THANK YOU to ALL our Community Designers/Builders!
Norfolk Botanical Garden is currently hosting 60+, original, whimsical and one-of a kind-birdhouses. The Beakitecture community will be on display during the summer of 2023. From the tiniest house to larger-than-life human-sized birdhouses, the Enchanted Forest (one of the most visited locations for our over 14,000 Garden Members and daily admission guests) will be home to these community-based creations.
Builders, Architects, Organizations, Local Artists, Students and Individuals! Beakitecture has been created by EVERYONE in the local community.
