We've updated the Photo Gallery

GALLERY SHOW

Michel’s first gallery show went well.

FireHouse 13, an innovative Providence, RI gallery dedicated to sheltering exciting, innovative and contemporary creative works, presented an exhibition of photographs of  local author and horticulturalist, Michel Marcellot, as part of its Provflux V Exhibition, August 7 -11. Marcellot’s contribution was entitled “Sacred Gardens-How Ordinary Gardeners Create Places of Peace and Sanctuary”.

On Saturday, August 9 at 3:30 Michel shared stories and pictures from his first  book, Sacred Gardens, featuring  the ordinary gardeners who created their own places of peace and sanctuary. Sarah Zurier gave a short talk and tour of her installation Green Zone- a city veggie garden in tire tubes at 3:00 pm.  FireHouse 13 is located off Broad Street in Providence behind the McDonald’s Restaurant.  Go to www.firehouse13.org. for directions.   

  Michel Marcellot (www.michelmarcellot.com) is a plantsman/artist/author who, with his wife Judy, began Seven Arrows Farm in 1980. Their intent was, and continues to be, to create a public garden, a Peace Garden, which is always open for strolling through, sitting, relaxing, and contemplation. As plant propagators and collectors, they operate a collector plant nursery Michel has given hundreds of lectures, workshops and classes on a wide range of horticultural and landscape design related topics, and has appeared on television.  Pictures of his gardens have appeared in books, magazines, newspapers and TV, and have won both local and national awards. Michel studied at the Universite of Grenoble, France; Skidmore College, and the RI School of Design.

BACKYARD SUSTAINABILITY GARDENS

We’re still putting them in.  Got lots of great organic compost and loam mix and we’re finding folks are both planting for a winter green and lettuce crop, and wanting to get a head start for next spring.  Check out this link for more information and prices.  Save money, help the planet, grow your own.

OTHER STUFF

Yoga classes are offered here on a regular basis (although not in August).  Some other folks are planning on doing some workshops and events (several handmade beauty product classes and other activities open to the public.) Another irregular email coming your way in September. Until then,

Peace.  Shalom.  Salaam
