“Garden art can change your personal landscape,” said Gayle Picken owner of Gallery by the Bay in Stanwood, Wash., that’s partnering with the botanical garden for the event. “A unique piece of art can create a new enthusiasm as you watch it transition through the seasons.”

A free presentation by gardener Ciscoe Morris is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.on Saturday.

Maps for the event will also be available, and people can have their maps stamped at various stopping points to be entered into a drawing for free prizes.
