    Chincoteague Island Decoy & Art Festival 2024

    Best Photograph of Chincoteague/Assateague Award

    This award was a great way to start the spring exhibition season! Thanks so much to the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce for this honor and for recognizing my work. This local group is a nonprofit organization that promotes the much needed tourism, which feeds a majority of all of the local businesses. Having been a small business owner my self since 1996, I admire and appreciate their efforts. They get very little financial support from the government, so they run special events to support their efforts. The Easter Decoy Festival is only one of their annual events. Others include the Chincoteague Seafood Festival, the Annual Pony Swim. Chincoteague has been one of my favorite places since my childhood, and still is to this day.

    Lisa Ziegler's "The Cut Flower Handbook" 2024 • 200+ Images

    This photography project spanned an entire year and included shoots at several locations in both Virginia and North Carolina. This book is an 8” x 10”, 240 page Hardback and contains over 200 of my photographs from cover to cover. It's the perfect balance of inspiration and education, The Cut Flower Handbook teaches how Lisa grows and harvests annual cut flowers from seed to bloom while sharing the varieties that have become her tried and true favorites.
    It also has her streamlined steps for preparing, locating, and maintaining a cutting garden. Learn why and how Lisa selects the best seed starting method for a specific flower and its favored growing conditions. She also shares her tried and true methods for how she starts seeds –  from soil blocking to growing in plug trays to planting seeds directly in the garden!
    Over half the book features specific flowers or flower groups, including growing facts, Lisa’s firsthand experiences with them, tips for home gardeners and flower farmers, harvesting and conditioning steps, and lists of Lisa’s favorite varieties.
    Lisa’s logical and nature-driven method is the signature hallmark of her success. This handbook includes 41 cool-season and 25 warm-season flowers to grow and harvest.

    Crozet Fall Arts & Crafts Festival 2023

    People's Choice Award - Second Place

    Awarded second place “People's Choice” Award at my first fall Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival this October. Crozet, Virginia is a quaint, charming community, that reminds me of years past of living in rural Bedford County, VA. Thanks to the attendees for their kind words, throughout the beautiful fall weekend. Special thanks to those parents who have clearly raised their children to love and respect nature. I love it when I see multi-generations of families walking together and youngsters exploring the park in freedom. Thanks all to my return customers from the spring show who came by, whether to add to your decor or just to visit, I appreciate the warm welcome.
