The Crystal Bridge Conservatory is a unique experience as a tropical escape within a beautiful public garden landscape in the center of urban Oklahoma City. When Myriad Botanical Gardens decided to transform their Crystal Bridge Conservatory, Gecko Group got to work with the project team to help design a new experience that would be a must-see destination for Oklahoma City, while connecting visitors to the natural world through exceptional educational opportunities. Through integrated, immersive, and hands-on experiences within the three levels of the conservatory, visitors discover plants are remarkable living beings that are amazingly adapted to survive and benefit all life. They encounter how plants shape the world we live in and are affected by the impacts of our choices as they meander through tropics.

Allen and I were delighted to collaborate with Gecko Group to produce a series of murals that highlighted the unique relationships between pollinators and plants.
