Cup.runneth.o'er. (on the heels of articulating my fatigue with the dominant visual language of instagram (à la Christopher Lloyd's distaste for "good taste"), I'm thinking about offering up more of life's contours & textures (nary a rose tinted lens to describe a gardener? or work clothing?). Is instagram more than pageantry? Ought it be? #thesearethedaysofourlives)
A tiny PSA from two of the tiniest dogs in the tiniest state's tiniest town: in keeping with the tenor of 20th century lyfe (pre-internets), you may have missed word that Sakonnet Garden is opening doors Saturday one last time this year in conjunction with their Symposium, "elastic gardening-the art of reinvention" (talks from writer/nurseryman/gardener, Jonny Bruce (refreshingly, not on Instagram), scultptor/floral designer @emilythompsonflowers, & yours truly). I am told they are able to squeeze in a few more people for talks, but the garden is open 12-6 Saturday & we (@issima__ ) will be flogging late season flowering plants at our last plant sale of the year. Opportunities like this rarely come up, especially this time of year, so I'd hate for you all to miss the opportunity if you're up for the travel...
There's no place like home
Provocative people chasing an ephemeral garden of ideals, aims (frustrations, paradoxes)...leaving the UK with more questions & even more gratitude for a life in the garden...
Wild ideas and a life spent chasing it all... waking life dreams on the eve of the Beth Chatto Symposium.
Hope to pay forward the recommendation of this charming place. A truly sensory experience & a lesson in how principled approaches ought not exclude (devalue?) the role of poetic atmosphere. Delighted by the contrast of optimism & stoic decrepitude.
