May 13, 2014 - Urban Garden







































Driving by this artwork on a rainy day it is easy to notice this three story sculpture when entering downtown Seattle from Interstate 5.  However, it takes a foot commute and a gorgeous day to truly appreciate the whimsical sculpture.  Installed in June of 2011, "Urban Garden" by Ginny Ruffner is a 27 foot high animated sculpture in downtown Seattle at 7th and Union.  In 15 minutes it will cycle through a watering can watering the 9 foot high pot, to having the Blue Bells open and the Daisy turn.
