Garden of Earthy Delights

Marcia Donahue is a hybridizer, but not in the common horticultural sense, as she has successfully blended her two worlds – as an artist and as a gardener – to create an elaborate tapestry of colour, texture, and patterns in the backyard of her Berkeley, California home. As a horticultural thrill-seeker, her garden is a whimsical and fantastical one – that not only serves as her personal paradise, but also as her art medium as she believes that “gardening is kinetic sculpture, because it doesn’t hold still, it is always transforming itself”.
