Lessons from My Garden with Marcella Hawley

In this episode, host Veronica Theodoro sits down with Marcella Hawley, an artist, botanical illustrator, and creative director who has contributed her talents to Martha Stewart Living and the Mary Engelbreit Home Companion. Many in the St. Louis community may also know Marcella for her stunning front garden in Webster Groves, lovingly called "The Slope of Possibility." Filled with thousands of vibrant flowers, the garden is a living tribute to her mother and embodies Marcella’s belief in the transformative and healing power of gardens. Here, Marcella takes us on a personal journey, filled with insights about life, loss, and rebirth. Marcella also fills us in on the exciting new project she plans to launch early next year. It's an episode filled with inspiration and hope and one that you won't want to miss.
