The signature piece of artwork for White River Gardens is "Midwestern Panorama," a spectacular circular mural located in the Bud Schaefer Rotunda main entrance. Executed by Miami-based muralist Andrew Reid, this 360-degree depiction of gardening themes is one of the most impressive and important pieces of public art in the state. At nearly 160 feet long and 16 feet high, the main portion of this two-part mural offers visitors a truly dynamic first impression of the Gardens. Extremely colorful and extraordinary in impact, the mural shows a seamless transition of gardening activities and plants from winter through spring, summer, fall and back again. Above this section is an additional mural element that is 100 feet long and 10 feet high and depicts a wisteria vine dripping with flowers of the season. Special thanks to Bob and Cheryl Sparks for their generosity in funding this stunning piece of public art.
