichotomy works harmoniously as an underlying current in the work of all competition entries and exhibitors. The event represents how MHS, and we as members of many communities throughout the region, can use the knowledge from the roots of our heritage and the aspirations of future growth to create, change, and inspire in the present. Exhibitions, displays, vendors, and demonstrations will draw inspiration from global plants, styles, themes, and designs. We celebrate the importance of plants around the world and the impact that cultivating and exhibiting plants can have on well being, health, and community.

The 2025 New England Fall Flower Show will take place on Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21, 2025 at the Garden at Elm Bank in Wellesley, MA. The Schedule is live – access at https://www.masshort.org/fall-flower-show
