A processional performance by Patrick Costello

BBG artist in residence Patrick Costello’s The Holes are Alive: A Garden Tour is an immersive theatrical performance in the form of a guided tour focused on plants and pollinators.

Bringing together artists, scientists, horticulturists, and other delightful weirdos, this collaborative outdoor spectacle revels in the exuberant messiness of multispecies interactions, especially as they occur within the fraught and necessary space of a garden. Come for the fall blooms, stay for the beetle-magnolia relationship drama. Thistle definitely be something you won’t want to miss!

Performers include: Ash Ferlito, Bex Love, Bruce Baldini, Emily Bate, Evelyn Manlove, Jackie Soro, Jessi Li, Kat Sotelo, Kiebpoli Calnek, Patrick Costello, Pawel Pieluszynski, Quinn Jordan, and Will Lenihan. American Sign Language interpretation provided by ASL artist Brandon Kazen-Maddox.

Suggested for ages 12 and over
Tickets: $22; $18 for Garden members
