July 4, 2026, commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The United States of America has grown in many ways since 1776, and it continues to evolve, as all living things do. We’re recognizing this once-in-a semiquincentennial moment by focusing on the growth we know best: gardens.
America Grows: 250 Years of Garden Stories is an indoor-outdoor experience connecting history to present-day (and peeking into the future) through immersive installations and community-led programming. Participating artists include Camille “Katahtu’ntha” Billie, Rocco Buttliere, Ishita Gupta, Regin Igloria, Lucy Knisley, Rachel Nador, and Daniel Olvera.
