The Research Center garden reopened to the public this month after being closed for a period of time due to archeological digs of the grounds related to plans for the new Museum building and for the Art and Leadership Program that was held daily throughout the summer.
The garden features ever-changing flowers and plants that Georgia O’Keeffe painted or planted in her garden at her house in Abiquiu, New Mexico. A garden highlight includes O’Keeffe’s striking cast aluminum sculpture, Abstraction, 1946 (cast 1979/1980).
Open to the public on weekdays, guests are welcome to explore the grounds through complimentary self-guided garden tour guides, which can be found on the patio tables.
The Museum would like to thank the Barbara Goede Family Foundation for the generous support of the garden.
