I’ve been raving about both my daylight and evening visits to the Chihuly exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden, but I don’t want anyone to get the idea that it isn’t worth a visit after the show closes.
It definitely is.
To begin with, many of the most dramatic Chihuly pieces are part of the garden’s permanent collection and are always on display. However, the plants that make up the gardens are a work of art in and of themselves. They don’t need human intervention to make them beautiful and fascinating.
