The fern room at Phipps currently has art installations that reuse old materials such as plastic bottles, can lids and glass. The pieces were placed around the room in such a way that they integrated with the ferns and other plants and created a cohesive look to the setting. Often this is a room that I just walk right through in order to get to the connected Orchid Room. However, with the art displays up I took the time to enjoy this room and see some interesting ferns I haven't noticed before such as the Tasmanian Tree Fern.
