About "All Boats Bloom"

"All Boats Bloom" by Vy Ngo is one of nine temporary art installations on the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail as part of TEMPO on the Trail 2026. The piece explores community, migration, and our shared connection to nature. Over the course of a year, the installation evolves through gardening, performances, and gatherings that activate the space. Together, these moments invite reflection on unity, diversity, and our collective responsibility to ensure all communities thrive and bloom.
