Artiflora's Home in Granville

Evelyn's Home, too

I live with my husband, Tod, our dogs, Hank and Ozzie, five spunky cats; Bob, an Alpine goat and a big white Percheron horse named Toby. Here's a quick look at the environment that, in no small measure, provides the possibilities of my creativity with flowers.

My design space

The northwest room of this 1890 house is my studio and my office. In this space in my house, I live out my two dreams: to enhance the beauty of flowers and to tell the stories of people through my writing. I am very lucky.

The biggest snow in a decade

Ozzie, a Papillon, and Hank, a mixed breed, don't know what to make of the 14" of snow we experienced in mid March. It was the largest snow I can remember in many year. Columbus, the capital city about 30 miles from Granville, received 20", a record amount.

A Trip to New York

Over Spring Break, my daughter, Erika, and I went to New York where I stood in awe in front of the room-size "Water Lilies" by Monet at the MOMA. We also visited the flower market area in Chelsea, a little touch of the Netherlands, all on one big street.
