Art in the Greenhouses
Flamingo Bucky
at K&A Greenhouse
Artist: Nicole Rosenbaum
Location: Mineral Point Rd greenhouse
This Flamingo Bucky statue is covered in beautiful flamingos in a field of flowers, inspired by the beloved UW-Madison tradition of filling Bascom Hill with flamingos each year. This statue was created as part of the Bucky on Parade in 2018.
Bucky on Parade was a community collaboration inspired by CowParade Wisconsin and an overwhelming love for Wisconsin’s favorite mascot, Bucky Badger. The project brought 85 life-sized Bucky statues, transformed into beautiful and fun pieces of art, to the streets of Madison and Dane County from May-September of 2018. In addition to being a community event for all to enjoy, Bucky on Parade raised funds for local organizations and charities. K&A Greenhouse was thrilled to acquire Flamingo Bucky in the winter of 2018 during the Bucky on Parade Charitable Auction. We hope you enjoy him as much as we do.
On, Wisconsin!
Scrap Metal Heron
at K&A Greenhouse
Artist: John Pahlas; Center Ground Studios, Mt. Horeb
Location: Mineral Point Rd greenhouse
This amazing sculpture was commissioned during the 2020 season and installed in the spring of 2021. It was created from scrap metal in John’s welding studio, and the detail is astounding! Upon close inspection, you will notice a wide variety of metal tools and objects within the heron, such as wrenches, chainsaw blades, bike chains, and even library book ends. We encourage you to get up close and personal to this sculpture in order to appreciate its amazing and whimsical details.
The Scrap Metal Heron is located on the causeway between the greenhouses and nursery yard at our Mineral Point Rd location.
