Starting May 15th the Wednesday market moves from the top lawn to the lower grounds with room to spread out and enjoy the shade of the Ancient Oaks of Poplar Grove. Come meet your butcher, your baker, your artisan maker, shop small and local and show your support for your neighbors! While you're visiting the market you'll be a short hop to the new Shops at Poplar Grove, home to Grumpy Grandpa's Coffee, A Sink Full of Flowers and the new PG Mercantile. Plan a whole morning to peruse the grounds at no charge and explore this 300 year old historic, 13 acre former peanut plantation. Get your history on by taking a guided Manor House tour ($15 per person for guided tours). Queen Esther's Teas will be moving into the lower floor of the manor so make sure you stop in for a cup! Due to overwhelming development on all sides The Stables (home of the PG rescue animals) will remain closed to the public until further notice as we work to ensure the safety and happiness of our four legged, furry and feathered friends.

From the Artist
“Pigment are the same color no matter how they are viewed, while structural color depends on the viewing angle and the result of selective reflection.”

As a mixed medium artist, my core spirit keeps me creating, especially with resin, acrylics and oil pigments. One of the wonderful things about living on the east coast is that there are so many pigments to draw from nature, from summer’s bright greens to vivid flowering flora in the Fall and Spring. However, I stay away from winter’s somber pigments of dull brown and grey!

That’s because bright pigments make me cheerful and are how I enjoy viewing the world. They remind me of the many wonderful people I have encountered throughout my life, and the magic of God’s creations. I would love for people to stop and take notice of the incredible natural and powerful pigments surrounding us on this globe we call home!
