Stumped Exhibition

Our boreal forest holds untold stories full of magic, science, and adventure. Stumped guides Botanical Garden guests though a Story Forest, where they will happen upon portals to the world of stories, transforming ordinary trails into magical literary waypoints. These pieces blend outdoor learning, imagination, and the restorative calm of the forest.

The stumps represent stories, whether from literature or the artist's own adventures, that include a blend of nature and the flora of our province. Viewers are encouraged to envision and experience nature in a novel way.

Art pieces may be impressionistic, realistic, abstract, textile, mixed media, paint- basically any media that allowed the artist to tell their story and vision of the world of plants, and the artistic inspiration found in nature.
