Jim Henson Memorial
THE JIM HENSON STATUE AND MEMORIAL GARDEN at the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland
The memorial features a bronze statue of Kermit the Frog perched on a red granite bench with his creator, Maryland alumnus Jim Henson, Class of 1960. The garden layout is a series of semi-circular beds, with curving hedges of red-flowering shrub roses, boxwoods, and pink-flowering variegated weigela. Pink-flowered crape myrtles and redbuds provide shade, along with two towering sycamore trees. Jim Henson and his Muppets were known the world over for their work in television with Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and in six movies starring the Muppets and two fantasy pieces, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.
