Join us Thursdays in June for a series of conversations and presentations with local luminaries. During each week we will feature a different expert -- a gardener, a filmmaker, a poet, and a musician -- to show us their work and share stories of their craft in the North Barn.
June 4 | Ecological Resilience Talk and Pop-up Plant Sale with Gardener and Nursery Owner Helen O’Donnell
Helen O’Donnell is a professional gardener, designer, and grower. She owns and manages the Bunker Farm in Dummerston, Vermont, along with her husband, sister, and brother-in-law. She manages Bunker Farm Plants, a specialty plant nursery, as part of the farm operation, offering unusual annuals and perennials, natives and non-natives, primarily grown from seed. In her gardening business, Helen designs, installs and maintains gardens for private clients, works as a consultant, writes, and lectures. Helen believes that design, maintenance, and growing are symbiotic practices and that a garden is an ever changing, interspecies collaboration. She loves plants — especially the unkempt wild ones — and is a painter and printmaker who spends time each winter making art.
