Mill Creek MetroParks presents Nature: Real and Imagined featuring artist Malorie Martin. The exhibit features printmaking that explores the true-to-life forms of flora and fauna, in contrast to their artistic, or imagined renderings. By utilizing cyanotype, a photo-chemical printmaking process, Martin first captures the silhouette of different flora onto paper and fabric then block prints hand carved images of the same plants or corresponding insects. “These works seek to highlight the differences between what we see and what we create when working from nature, in a bright and whimsical way,” says artist Malorie Martin.
This free exhibit is on display April 2 –July 3, 2023, in the Weller Gallery located inside the Davis Center at Fellows Riverside Gardens, during normal operating hours of Tuesdays – Sundays, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., closed Mondays. A Meet the Artist session will take place on Sunday, April 2, 2023 from 2 – 4 p.m. in the Weller Gallery at Fellows Riverside Gardens.

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about getting your gardens ready for the season.
Brian Keith, operation supervisor at Fellows Riverside Gardens, said now is a good time to begin prepping your outdoor areas. This includes cleaning up garden beds, leaves, sticks and any debris that’s been sitting over winter.
It’s also a good time to start preparing and decompacting soil and mixing in compost, but certain kinds may be better than others.
“Organic compost. A lot of suppliers around here carry what’s called leaf compost, stuff like that. That’s one of the best things you can till into your soil, especially if you are doing a vegetable garden,” Keith said.
He says it’s still too cold to plant outside, but some vegetables can be planted indoors now and transplanted later.
