Joan’s Garden

Not quite a White House garden, but some italian parsley, collards and lettuce are now planted in this University City backyard, replacing the rocks, dandelions and crab grass. Now, if we don’t get as much rain as we did last year, we may get some things to eat.

500 Billion Plastic Bags

500 Billion Plastic Bags, is the number consumed annually, which is about a million a minute. This art video by Dickson Beall has been described as thoughtful, moving, disturbing, disgusting; it is full of reality and beauty, emptiness and fullness.

Music is by Rachmaninoff and performed on the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica organ by Charles Callahan.

The video opened March 16, 2007, at the Bruno David Gallery in Grand Center, St. Louis, Missouri.

Duration: 3:08

Cherry Blossom Time at the Missouri Botanical Garden

The spectacular orchid show at the Missouri Botanical Garden closed March 16th after a six week run. Now, through April, it’s Cherry Blossom Time at the garden, which is a favorite place for many St. Louisans. One of the things we’ll be watching for this spring are their excellent garden training programs, but get on board, those classes may fill up early. With Michelle Obama putting in a garden on the south lawn of the White House, we can expect that gardening may become the next big thing.
