"Garden of Learning" is a kinetic sculpture by Calgary sculptor Katie Ohe. It's on the University of Calgary campus, on the west side of the Administration building. Viewers can interact with the sculpture by spinning each of the three elements of the sculpture. Some take a fair push, while others move easily.

This sculpture was commissioned by Robin and Fred Terentiuk, with support from the University of Calgary. It was unveiled in 1996.

Katie Ohe has another very popular kinetic sculpture, "Zipper" (1975), located in the lobby area of the university's Science Theatres building.
