Art & Bloom 2025

The Concord Garden Club would like to thank its participants, partners and sponsors for a wonderful Art & Bloom exhibit at the Kimball Jenkins Estate January 23-25, 2025. Our floral interpretations of works of art from the members of the Women’s Caucus for Art, NH Chapter put smiles on the faces of close to 900 visitors.

​

We are pleased to announce the winners (Garden Club members and community members) of our People’s Choice awards. Garden Club member Robyn Cotton won for her interpretation of “Heaven North” by Nicki French. Using mostly foraged and dried botanicals, Robyn’s piece in soft pastel colors reflected the beautiful symmetry and serenity of the winter sunrise created by the artist. Her botanical recreation of a Russian Wheat Sheaf Tiara (headdress worn by Russian peasants and royalty alike for special occasions) completed the evocation of a peaceful winter morning. Community member Lorrie Carey won for her interpretation of Robin Cornwell’s felted textile work, “At the End of the Day”. With her botanicals she picked up the varied colors of the sunset over the trees and hills, the brilliant accents of the flowers in the foreground, and the colors of the quilted frame.

 

We thank our collaborators, Kimball Jenkins Estate and the Women’s Caucus for Art, and all our sponsors. These include Cobblestone Design, Merrimack County Savings Bank, Ruedig Realty, Sal’s Pizza, Goldsmith Gallery, McLane Middleton, Gibson’s Bookstore, Gondwana & Divine Clothing Co., Susanne Smith-Meyer Landscape Architect, Claude Gentilhomme Architect, Osborne’s Farm and Garden Center, as well as in-kind giving by Polaris Direct and Concord Hospital.
