The Ruth Bancroft Garden's "Sculptures in the Garden" exhibit

The Ruth Bancroft Garden Month-long Exhibit and Sale: June 14 – July 13

What: For one month every year, The Ruth Bancroft Garden transforms into an outdoor art gallery. The Garden’s world-class collection of succulent and drought-tolerant plants provides a spectacular backdrop for artists to display their works. Follow the meandering pathways to discover art that ranges from classical to irreverent, spiritual to functional. All works are for sale, with prices ranging from $60 to $50,000. With the majority of pieces under $5,000 (and most of those under $1,000), this is the perfect place to find art for the home garden.
