The Rhythms of Stone
Graceful garden art contributes immeasurably to the beauty of the landscape. In this three-day workshop, award-winning sculptor, DJ Garrity leads a fascinating exploration of the creative energies awakened through the ageless process of stone sculpture. The artist will guide students through the process of creating a unique garden sculpture from native basalt. The finished work is appropriate for home or garden, and the workshop is designed both for the novice and students with previous experience. The course is accredited by Augustana College of South Dakota.

Bella Madrona Garden Tour
A perfect Father’s Day gift! Re-charge your garden design batteries by seeing this hip garden. The five-acre landscape is chock full of whimsical and sophisticated artistic flourishes. From the structure and texture of exotic perennial beds to the woodsy atmosphere of the native groves (where you almost expect to see a nymph or two!), its magical air is the result of 25 years of green thumb perspiration and inspiration. You'll have a delightful time exploring its nooks and crannies while enjoying wine and refreshments. Rain or shine, Bella Madrona shows a gracious face in spring that's a must-see.
