  1. So, this isn't specifically #SolarPunkSunday-related, but it is #Gardening related. Many folks might know #GeorgeHarrison from his music, but did you know he was an avid #Gardener. (I did.) Harrison spent many hours working on his garden, finding inspiration, hanging out with his friends. He understood how being in #Nature restores the soul! If you're in the area, check it out!

    #SarasotaNY: George Harrison: A Gardenerโ€™s Life

    Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series
    On view February 9 โ€“ June 29, 2025
    Downtown Sarasota campus
    Tropical Conservatory, Gardens, The Museum of Botany & the Arts

    "Georgeโ€™s love of gardening was an integral part of his identity. In an interview in Rolling Stone magazine in 1979, the renowned singer-songwriter described himself as 'just a gardener.' His strong association with gardening was further illustrated in his 1980 autobiography, I Me Mine, dedicated 'to gardeners everywhere.'

    "In 1970, not long after The Beatles disbanded, the then 27-year-old George purchased the estate of Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames, a small town in the county of Oxfordshire, England. Built by an eccentric lawyer named Sir Frank Crisp in 1889, this once grand Victorian mansion with spectacular gardens had fallen into disrepair. With the help of his wife, Olivia Harrison, George was able to revitalize the neglected property, consisting of the mansion, lodges, and 32 acres of grounds. It was in this process that Georgeโ€™s love of gardening began to flower.

    "Georgeโ€™s free approach to gardening combined creativity, spontaneity, whimsy, humor, and joy. This approach has inspired the exhibition at Selby Gardens, which combines a dynamic display of objects and ephemera in the Museum of Botany & the Arts with stunning horticultural vignettes in the Tropical Conservatory and throughout the gardens of the 15-acre Downtown Sarasota campus. Featured throughout the exhibition are a selection of Georgeโ€™s music and lyrics, as well as excerpts from Came the Lightening, a book of poems by Olivia Harrison dedicated to George and reflecting on their time together. The resulting multi-sensory experience highlights Georgeโ€™s connection to nature and celebrates his life and legacy through the power of plants."
