This week, I’m very excited to be able to bring you both Anne and her garden!
In this conversation, Anne shares her own personal story about how she came to know and love the plant world and how it inspires her work daily.
Plus, Anne takes us on a special tour of her colorful, incredibly charming garden. Along the way, you’ll get to see some of Anne’s beautiful art and hear interesting stories about the flowers that grow there, including her very ‘naughty’ apple trees!
I know you are going to love getting to know Anne and her beautiful summer garden—which is so clearly a reflection of her own generous and creative spirit.
In this interview you will learn about:
Where and when Anne’s passion for plants and flowers first developed
The imaginative childhood story behind her blog’s name, My Giant Strawberry
How Anne found the courage to pursue her creative dreams as an adult
How Anne’s garden might describe her and her creative spirit
What kind of book her garden would be if we tried to find it in the library
the muse that inspires Anne’s life and work
The stories behind many of the interesting, heirloom flowers and plants growing in Anne’s garden
Anne’s “naughty” apple trees!
