Meet Sally Diggory, Master Gardener-Sculptor

Sat. May 7th, don’t miss Sally Diggory’s lovely eclectic garden and backyard cottage-studio, located in down town Aromas. Let the old fashioned ambiance draw you in, smell the sweet Jasmine and enjoy the lush green flowering garden. Follow the path to the citrus garden along the lime-hedge, past the gorilla hiding behind the honey bush, to the back lawn by the fruit trees and vegetables. That’s where you’ll find Sally’s cottage-studio. This is not an ordinary cottage and Sally is not an ordinary woman. She is the co-founder of the Garden Tour, a master gardener and an artist who creates fantastic ceramic sculptures and arranges them as accents throughout her garden. You will see dozens of life-size heads of well known people and unknown characters, plus colorful fish and birds. The sculptures are glazed and fired. She usually plants a succulent, fern or flower in the top of their heads, substituting as hair. She will be demonstrating her sculpting techniques’ and I will be signing my mystery novel, Secure the Ranch, in Sally’s backyard, May 7th, 10:00 to 4:00. Hope to see you there…………….by Joyce Oroz
