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.
