Join us as celebrated topiary artist Michael Gibson performs the first official trim of Ships of the Sea’s garden topiaries. Known for his innovative approach to property art and his nationally recognized topiary sculptures, Gibson brings more than 30 years of experience, artistry, and storytelling to every cut.

Guests will have the rare opportunity to watch an acclaimed topiarist at work, learn about the techniques behind living sculpture, and get a preview of the creative vision leading to his upcoming 2027 exhibition at Ships of the Sea.

This live demonstration reveals how a topiary begins its artistic journey — shaped by history, culture, precision, and imagination.
