The Creative Mind of George Washington Carver at Garfield Park Conservatory
The Creative Mind of George Washington Carver Artist’s Garden Show will provide visitors insight about Carver’s artistic and scientific development and the gifts he shared with the world. Carver understood that our emotional peace is interdependent on our surroundings, and he believed that everyone deserved to be surrounded by beauty. George Washington Carver teaches about the endless inspiration available in nature and the power of allowing that creativity to blossom. Visitors will find inspiration in the Artist’s Garden this summer by enjoying the beautiful floral landscape inspired by Carver’s paint washes & botanical illustrations.
