the placing of the plants · 7 JUNE 2008
My sister Peggy and I placed the tomato plants that symbolize ourselves and our siblings upon a paper framework that represented our mother’s lifelong mental illness of major depression.




blessing of the garden · 7 JUNE 2008
I smudged sage in this blessing of the garden. Sage is used to remove negative energy and to provide a fresh start.

A special thanks goes out to Tom Sarver for documenting the opening of the garden and for providing video footage of the event.
