Planters and seasonal displays are utilized to bring color and interest to the parking lot and other gathering spaces, creating a more welcoming first impression for visitors. These rotating displays also give us the opportunity to highlight nonhardy or tender plants that are not featured elsewhere in our permanent collections, allowing us to showcase a wider diversity of species throughout the year.
