Dorian and Haley at Home, Pawling, NY

Dorian’s current obsession is building a greenhouse off the back corner of her house in Pawling. The glorious slab is completed and now all that is left is to actually build the greenhouse. Small detail, really. (really?) She has a fantasy that her greenhouse will become the epicenter for her Womanswork business, leading to all kinds of creative projects including but not limited to: starting plants from seed for her new vegetable garden whose mission will be to contribute to the food pantry in Poughkeepsie as well as provide enough harvest to engage in preserving and bottling tomatoes, cukes, etc. for family and friends to enjoy year round; provide a testing ground for new perennials and annuals for my garden and for my clients’ gardens as my landscape design business gets off the ground (after I complete my certification program at The New York Botanical Garden); offer a backdrop for photography for my Womanswork catalog; a place for forcing bulbs in winter; a warm, humid retreat on cold winter days, etc.  Read about the greenhouse project on this blog.
