LaManda Joy is an award-winning Illinois Extension Master Gardener, author, speaker and founder of Chicago’s Peterson Garden Project. Her life’s mission is to inspire everyone she meets to grow their own food, seriously.

A lover of garden culture in all forms, she’s often found “plant snooping” around the U.S. and Europe. She’s particularly enamored with the gardens of her husband Peter Wigren’s native land – Sweden.

In “Dreams of a Swedish Summer” LaManda shares some of her favorite garden memories from visits over the years to Stockholm and Gotland. The exhibit includes a live garden and photographs of gardens around the world: from Swedish community gardens to 300-year-old urban farms, and even renegade hollyhocks emanating from sidewalk cracks in Stockholm, LaManda Joy shows her love for the plant world and garden community.
