PUBLIC INVITED
TO ART IN THE GARDEN
AT LENDONWOOD MAY 7
Springtime blooms will offer a colorful backdrop for arts and crafts at the 2022 Art in the Garden show on Saturday, May 7, at Lendonwood Gardens in Grove. The public is invited to enjoy arts and crafts for display and sale at the botanical garden located at 1308 Har-Ber Road.
Admission is free for this special event at Lendonwood. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., booths throughout the garden will display a wide variety of works for sale by the artists, ranging from hand-made jewelry to pottery to quilts to paintings. Artists will include professionals as well as young students and accomplished craftsmen.
Refreshments also will be available for purchase from Santa’s Old Broads, a service organization in the Grove area. Proceeds from the refreshment booth will be used to help buy Christmas gifts for underprivileged children.
“We are delighted to feature the works of many talented artists and artisans in our area,” said Stan Starts, Lendonwood board member who is coordinating the event. “It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the arts and a beautiful garden at the same time.”
Currently, Lendonwood is abloom with azaleas, rhododendrons, peonies, dogwoods and more. Colorful Japanese maples line the pathways, along with hostas, viburnums and other plants.
Lendonwood is open year-round during daylight hours. The eight-acre garden is operated by a local board of directors with the help of volunteers.
LENDONWOOD TO HOST
NATIONALLY KNOWN
STORYTELLERS MAY 14
Lendonwood Gardens will host a storytellers “concert” on Saturday, May 14, featuring four nationally recognized storytellers from the regional Territory Tellers organization. The event, which starts at 2 p.m. in the garden’s Japanese Pavilion, will be free and open to the public. Donations are always appreciated.
Organized by Chester Weems of Yukon, Oklahoma, the concert will feature four storytellers with diverse backgrounds and oral traditions. In addition to serving as master of ceremonies, Weems himself will share some family stories, although he says, “My stories got a little better when I did not always let the truth get in the way!”
Weems noted that nationally known storyteller Fran Stallings, of Bartlesville, will bring a unique set of stories for the Lendonwood event. Stallings has a special collection of folktales from Japan, learned during residencies there and on American tours with traditional Japanese folk-teller Hiroko Fujita. She grew up in a traditional storytelling family and has been a traveling storyteller since 1982.
Eldrena “Bluecorn” Douma, from the Texas Panhandle area, will share tales from her youth in New Mexico and Arizona among her Pueblo tribes of the Laguna, Tewa and Hopi. A former public-school teacher, Douma has been telling stories and attending storytelling festivals and conferences since 1992.
Rounding out the group will be Valerie Kimble, a retired children’s librarian from Norman. She has been telling stories to audiences of all ages for more than 40 years. At Lendonwood, she will be telling the “Peddler’s Dream,” an Irish version of the story called “Peddler of Swaffham.”
Weems said all the storytellers are looking forward to visiting the Grand Lake area and Lendonwood Gardens. “When I visited the garden last year, I immediately saw it as a wonderful venue for telling stories,” he said. “The open-air Japanese Pavilion, surrounded by beautiful plants and trees, just seemed the perfect spot for telling a few tales.”
He noted that while the event is “family-friendly, it will be geared primarily for older teens and adults.”
Weems serves as president of the Territory Tellers, an organization of professional and amateur storytellers in Oklahoma and surrounding region. Organized in the early 1980s, the group offers opportunities to learn the art of storytelling as well as to host storytelling concerts and events.
