Artist Sanit Khewhok, winner of the Catharine E.B. Cox Award, will talk about his work.

'The Sensory Garden' was started in 2001 and took 12 months to complete and was the first garden to feature a concrete sidewalk. There are two raised beds made from natural rock that measures 32-inches high by 12-feet wide by 42-feet long. A six-foot wide sidewalk surrounds the beds and connects to the service road. Screened topsoil and peat moss were used to backfill the gardens. Rocks were added as an accent. Plants with smell and touch were planted near the edge. Plants with more unique shape and color were planted in the middle of the garden.

The 'Boardwalk Garden' (formerly called the Bogwalk Garden) has a unique 180-foot boardwalk constructed to give participants the feel of actually entering and experiencing a bog. Water plants are featured in 12 tubs that line the path. Intriguing trees, ground shrubs, and groundcovers give the viewer a feel for an interesting experience.

What do an octopus tree, leopard tree, and cat's whisker plant have in common? They represent a collection of plants and trees with animal names! The Animal Garden has 45 plants with this distinctive trait.

The Pizza Garden features plants found on a pizza. The five-slice pizza (one piece was eaten) measures 15-feet across and includes green pepper, sweet pepper, pineapple, onion, tomato, parsley, basil, and sweet marjoram. Swan daisy was planted for its brilliant yellow flowers. Recycled concrete stepping stones are painted red to represent pepperoni. The crust is represented by painted recycled concrete cores. The slices are separated by aluminum edging. The sign is made from monkeypod wood with the words cut with a router.

The 'Butterfly Garden' (formerly called Worm Tunnel) features a 50-foot long curving tunnel that students can enter from one end and imagine themselves inside a worm. A concrete sidewalk was constructed first to provide a low maintenance footpath. The walls are made from reinforcing bars covered with nylon mesh and burlap. Creeping fig was selected to cover the worm. Unique features are a convex mirror placed at the one end worm and as they emerge they see themselves, air holes in the sides, eyes, and antennae. Plants, such as the butterfly bush and butterfly weed, draw moths and butterflies and were planted to enhance their attraction to the garden.

The garden is a nearly perfect circle 20-feet in diameter with a border of gray arbor stones that surround the two sizes of hardscape material of gravel and pea gravel. The garden has an eight-foot long shiny black wood and fiberglass resin "gnomon" marking solar time. Skillfully handcrafted roman numerals are recessed into concrete blocks to record the sun's travel during the day along points around the sundial.

'Hawaiian Alphabet Tree Garden' is an exceptional garden all by itself. Native Hawaiian trees accent the 13 consonants, vowels, and okina found in the Hawaiian language. For every letter there is a selection of native trees. Trees represented include alahee, hame, kawila, koa, lonomea, naio, ohia, papala, wiliwili, and `aalii.

The theme focuses on plants with house names. The House Garden is divided into five different rooms of plants (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room and garage) with each having its own distinct menagerie of plants and garden artwork.

The Asian art consists of over 16,000 objects by artists and craftspeople from China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and India. The largest number and the most strength within the collection are the Chinese and Japanese holdings which include paintings, sculpture, ceramics, lacquer ware and prints
