Meet the Business Owner: Linda C.
I come from generations of gardeners but never appreciated it until I met my former husband while at Bentley for accounting. I joke that he brought me down to earth and I have yet to come out of it. I've always loved nature, camping, hiking, gardening, visiting botanical gardens and historic places. Design comes naturally and with over 30 years of experience supported by certification and education. Now that my children are grown I can see my influence on them. My son a recent graduate of VT holds a BS in Biology carries a line of gifts at the gallery: organic growing kits, hydroponic fish tank gardens and solar products. My daughter, BFA from MassArt, works for a non-profit that collects trash off the beaches to create sculptures for public awareness of ocean debris. Her own art and sculptures is available for purchase. The three of us help in the gallery. We are creative nature lovers and try our best to reduce our carbon footprint.
