New Editor Bio - Raised
on a southeastern Minnesota dairy farm, Susy Olsen’s love for earth,
flower,
leaf, and whimsy started early and has taken on a life of its own. Susy and her husband love to
entertain on
their porch and in their backyard living space. Weekly, they
entertain
their three adult children and four granddaughters, who love to play in
the
hosta-lined play areas. Their very shaded small city lot
screams ‘come in
and play.’

Always looking for
different
means of self-expression, Susy investigates different art forms, such as pottery, glass,
wood, copper, and cement. Like
the friendship plant we love to share,
Susy loves sharing her creations, although they usually end up in
garden, as
well. One of her
2012 additions
consisted of a 6x6 foot sand box, covered with a sedums and succulents
green
roof. It features a
handmade Ecuadorian
hammock for relaxing; our children and grandchildren love it.
During the school
year, Susy
works in technology for a Rochester high school. Summers,
you can find her playing in her yard
with her grand-girls or working in her yard with either a shovel or a
chain saw
and drill.
Susy
is the newsletter
editor for Shades of Green Hosta Society of Southeastern Minnesota.
