This Father's Day weekend, we'll gather on the front lawn — bold blooms and hardy greens, the kind that feel right at home in a den or on a deck. It's also graduation season, so we'll have flowers suited to both: a gift for the one who taught you, and a bouquet for the one just beginning

Joining us is local watercolorist Lois Bender, whose paintings spill with vivid color — gardens and blooms rendered in their fullest, most vibrant form. Stop by to see her work among the flowers.
