Tree of life exhibit — Attraction in Lehi

We loved our experience at the Tree of Life exhibit! One of the things we appreciated was the absence of plaques, and I know I’m maybe not in the general consensus here, but it really encourages us to slow down reflect and interpret the artist’s vision on our own (I am familiar with the scriptural vision which aided in this.

In contrast, I love the "Light of the World" section of the gardens... it is a beautiful invitation to learn about Christ. They could have done such a good job with a story as beautiful as the Tree of Life, but I imagine that the LDS Credit Union, which sponsored this section of the garden, had a lot of say in the final product... and needless to say, they...
