In Mary's Garden
In Mary's Garden | Tina Kugler, Carson Kugler
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
While the rest of her classmates were making pastries in cooking classes, Mary Nohl was making art—anything she fancied out of anything she could find. Inspiration struck Mary even when she wasn’t looking for it. Mary used common objects to make uncommon art. And one day, her garden was a gallery. Mary Nohl passed away in 2001 at the age of eighty-seven. Her famous garden gallery is located in the front yard of her Fox Point, Wisconsin, home to this day.

"One spring morning, Sassafras and Basil discovered a marvelous creature washed up on the sand. Only, it was just a little piece of him. But Mary understood." This is a really sweet story about the artist Mary Nohl at her family cottage in Lake Michigan and how her sculptures were inspired by things she found on the beach nearby. It shows her growing older and collecting materials with her dogs, and at the end there's a little bio of Nohl's life.
