Viewing Mound

A paved pathway draws visitors to the top of the mound featuring Fibonacci, a unique water and metal sculpture with adjacent seating by Pam Hom. Enjoy a moment of meditaion with the soothing sound of flowing water dropping from the “fins” of the sculpture, inspired by the discoveries of proportional geometry found in nature, such as the arrangement of scales on pine cones or seeds in the center of a sunflower. Catch a sweeping view of the grounds from this high point in
the arboretum.

This sculpture was inspired by the discoveries of proportionate geometry found in nature.
