Flower World
See a World in Bloom Along the Art Coast®
For decades, Cook Park’s gentle willow once offered shade and stillness—a natural gathering spot for anyone seeking a moment of peace. Its removal left an empty space that the community immediately felt. Flower World now brightens that very space, surrounding visitors with whimsical floral sculptures that transform the park into a dreamlike landscape that can be explored day or night.
This is creative placemaking at its best: using art and design to transform a public space into a dynamic and meaningful place where people can connect and feel inspired. By day, the installation is a vibrant garden of color and form; after dark, it glows with light, inviting visitors to stroll and enjoy its magic throughout the fall and winter months.
See Flower World on display October–April 2026 in Cook Park, Saugatuck.
