The Campanile Garden at Reiman Gardens

Main Page | The Importance of Water

Nicole Soderquist, Outdoor Horticulture Intern

The Campanile Garden this year at Reiman Gardens focuses on the World Wide Web. The garden goes along with the theme for the year, “Insects!” The Campanile Garden is not only designed to look like a web with black pearl peppers (Capsicum annuum ‘Black Pearl’) creating the lines of the web, but it is a place where you can learn how insects themselves communicate in their own sometimes very different ways. Placed near the Campanile Garden you can find one of ten of David Rogers’ larger than life wooden insect sculptures, an enormous spider and web suspended within the trees.
