The 60-acre estate of John and Mabel Ringling embraces a 30,000 square foot garden, along with museums housing the Ringling’s art collection and circus memorabilia. A feature of this garden is a stand of 13 historic Banyan trees, surrounding a bronze statue of a Grecian figure holding a vessel in its arms. The statue’s green patina, and the rich green color of the high grass, contrasts to the golden brown root structures of the surrounding Banyan trees. Together they create a feeling of tranquility that expresses the essence of the estate itself.
