News release from Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation:<\/p>\n

Megalflora Sculpture Unveiled at Botanical Conservatory<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (September 15, 2021) \u2013 The Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department officially unveiled a new landmark in downtown Fort Wayne on September 15. The Megaflora sculpture is located outside the entrance of the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory and was created by area sculptor Cary Shafer.<\/p>\n

The 36-foot-tall sculpture consists of a mix of limestone and steel, and features a steel ornament abstraction of a plant stamen, framed by two large limestone blades. It was carved from 24 blocks of Indiana limestone and weighs nearly 20,000 pounds. It was funded in part by the Journal Gazette Foundation and the Capital Improvement Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great pleasure to be able to put my skills and passion to use on such an iconic sculpture, at such an iconic downtown location,\u201d said Shafer.<\/p>\n

Megaflora is part of the Botanical Conservatory\u2019s mission to educate and preserve as the sculpture\u2019s design attracts attention to a plant\u2019s smallest detail and magnifies it to a monumental scale. In addition, Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation worked closely with the Public Art Commission to create a new public art showpiece in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we are adding a new dimension to the public art scene in downtown Fort Wayne, here at the Botanical Conservatory,\u201d said Steve McDaniel, Parks and Recreation Director. \u201cThis sculpture promises to become a new landmark destination here at the corner of Jefferson and Calhoun.\u201d<\/p>\n
