The Potting Shed |
| |
|
|
Over the years the Fearrington gardeners heard repeatedly from
visitors, "Where do we find this coleus?" or "Where in the world did
you get this geranium"? We began to realize that we needed to help
visitors bring a little bit of Fearrington home with them. And
so...The Potting Shed was born. Originally the corn crib of the old Fearrington Farm, The Potting
Shed offers dozens of varieties of unusual, old-fashioned, hardy,
and beautiful herbs, trees, vines, flowering perennials, and gourmet
annuals. Also available is a great selection of art and accessories
for the garden, including metal sculptures of our famous Beltie
cows. The shops at Fearrington are located in beautiful Chatham
County - just minutes from Pittsboro and Chapel Hill.

Metal
Sculptures by Louis Torres
A self-taught artist born in Michigan in the 1940's, Torres' began
his art as a hobby fueled by a brief career in auto body mechanics.
His work can be found in collections in the U.S. and throughout the
world. The Potting Shed currently offers intricate Belted Cows,
Belted Goats, roosters, sunflowers and more.

Kitras
Art Glass
Established in 1988, Kitras produces handblown ornaments for the
home and garden. The swirls of glass color play with the natural
light attracting hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. The
large spirals and fiddleheads are made to look organic as if these
whimsical creations grew right out of the earth! |

Butterflies
by Gary Caldwell
One of our most beloved items, created by a local artist Gary
Caldwell. They are made of 20 gauge stainless steel, and their
surfaces are heated with a torch that creatse texture and a
surprising array of permanent colors. Very easily cared for, all
they need is a wipe with a damp cloth to maintain their lifetime
beauty. |
