mid-winter mosaic

This work has great potential for flexibility, for adding panels over time, as well as changing out the garden as the community sees fit. It can have trellises or not have trellises. It can grow food or ornamental native plants. 10 panels more were made through this winter, and were installed to meet our grant deadline. They are beautiful, and leave an open composition for additions later; a planter, a painting, more panels.

One concern as we experiment with a rain garden is the salt runoff from the parking lot above, given the number of icy, snowy days we’ve had. We’ll see how the plants weather the winter. We will let you know about the celebration for the official spring opening. It may be part of a big arts celebration with Art Hop and some other fun and ultra-local events. We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, stay warm!
