The Way It Looked That Day
2025-11-05 09:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-04 09:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-03 09:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-02 09:00 - 17:00, 2025-11-01 09:00 - 17:00
Photography by John Eder

This spotlight exhibition features a rotation of staff photographer John Eder’s favorite photos taken over the past three years. With behind-the-scenes access and a deep familiarity with its landscape, he has captured moments that might otherwise go unnoticed—a certain slant of light, a rare bloom, a quiet transformation. Much like photos, notes, and sketches are gathered on a refrigerator door, these informally presented pictures highlight Eder’s experience photographing the Garden’s Living Canvas.

On display July 19, 2025 – January 11, 2026 in Fogg Café.

About the Artist After 40 years of professional photography in New York City and Los Angeles, John Eder returned to Naples where he continues his profession by chronicling the Garden’s plant collection, people, and special events.
