I came home from the Plein Air Conference and Expo 2025 in Lake Tahoe/Reno to find all the roses around the farm in beautiful full bloom. What a sight to behold. I also met so many wonderful artists who are interested in giving workshops here in 2026, and also artists who are interested in coming to visit and give us feedback on the farm.

We are working away and getting everything in order to start having workshops here at Holland Spring. We are also in the middle of planting season, planting flowers, peppers and tomatoes and herbs, all for our curbside plant stand that Shannon keeps stocked during the summer. It’s a very busy time here!

If you are one of the wonderful artists I met when in Reno, please drop me an email at chrischrismarx@gmail.com or give us a call here at 916 425-1609.
