The annual art sculpture exhibit at Reiman Gardens is a must see for me--and a recommended option for you. This year's display, by artist Alex Heveri, is appropriately named "Glass in Flight". She skillfully used antique slab glass and steel to bring out the best in these good garden insects--such as butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, etc. Yet there is more! The Reiman Gardens 2023 theme is "Light and Reflection." We were there on a mostly sunny day and the light on this special "GLASS AND STEEL" was beauty to behold.
