Snapdragon
In 2000
Jane Lindsay left her job as Curator of British Art at the Hunterian Art
Gallery in Glasgow to retrain in horticulture. In 2003 she moved to
Stirlingshire with her family and they planted Snapdragon's Garden, growing cut
flowers, herbs and vegetables in the Loch Lomond National Park.
The Scottish growing season is short so Jane turned to her love of textiles and
embroidery to fill in the rest of the year. She has always been a keen secret
sketcher - documenting life in her garden, the plants, animals and insects that
live there. Her embroideries are based on these sketches, She draws with her
sewing machine to make badges, mirrors, notebooks and other home accessories.
Each item is made individually and this means that each is unique - just as
every flower in her garden is unique.
