If you haven’t visited the Huntsville Botanical Garden lately, we highly recommend you head on over to experience their latest exhibit ‘In Full Swing’. The exhibit, which runs through October 31, 2022 and features over 40 swings of all shapes and sizes spread throughout the Garden. The exhibit invites guests to slow down and spend time in nature in a fun, playful way.

“With In Full Swing, we wanted to provide guests with a new way to enjoy the Garden,” said Sue Wagner, chief executive officer of the Garden. “There is something very nostalgic about a swing: no matter how old you are, it feels reminiscent of a childhood summer. We wanted to capture that joyful feeling and encourage guests to slow down, play and relax in the Garden, away from the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives.”

The exhibits features 10 different types of swings, including:

  • Tree swings that are tucked away in the forest of the Garden’s Dogwood Trail
  • Bed swings that are the size of a twin bed
  • Baby swings for the Garden’s littlest guests
  • Gallery swings painted by local artists with designs inspired by nature
  • A wheelchair-accessible swing

“It was important to us to create an exhibit that incorporated swings of all kinds, for guests of all ages and interests,” said Rebecca Turk, director of learning and public engagement.

The exhibit is included with regular daytime Garden admission and is free for Garden members. For more information, visit hsvbg.org/InFullSwing.
