Botanical Blitz January 21 – March 7, 2020 Reception: Sat., Jan. 25 from 3-5pm During the most brutally cold months of winter, the SPA gallery will turn into a botanical refuge with paintings and drawings, sculptural works and installations that depict the plant, insect and animal worlds -- flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees, soil, various pollinators, and maybe that rascal of a wood chuck who raided your garden -- a lavish display of color and an exhibit that celebrates the senses! Artist Talk: It Hurts So Much: Adaptive Gardening with Layne Tharp Sat., Feb. 1 from 2:30 – 4PM Some of us have no choice, due to aging or disability, and others only want to garden smarter. Learn strategies to improve your experience through physical conditioning, garden design, and adaptive tools. (Be sure to come early to view the main floor gallery exhibit, “Botanical Blitz.”) Free Inspiration! Layne Tharp became a professional gardener and garden designer in her mid-40’s having never been involved in physical labor. Twenty years later, she has retired from her gardening business and has taken on the new challenges of vegetable gardening. Would you like to receive our email updates or do you have questions?
