At the intersection of fashion and nature lies… shoes!  These creations, designed by local artist, shoemaker, and horticulturist, Lenny Wilson, use elements from local gardens to create these cobbler masterpieces. Magnolia leaves, Virginia creeper vine, and Clematis seed heads are some of the foraged finds used to make this footwear which might have paired beautifully with Ann Lowe’s floral-inspired work.
