"This walking trail culminates in the Museum Gardens where York’s botanical gardens have been transformed by Trophic Cascade’s trio of Jony Easterby, Ulf Pederson and Mark Anderson into Illuminati Botanica, the festival’s one installation with an admission charge. Anderson’s Kinetic Flowers, spinning crazily in the night, is a particular joy." York Press.
