Mary Schalk

Love the creative arts. Also, am always interested in developing new projects. Professional background in interior design, marketing and fundraising. I have been working on a series of gardens for the past 18 years. Perrenials, herbs, foundation plantings, topiaries and am venturing in to vegetables this year. Avid garden tourist - been to gardens in France, Italy, England, and Major gardens of the East Coast. Love to tour Gilded Era Gardens (Longwood, Hudson area). Have been working in interior design and apply same principles to gardens - but am challenged more by them as mother nature throws in glitches that is a constant learning curve.
