Painted Garden Artist: Tyler Kimball
.
Tyler Kimball, glass artist, owns and operates @crown_glass_pains, located in Kansas City, Missouri. He creates glass work that ranges from blown sculptures for public places to stained glass facades for commercial and private residences to home décor and gift glass. Though Kimball’s work has been shown in galleries and museums internationally and is included in many private and public collections, his favorite type of work is that which melds with its environment and is present for the community around it to enjoy.

Most trees shed their leaves in the fall. However, conifers are evergreen, meaning they retain their needle-like or scale-like leaves year-round. This helps them conserve water and thrive in cold climates!
.
Learn more about conifers during Conifer Tips (May 8-19) at Powell Gardens. Admission linked in bio.
