Kick off the Year of the Garden with Michael P. Gibson as he completes the "first cut" in preparation for his May 2027 exhibition, The Voyage. Ships of the Sea Garden Members are invited to meet Michael, learn about the artistry and techniques behind living sculpture , and raise a glass to the beginning of this extraordinary exhibition.

This is a private Garden Member event.

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. Made possible with generous support from Georgia Power.
