Wilmington, Delaware -- Wilmington, Delaware native Lenny Wilson is equal parts artist and horticulturalist. And for decades, he has cobbled together his passion for nature and talents for shoemaking into an eye-catching line of floral footwear: botanical shoes.

But they're not for feet! These sculptures are made from all the parts of exotic and native plants handcrafted by Lenny and on display now in Chanticleer Garden in Wayne, PA.
