"I'll tell you one thing for sure: once you get to the point where you're actually doing things for truth's sake, then nobody can ever touch you again because you're harmonizing with a greater power."
- George Harrison

So, this isn't specifically #SolarPunkSunday-related, but it is #Gardening related. Many folks might know #GeorgeHarrison from his music, but did you know he was an avid #Gardener. (I did.) Harrison spent many hours working on his garden, finding inspiration, hanging out with his friends. He understood how being in #Nature restores the soul! If you're in the area, check it out!
#SarasotaNY: George Harrison: A Gardener’s Life
Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition Series
On view February 9 – June 29, 2025
Downtown Sarasota campus
Tropical Conservatory, Gardens, The Museum of Botany & the Arts
"George’s love of gardening was an integral part of his identity. In an interview in Rolling Stone magazine in 1979, the renowned singer-songwriter described himself as 'just a gardener.' His strong association with gardening was further illustrated in his 1980 autobiography, I Me Mine, dedicated 'to gardeners everywhere.'
"In 1970, not long after The Beatles disbanded, the then 27-year-old George purchased the estate of Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames, a small town in the county of Oxfordshire, England. Built by an eccentric lawyer named Sir Frank Crisp in 1889, this once grand Victorian mansion with spectacular gardens had fallen into disrepair. With the help of his wife, Olivia Harrison, George was able to revitalize the neglected property, consisting of the mansion, lodges, and 32 acres of grounds. It was in this process that George’s love of gardening began to flower.
"George’s free approach to gardening combined creativity, spontaneity, whimsy, humor, and joy. This approach has inspired the exhibition at Selby Gardens, which combines a dynamic display of objects and ephemera in the Museum of Botany & the Arts with stunning horticultural vignettes in the Tropical Conservatory and throughout the gardens of the 15-acre Downtown Sarasota campus. Featured throughout the exhibition are a selection of George’s music and lyrics, as well as excerpts from Came the Lightening, a book of poems by Olivia Harrison dedicated to George and reflecting on their time together. The resulting multi-sensory experience highlights George’s connection to nature and celebrates his life and legacy through the power of plants."

Vandaag 1943 geboren in #Liverpool, of eigenlijk net voordat vandaag begon, maar de verloskundige schreef deze datum op, #GeorgeHarrison.
Als songwriter minder vermaard maar zeker net zo begaafd als het duo waar hij lang mee samenwerkte.
Hij schreef o.a. een van mooiste ‘love songs’.
