Snow Transformations are fun for kids to see. ⛄⥛🚶‍♂️ From Snowman to Man. They are also a great way to introduce older children to anatomy. **full disclosure - a naked carve does not last as long. Snow Men can be so much more than a “cool guy” outside your front door to catch everyone’s eye and put everyone at ease. Ask for something unique or order one of these listed:

• Man Looking up, Leaning Against Building - shown above

• Man thinking on steps

• Speak-No-Evil, Child Hiding - half-price & brought-finished

Snow Memorials can help preserve and represent that which is missing or soon to be gone. In a society that wants to forget, snowmen memorials help build conscious awareness around the process of forgetting. They create a transitional linking-memory to an experience or a piece of history, so that we don’t forget. If you would like to commission a monument cast in snow please connect with me.

 about

Here on this web-page this brand is called Tender Hill in honor of the late and unfamiliar Princess Hill Nursery. Princess Hill A family nursery that dates back to the summer of ‘69, which sadly closed around 1990. Though I never got to know Princess Hill, I feel connected to it in some way. It was once located on Prince’s Hill across from Prince’s Hill Cemetary between County Road, Hilltop Avenue and Prince’s Hill Avenue.

I think they called it “Princess Hill” and NOT “Prince’s Hill” because…

To get the story you have to picture yourself as a 1900s Italian-American immigrant, so, pinch your fingers together like you just tasted The Most Loved Tom-eh-tuh Sauce that you had in weeks to get into the mood. Then, say, “Prince’s Hill” a few times with in an Italian-American accent. You’ll probably misunderstand yourself and start hearing “Princess Hill.” That right there is their origin story.

They just accepted being misunderstood, and went with it.

Since I grew up on Aquidneck Island, over the river from Barrington, the logo above depicts the Princess of Princess Hill in a Native American context, in reclamation of the land and spirit once kept at peace through the fire-tenders who kept the fire going as a beacon for strategic gatherings between tribes. I believe that it was honorable women like these that, once seen, were taken to be Princesses. As I work to sustain Princess Hill’s memory in the world, I picture that same woman, back in her place of honor, preciding over the place where deals were made and tribes befriended each other—Tender Hill. With Princes Hill living on through me, as Tender Hill, along with many others in so many ways, including through the plants still peppering the streets and gardens of Barrington, Rhode Island, I remember that I do so in true thanksgiving, in debt to the gracious Natives of this land.

You may also see this product sold under the brand Dad’s Garden as a reference to my own father and his father, father figures, my heavenly father…. and to the father that I see myself as, now and in the future.
