MY BLACK THUMB
I want to grow my own food. I WANT to, but when the day starts, I pull on my stilettos and head off to my air-conditioned office where all attempts at growing house plants have withered and died.
There are no secret overalls and garden clogs in my closet.
I don’t even have fruit trees in my yard. My husband and I are thinking of building a shipping container house; maybe I should look for property with fruit trees. Stilettos AND home-grown food. If you don’t have a green thumb, this Call will let you take inspiration from nature even if you didn’t grow it.
Check out this Call for Entries from Kentucky Art Speaks for the Botanical Art Show. The entry fee is as low as $15 for that one perfect piece, plus you could get end up as another future group or solo show! Take a look…
