Jill Nooney, the creator of Bedrock Gardens, will talk about the 40-year journey she and her co-creator husband, Bob Munger, have taken to turn their 30-acre private sanctuary in Lee NH into a public garden, an oasis of horticulture, art and inspiration for the whole community.
Jill keeps herself amused with her many interests, including a practice as a clinical social worker; a second business of Fine Garden Art, which she founded and co-runs; designing and fabricating sculpture; wifehood; mothering; and, most recently, the cello. She has written articles, been featured in numerous magazines, lectured on garden art, and designed award-winning displays at the New England Flower Show. She lives with her husband in Lee NH.
