Monthly Meeting

Hear Cheryl’s journey through her daughter Faith’s illness told through stories that take

place in the garden. Based on her private memoir, this presentation will give you a sudden

urge to plant more perennials, dig in the dirt, and laugh at any circumstance thrown your

way. You will also get a sneak peek at the fairy garden Faith and I have created to provide a

happy home for these magical creatures we have become so fond of. This is not a sulky

story, not a woe is me story, a religious story or even a sad story. This is a story of growing,

of hope, of laughter, of gardening, of Faith.

Creator and author of the blog and website Garden in the Burrow Cheryl is Master

Gardener. She is a licensed adult educator who follows the science, reading constantly

and taking classes to stay current with the latest in plant research, new plant introductions

and design trends. Cheryl is a gardener who follows the motto “Pretty it up!” and strives to

have beautiful pest free gardens on her 1 acre plot in central Massachusetts where she

grows close to 100 clematis species and hybrids, dozens upon dozens of ornamental vines,

hundreds upon hundreds of perennials , and a large variety of both deciduous and

coniferous trees and shrubs. Cheryl is a mom of four, lover of corgi dogs, avid reader, and

knitter, but mostly and whenever possible, a gardener.
