THE GARDEN WALL’ exhibition (Sample

Jo Reitze has been delighted to be
involved in a very exciting and innovative

Neighbourhood Centre.
'BEYOND
THE GARDEN WALL' focuses on
gardening and its significance in
the lives of twenty senior residents

This exhibition will feature twenty
oil paintings of diverse gardens by
Jo Reitze. Her paintings vividly capture
the essence of these gardens, reflecting
the individuality of their creators.
‘BEYOND THE GARDEN WALL’ exhibition
will include all works generated from
the project; bound oral histories,
photographs of participants in their
garden, the film of the project, personal
visual journals as well as Jo’s
paintings.
