Nestled in the boatslip communities of the Solomons, this garden is an unusual mix of modern sculpture and natural landcape. There is a nicely paved walking/biking trail meadering through the peaceful woodland, where works of sculpted art are scattered throughout.

Walking at a leisurely pace, I spent about one hour on the trail. Most of the garden path is shaded, and there is seating throughout. It was a very hot and humid July morning when I visited; otherwise, I probably would've spent more time appreciating the art. The outdoor area is free of charge; the admission fee is for the enclosed works of art (which I did not view on this visit).

The sculptures were interesting and diverse and the tranquil simplicity of the setting was conducive to viewing the pieces without distraction.
