Join renowned artist, writer, and gardener Ron Benner for a special garden tour of As the Crow Flies, his thought-provoking and site-specific outdoor installation at Museum London. This immersive garden has been a part of the Museum’s landscape for two decades, showcasing Benner's unique blend of art, horticulture, and environmental stewardship.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Deshkan Ziibi (Thames River), this installation features a serene, former elliptical reflecting pool, now water garden, surrounded by a diverse collection of native plants that have flourished through Benner's careful cultivation. The plants in As the Crow Flies are significant, growing along the 81.14th meridian, a symbolic path that links London, Ontario, to distant places such as Cape Sable, Florida, and the Bay of Pigs, Cuba. The garden thrives as an ecosystem, supporting waterfowl, amphibians, insects, and fish, making it an environmental sanctuary as well as a powerful artistic statement.
