Time to explore your artistic practice
Productive Critique

CSA Bouquet Subscription

$60 for three bouquets
​

The Magenta Door Art Studio celebrates permaculture ethics: Care for the Earth, care for people, and take only your fair share (and return any surplus.) With that philosophy in mind, I've been joyfully growing and sharing flowers grown from seed on site with no pesticides or herbicides. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. The idea is that community members support their local farmers by purchasing a seasonal subscription.  To purchase a subscription, go to my ArtShop. Questions? Contact me at [email protected].
