Alchemical Garden will be a richly layered evolving art and horticulture experience accessible on many different levels to the public. Located on a 155′x25′ site at the southern end of the Clipper City Rail Trail, the Garden will include pathways, sculptural seating areas and art, living pavilions, archways and furniture and planting areas. It will function as a living laboratory of soil remediation, permaculture and hyper-accumulation. It will also be an exceptional educational opportunity, a beautiful public destination and an interdisciplinary venue promoting a variety of artistic projects.

GAL is finishing up phase 1 of the New Eden Collaborative Sustainable Community Mural at First Parish Church in Newbury, MA. The Green Artists League asked members of the New Eden Collaborative for their vision of a sustainable community. Their aspirations were used as the inspiration for this 9’ x 60′ mural in the entrance hallway to Holtan Hall at First Parish Church. Come by on Fridays from 10AM-3PM to talk with the GALs as they work on the mural and let’s brainstorm what we can do for a sustainable future. This mural is partially funded by a generous grant from the Newbury Cultural Council. First Parish Church is located at 20 High Road, Newbury, MA.
