The Royal Botanic Garden is home to more than 70 statues and sculptures.

From neoclassical nudes carved in marble to plants sensually represented in woven copper, the Royal Botanic Garden is home to more than 70 statues and sculptures — each brimming with stories that reflect changing values, aesthetics and ideals over time.

This Mother’s Day, join our expert volunteer guides for a special guided walk through this open-air gallery. Discover the fascinating history behind these works of art, learn about the artists who created them, and explore how these pieces connect to the rich history of the gardens.

To mark the occasion, each guest will receive a small plant from Growing Friends Plant Sales; a living gift to take home and enjoy. Whether you’re an art lover, a history buff, or looking for a thoughtful Mother’s Day experience, this walk promises to inspire and delight.
