No garden is too small - the more, the merrier!

Enjoy this week's featured gardeners/artists!

Claire Donnely | Gardener and Artist

My artwork is constantly evolving. I seek inspiration from the natural world,

the ebbs and flows of life, and our deepest desire for connection.

My art is a vehicle for change for myself, allowing me to create paintings

to communicate an experience or feeling. It is my hope that my artwork

can also potentially provide opportunity for change of perspective for the viewer.

Ellen Garvey | Artist and Gardener

I have been involved with crafts all my life, always having many projects

going to keep my hands busy. After decades of a career in high tech,

I came to the realization that I was no longer doing that due to the demands of work.

It had to change! So I signed up for a glassblowing class as a way to force myself to escape.

Glassblowing is an activity that requires one’s full attention so the escape plan worked.

I was hooked. I subsequently added glass fusing to my repertoire.

Megan Carvalho | Gardener

Come and enjoy my front lawn chaos garden

full of wild flowers, native perennials, and buzzing bees.
