Flora attracts fauna
The quiet beauty and colors of nature will combine with art this weekend during the Albert Lea Art Center’s annual Art & Garden Tour.
Six gardens in Albert Lea and Hollandale will be opened to the public. Each garden will also feature at least one artist with work on display.
“So often people think of art as something that you paint and put on the wall,” said Donna Widenhoefer, Art & Garden Tour coordinator. “But art can be found in many places. As gardeners work in their flower beds, it’s art too. Even though they say they aren’t artists, they are.”
For the tour, people purchase their tickets ahead of time and then travel from one garden to the next at their own pace.
The following is a brief description of each of the gardens on the tour, along with the artists who will be displaying their work at each:
• Scott and Ann Goodmanson, 1333 Crestview Road, Albert Lea
Redone in 2009, the Goodmansons’ front gardens feature a series of white hydrangeas, daylilies, cone flowers and ligularia, among others.
In the backyard, a white fence frames a gently curving garden that features a Japanese lilac, dwarf goat’s bear, roses, hostas and daylilies. A white clematis climbs a metal arbor.
Ann Goodmanson said the gardens have been a work in progress over the years, allowing her to practice her creativity.
“Just like a paintbrush, you can change or move things around,” she said.
The artist featured at this garden will be Albert Lea resident Laura Lunde, who creates jewelry and crochet work.
Lunde’s love of art began with classes in elementary school and continued through high school and college.
She works as branch manager for Manpower in Owatonna and Albert Lea.
• Steven and Deanne Adams, 2141 N. Bridge Ave.
Owning their house for 38 years, the Adams have had years of time to grow and develop their gardens and care for hundreds of thriving plants in their fenced large backyard.
Their gardens include about 30 varieties of hastas, along with cactus gardens, water gardens and a gnome village.
In addition, there are Asian lilies, daylilies, bird baths, feeding stations, solar lights, among others, including a mix of sun-love plants and shade plants.
Featured at this garden will be artists Paul Gray, Rita Aumdson and Linda Esse of PRL-Yard Art.
The women use recycled dishes and kitchenware to create fun garden art.
