Going Green Event on Sunday
-
- April
- 10
A shop called The Outside in Piermont is hosting a “Going Green” event on Sunday afternoon. The owners are Joe Serra and Bill Walsh.
My friend and colleague Mary Shustack says “It’s an old-fashioned shop with a focus on nature – they have all kinds of art and artwork – and a big garden section/greenhouse with space in the back for art gallery-receptions.”
I haven’t been yet, but Mary paid them a visit earlier this year for her Just Browsing blog. Here’s a link.
And here’s email on the Sunday event:

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
