THE McKEE BOTANICAL GARDEN--
Revisited

Square dancing friends Mark and Nancy Meinzer (above) from Mansfield enjoy a "Whispering Seat" sculpture on display with many other artistic creations at this popular garden in Vero Beach.  They recently spent a week visiting with Sue and yours truly.

Nancy is whispering in the tube and Mark can clearly hear her remarks, transmitted without amplification through the pipes circling between the blue mouthpieces--cleverly presented as blooming flowers on their metallic vines.

The lower photo shows the world's largest table in the Hall of Giants, a building constructed by an eccentric philanthropist in the style of his other local creation, The Driftwood Inn, featured on the blog in January.

This table also was featured on the blog (in early January) when it was festooned with colorful little Christmas trees made of scraps of wrapping paper.
