synopsis
In the Blue Ridge Mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina, an artist named Christopher Mello has made a darkly beautiful garden that includes what he calls Shovelhenge, a blue bottle tree, and a new kind of poppy he has been hybridizing for over a decade. An artist who works with clay and steel, Christopher has placed a makeshift chalkboard outside the garden that proclaims, "Yes You May." Many visitors to the garden have taken up the phrase as a sort of mantra, an opportunity to be inspired by Christopher's life and give themselves permission to go out and live some aspect of their life long neglected.
