Artists in the Garden 2011

Every year the City holds a summer art event fundraiser when various private gardens are opened to the public. Local artists and musicians then provide interesting exhibits, demonstrations and entertainment at each venue. This year we had the opportunity to try wooden block printing (above) and learned how to do hand weaving. We purchased some nice pottery, jewellry and an original framed photograph. We played bocce in one garden and dodged the resident geese and ducks in another. We had such a good time and even managed to avoid the flash thunderstorm with a well timed lunch at a favourite restaurant.
