My name is Rebecca Shelly and I have been creating artwork about Victory Gardening. One of these can be found in the back of Edible Portland Magazine. I will also  have a booth at the Portland Saturday Farmer's Market for their Earth Day festival on Saturday April 18th. I will have contemporary Victory Garden posters and talk with people about seed starting techniques. 

I grew up with parents who were avid organic gardeners. The gardening bug did not hit me till recently and now I have a roomful of vegetable starts that I am growing to give away for my MFA thesis show next month. The show is called, Vanishing Varieties and it is about my father's garden journals and the varieties that he chose to grow for us. The opening reception will be May 2, from 6-9 in the Autzen Gallery of Neuberger Hall at Portland State University. 

I am giving away vegetable starts and seed packets for this show to contribute to the excitement that is happening with gardening. 

For more info, please check out my blog, www.localvictory.blogspot.com. 

I would love to get pictures of people's gardens for further inspiration with contemporary garden posters. 

Thanks, and happy gardening,

-Rebecca
