Garden rules? Director of Reynolda Gardens Jon Roethling has a few thoughts. 🌱

Roethling believes the best gardens aren’t about following every rule, they’re about choosing plants that thrive, keeping things interesting and leaving room to experiment.

Read the full article from Dengarden for advice from the expert behind Reynolda’s iconic gardens.

A historic garden’s most useful lesson may be knowing when to break the old rules.

Nam June Paik's "Leonardo da Vinci" is glowing once again, and now you can experience it in a new setting.

Now on view on the Tea Porch inside Reynolda's Historic House, this groundbreaking work by the pioneering video artist has returned to life following an extensive restoration. Using custom technology, careful conservation, and a deep commitment to preserving Paik's artistic vision, our collections team brought the sculpture's vibrant moving images back for visitors to enjoy.

The restoration even reunited the work's two original video sequences, allowing Leonardo da Vinci to appear as Paik intended more than three decades ago.

Stop by the museum to see this one-of-a-kind work in motion and experience the intersection of art, technology, and innovation.
