'Art in the Garden' at North Creek

Yesterday I attended North Creek's Open House. This year's theme was 'Art in the Garden.'  Needless to say it was gorgeous! Everywhere you turned there was a beautiful piece of artwork or an amazing plant that I had to immediately own. (OH...and a surprise SCARECROW at the end of the post...can you guess who it is?)

This is one time when words just will not do the event justice...so I went prepared to take pictures. Take a look for yourself. I've listed the artists below that displayed their incredible talent. Check out their websites...you won't be disappointed.

• Dan Benarcik, Susan Benarcik, Bill Johnson, Rhoda Kahler, Jan Kirsh, Stan Smokler, Marcia Tate, Harriet Wentz and Lenny Wilson.

I came across this Scarecrow...and then I took a closer look!!!! WHO IS THAT???

WOW....it is Steve Castorani's face on that Scarecrow!

Wind Through the Trees

What a fabulous day we all had last Friday visiting Philadelphia area gardens during the GWA Regional II Meeting. I think the weather gods were on our side since the day was just perfect for exploring gardens!

Our last stop of the day was Jenkins Arboretum and Gardens in Devon, PA. This undiscovered horticultural gem had over 65 amazing sculptures featuring sound and motion in a 15 acre setting. The sculptures were so cool that I decided to create a short video of this one-of-kind exhibit.

The exhibit runs through June 2011, so be sure to put it on your calendar if you're in the area!
