The Courtyard

Throughout the year, the ever-blooming Courtyard heart of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is transformed through a series of 10 dramatic seasonal displays that reflect Isabella’s passion for gardens as well as the skill and dedication of the Museum's horticulture team. From orchids to nasturtiums to Japanese-style chrysanthemums, stunning varieties of plants from disparate climates adorn the iconic space in imaginative ways, resulting in a transportative experience each and every visit.
