Origami In The Garden - Sculpture Garden Featuring Florigami
2024 is Origami in the Garden’s 10th Anniversary traveling the nation. This season the largest exhibit is home in New Mexico!
We are so excited for the Opening of Origami In The Garden - Sculpture Garden 2024 season with the biggest, boldest, brightest traveling exhibition to date - FLORIGAMI! The Cerrillos, NM sculpture garden and welcome gallery will be open Mon-Fri 9am-2pm. We hope that you will have the opportunity to visit the gardens for a very unique experience where you can explore, discover, and engage all of your senses!
FLORIGMI is the newest traveling exhibition features 18 installations of nearly 70 museum-caliber sculptures inspired by origami – the centuries-old Japanese art of folding paper – created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box in their largest outdoor display to date. Monumental sculptures, inspired from paper are now either fabricated or cast into metal pieces -- of flying birds, emerging butterflies, blooming flowers, grazing deer and other flora and fauna themes.
Walking the garden usually takes about 40 mins, then visitors can experience an interior “Inside Out” paper folding and unfolding exhibit in the Gallery Gift Shop. When on this private property, visitors are invited to take photos, use the parasols, grab a map and always stay on the paths. ONLY well behaved dogs on leashes are allowed. There is NO climbing on sculptures or rocks.
Consider wearing comfy shoes and clothes, a hat, SPF and have a water bottle. There is portable bathroom outside, water and lots of opportunity to experience some JOY! Plan your visit today!

Recommended Lodging
Houses Of The Moon At Ten Thousand Waves
In the tradition of the Japanese ryokan, guests have a short walk from their rooms to the rustic spa, inspired by Japanese-style mountain hot spring resorts. The distinctive details in each of the 14 unique guest rooms and suites reflect Japanese simplicity, and many include courtyards, decks, a private Japanese garden and a kiva fireplace. Surrounded by 20 acres of piñons and junipers in high mountain wilderness, yet just ten minutes away from downtown Santa Fe, this is your choice for an easily accessible romantic vacation in an exotic destination.
Yurts At Hyde Memorial State Park
Connect with the heart of nature in Hyde Memorial State Park's ponderosa pine mountain forest, where three yurts provide a unique lodging experience that's rooted in an ancient nomadic tradition. Each yurt contains six single beds that can be grouped together in various configurations. Kick back in your outside activity area, with a fire ring, dining table and food safe, to keep the critters away. Vault toilets and water are just a short walk away.
