A reminder (from the sign outside our NOW CLOSED studio), in a week where many people around the world will be looking for flowers (as a symbol of their love). If in SA, support your South Australian farmers, & make the world a little better…in many ways 🌱(always ask for arrangements too).
We believe Harvest Studio raised the bar locally (& more broadly in SA), in terms of what event design & floristry could look like, when holistic & coming from an Installation Art practice…our work was always site & context led, handmade & different every time. We still believe beauty, wonder & the re-enchantment of everyday life (through connection with the natural world) matters…❤️ This place is about the visual arts being of direct service to the world…
We (finally) also wanted to thank all our incredible flower growers (& properties we were able to forage from), for the last almost 9 years of sourcing of South Australian grown & seasonal botanical wonders✨ Truly, you are stars…& making the world a more beautiful place.
I also want to thank the many hard working staff & helpers who have supported Harvest Studio on all our projects, large & small, over the years. Event design, Installation art & Floristry, ask a lot of everyone involved, continuously & on many levels… 🙏 (just ask my daughters…& thank Goodness for family!)❤️
Please follow on Insta or Glory McLaren Vale on FB, to keep up with what happens next in our chapel (artist in residence project…& maybe some dancing!), & The Botanical Cemetery. Community gardening in The Culture Garden is Wednesdays during school terms. All welcome.
Stay tuned for more public artworks, heritage offerings & cultural events; all connecting people with the nature of this place, The Vale (through all its waves of settlement).✨Glory is a cultural & ecological regeneration project, with its development focused across the next 7 years, funded by the sale of the 30 remaining perpetual burial plots. Please be in touch to secure one for yourself (or your family) & best support the placemaking work we are undertaking.🌿
