This is a lovely garden but I can’t help but wonder if these were Joseph Smith’s plural wives. Nauvoo is where he received revelation that he was to take more wives.

The garden is full of thirteen sculptures about women and different phases in life. My wife, kids, and I really enjoyed coming after hours when there were less people and we could walk amongst the sculptures.

This garden is one of the most beautiful tributes to women. The bronze statues depict the many levels that women play in our lives. The floral beds accent each display magnificent you.
