Need something to brighten up your garden during these gloomy winter months? Check out the Hardy Anise Shrub (Illicium parviflorum ‘Florida Sunshine’)!☀️⁠

Not only are its leaves a beautiful golden color, they also emit an aromatic fragrance when crushed.⁠

The Present Order is one of five works Ian Hamilto

The Present Order is one of five works Ian Hamilton Finlay created using the words of French Revolutionary Louis Antoine Léon de Saint-Just.⁠
⁠
Each group of stone blocks is carved with the phrase, “The Present Order is the Disorder of the Future” and the surname of its author, written in Dutch, English, French, German, or in this case, Italian!🇮🇹⁠
⁠
Saint-Just believed that a new society, one which fully recognized the working class, could be realized. The Present Order, placed along The Carell Trail, achieves a similar contrast between the grand ideals of neoclassicism and traditional garden design.⁠
⁠
Ian Hamilton Finlay (British, 1925-2006), with Nicholas Sloan (British, b. 1951). The Present Order (in Italian), 1988. Stone. Museum purchase through funds provided by Ann & Monroe Carell, Jr.

Sophie Ryder's Crawling Lady Hare is a must see on

Sophie Ryder's Crawling Lady Hare is a must see on the Ann & Monroe Carell Jr. Family Sculpture Trail!🐇⁠
⁠
The British sculptor is best known for her work featuring mystical creatures, animals, and hybrid beings stemming from her fascination with the Minotaur — a Greek mythological creature with an animal head and a human body. The Lady Hare is a signature sculpture series for Ryder, bringing to life a hybrid of the female body with the head of a lady hare.⁠
⁠
Check it out on the now fully accessible Hickory Loop, and share your photos with us using #CheekwoodSculpture!📸⁠

Listen👂closely next time you see Doug Hollis’ High-back Windharp Chairs...⁠

If you've been to Riverfront Park since 2015, you

If you've been to Riverfront Park since 2015, you may have seen this sculpture by internationally acclaimed Spanish artist Jaume Plensa!🎶⁠
⁠
Silent Music II is distinctive for its explicit reference to music—a conscious nod to Nashville and its status as “Music City.” Silent Music II uses stainless steel musical notes to create an open, monumental figure that references the universal communication conveyed through music and felt across the human experience.⁠
⁠
Silent Music II is located in Cheekwood's Riverview Gardens in downtown Nashville, a half-acre garden that mirrors coinciding displays at Cheekwood. Check it out on your next visit to downtown Nashville, and share your photos with us using #CheekwoodSculpture!📸⁠

Did you know the granite stone comprising Ulrich R

Did you know the granite stone comprising Ulrich Rückriem’s Untitled was excavated in the former Yugoslavia?⁠
⁠
Rückriem's work, located on the Cedar Loop of The Carell Trail, calls attention to the transformation of⁠
natural material into a human-made object, and⁠ references the sculptural tradition of the monolith, or⁠ single, vertically-oriented blocks of stone that mark⁠ events or places of significance.⁠
⁠
The Carell Trail features 10 works on a 1.5-mile woodland path, including the now fully accessible Hickory Loop. Check it out on your next visit, and share your photos with us using #CheekwoodSculpture!⁠

Ulrich Rückriem (German, b. 1938). Untitled, 1993. Granite. Museum purchase through funds provided by Ann & Monroe Carell, Jr.

Have you visited our newly renovated Ann & Monroe

Have you visited our newly renovated Ann & Monroe Carell Jr. Family Sculpture Trail?🍃⁠
⁠
Artist John T. Scott based Tree Poem on trees found at Cheekwood on The Carell Trail. The sculpture is made out of aluminum so that it would create reflective, optical effects as the viewer walked around it. The point is not to “fool” people, but to make them pay more attention to their environment.⁠
