The Cleveland Botanical Garden comes to beautiful life this summer with new sights and experiences all season long. A new exhibit Bloom! Botanicals & Birdhouses opens Saturday, May 27th with hundreds of unique birdhouses, stunning glass art, and artwork from Cleveland artist Asia Armour.
Bloomin’ Glass Botanicals with The Glass Asylum on the Geis Terrace
Enter a world of stunning glass botanicals created by The Glass Asylum in Chagrin Falls. Created with a combination of glass blown pieces and raw steel, the inspiration for the installation is ‘Alice in Wonderland’ meets Dr. Suess. Made with more than 300 pieces of colorful glass, handmade botanicals including larger-than-life tiger lilies, trees with glass ornaments, lily pads, mushrooms, and more were created especially for the botanical garden (move over Dale Chihuly)!
Art in Bloom with Asia Armour along the Geis Terrace Allee
Cleveland artist Asia Armour debuts her art using 1,400 flowers including “Maverick Pink” Geranium, “Victoria Blue” Salvia, and “Campfire” and “Wasabi” Coleus in an explosion of color and design. With assistance from Horticulturist Rob Dzuric, Asia’s art celebrates the glamour of Black women, vibrant color and the wonder of flowers. In addition, Asia’s “In Bloom” canvas art adorns the walls of the interior garden just off the Terrace this summer.
Petals & Perches – birdhouses made by local artists throughout the garden
More than 400 colorful birdhouses welcome our Cleveland birds to find their home tweet homes this summer at the botanical garden. Discover which bird houses are most likely to attract birds, learn more about how birds interact with plants in our garden (and yours)!  Learn which plants will attract birds in all four seasons, how to keep birds safe with tips about feeders, houses, and baths. Birdhouses were created by the public, our staff, and volunteers using upcycled materials.
