Where: Ripley Center
When: no closing date
I went over to see this small display in the Concourse last week, as the original closing date was early September (and I'm now on to September closings - where does the time go?!?!). Now, however, they've decided to keep it up longer and the closing date has been changed to TBD. So no need to rush out and see this.
It's a display of several models of gardens, done in miniature. You also get a photograph of the real garden (from the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens - who knew?), so it's not just a little toy. It's an actual small replica, designed to spur you on to great feats of garden design. Or at least, give you some ideas of what to do in your back yard.
My only problem with this is that the notes are printed in small type and set mostly in the center of the display. And since the models are set in the middle of large brick pedestals, the middle is rather far from where the viewer is standing. Very hard to see, if one doesn't have eagle eyes.
Verdict: Worth a look, if you're on your way to something else. Basically, just a nice way to decorate the Concourse.
