Feast Your Eyes: The Unexpected Beauty of Vegetable Gardens

On view Saturday, February 4, 2006 to Sunday, April 2, 2006

Feast Your Eyes brings together images from the Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Gardens (AAG), as well as images and documents from other museums and repositories, to chart the history of the vegetables' exclusion from ornamental gardens to their surprising comeback during the past twenty years. The exhibition concludes with "vegettes," whimsical tales of vegetables now popular in both public and private gardens.
