Reimagining May Sarton's house (and garden) by the sea, w/artist Carly Glovinski

This week on Cultivating Place, we hear the magical story of how two gardeners, separated by time, came together to grow all of our imaginations.

May Sarton was a 20th—century writer known for her poetry, novels, and personal journals illuminating the landscape of the human heart and mind.

She was also a lifelong and avid gardener. She spent the last 22 years of her life on the coast of Maine in a house and garden called Wild Knoll, now a part of the Surf Point Artist In Residence Program.

Carly Glovinski is an artist working in a wide array of mediums that balance between craft, utility, and art. 

She joins us today to tell the story of how she helped reimagine May Sarton’s former house site as a garden and to re-establish Sartons’s extant gardens using  Sarton’s well-known journal “The House by the Sea” as her guide.

It's an inspiring story of how we all existentially garden with one another in so many ways, entwined across time and space, and how we garden the past, present, and future simultaneously. Join us!
