A 1 ton piece of Balinese Art arrives at Full Bloom

A fortuitous sequence of events brought a beautiful hand carved Balinese planter bed to Full Bloom last week.  Our neighbors Avara and Asher had imported the piece from Bali some years ago, then moved to Bali leaving the planter to be moved by the only guy in the area who could: our dear friend and earth mover Roarke Ball.  He took it to his land where it just sat for awhile till one day he offered to bring it over to Full Bloom.  Free Balinese art anyone!?

This is an example of the kind of resource sharing that is happening more and more in our community.  Its a fundamental principle of any sustainable community to move, circulate and put to best use its resources.  It doesn’t serve anyone to stash away wonderful objects whether its art or irrigation pipe.

Triumphant Victory after much shimmying and exerting.
