Birch Tree Study

I spent this past weekend glued to my computer taking in the presentations and activities of the 2021 PBS Wisconsin Landscape and Garden Expo. Although it would have been so much more fun to be at a civic center surrounded by the sounds and aroma of garden expo, this was the next best thing! The content of the presentations was excellent with the added interactive bonus of being able to ask questions. It was great time of learning from other WI gardeners including an Indigenous Agri-Culture org dedicated to reviving native food culture; the Victory Garden project bringing healthy food and garden practices to a neighborhood in Milwaukee; restoration of a prairie; and the logistics of how to build a rain garden. I’ve got my plans organized and ready for Spring - never mind, that we still have the fickleness of weather in March and April to go through!

This week’s painting, “Birches in Sunlight,” 11” x 15” on 300 lb. watercolor painting, captures a grove of birch trees in the early morning light of Spring.
