Dominic Benhura visiting from Zimbabwe at The Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden

29 August 2014

August 26-Sept. 1

Join us to meet Dominic Benhura this coming weekend!

Awards from the United Nations and the Nelson Mandela Foundation have helped make Dominic Benhura one of the most prominent Shona sculptors in the world. He’ll be at The Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden for one week only.

For centuries, botanical gardens around the world have featured sculpture throughout their grounds… Now, the (Naples Botanical) Garden is capitalizing on its “Gardens of Latitude” tagline to present more than 200 stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, which rests in the same 26 degrees north and 26 degrees south band around the equator that is the Garden’s focus.

Brian Holley, Executive Director at the Garden, says “I think just providing the opportunity for people to see the quality of sculpture that is being produced in Zimbabwe will be a surprise to most people,” he says. “But even more important will be the way that the sculptures enhance the experience of visiting the garden.”
