About the Exhibition:
Join us to see Jenkins through our visitors’ eyes! This collection of photography is a celebration of the relationship between the gardens and the people who enjoy them. Each visitor has a unique experience in the gardens, perspective of the landscape, and relationship with Jenkins. These photographs capture many of those intimate moments between Jenkins and its visitors.
