I had an amazing visit to the I Am the Light of the World Garden at Thanksgiving point with some friends. We went for the Tulip Festival, but the Garden was the highlight of the trip.
The Light of the World garden is a new two-and-a-half acre garden inside the Ashton Gardens with artwork and themed landscaping donated by the I Am the Light of the World Foundation. Created by Utah artist Angela Johnson, the garden includes a total of 15 scenes and 35 statues, with 14 scenes from the New Testament and one LDS Church-inspired scene depicting Joseph Smith’s First Vision. The sculpture garden offers guests a walk through the life and miracles of Jesus Christ and a space for quiet reflection.
These sculptures were incredible. A few months ago we had the creator come and speak with us and it was such an amazing story of their creation and the work she did. Being able to go and see the bronze statues and look at the detail and the expressions was amazing. I will definitely go again!
