Are you interested in adding to the Water Bottle Garden? Great! Use recycled materials to create themes related to gardens, beauty in loss and water conflicts. I created a water jug and put on newspaper clippings and things that reminded me of my grandparents who passed away. Kim created a garden from newspaper and magazine clippings to decorate her water gallon to display during the show.

Bring your piece with you and remember to bring it home after the show.

My grandma, Marguerite wrote me a letter to share with my friends about Osteoporosis when she was suffering from it. In French her name means daisy.  In the wildflowers field is a place where there's beauty in loss.

I am making cards in honor of my grandma, writing poems to read and making art for In the Wild Flowers Field.
