This interesting documentary follows Jordyn Melino, associate director of exhibits, and a team from Phipps on a behind-the-scenes journey beginning with the the first drawings of the show through installation. In between we also learn a little bit of the fascinating history of Phipps.

The Holiday Magic! Winter Flower Show and Light Garden at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens runs through Jan. 12, 2020.
