For 2026, the Artist’s Garden is a new show at the Lyme Art Association and is inspired by the beauty of gardens. Gardens, these cultivated spaces where nature and creativity intertwine, have long been a source of inspiration and creativity. From lush florals to quiet corners, cultivated plots to imagined landscapes, this exhibition reflects on how artists see and interpret the garden as a place of growth, reflection, and renewal, and is a celebration of the beauty, symbolism, and personal meaning of gardens.
