Walt Swist photos from the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens.
Take a photographic journey with Walt Swist through the 2024 season in the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens! Experience the magical pollinator gardens in full bloom and the amazing bounty of the vegetable and herb gardens, with side tours of the wedding garden, the barn garden, the bird-friendly gardens, the memorial garden, the rain garden, the wildflower garden, the garden for the senses, and more. These gardens present opportunities for home and community gardeners to observe and learn best practices in a beautiful natural setting.
As an additional benefit, we donate most of our fresh vegetables and herbs to the Families in Transition Food Pantry and Dining Services in Manchester. We also provide vegetables for our favorite Animal Ambassadors who reside at the Massabesic Center. In 2024 we harvested about 543 pounds of vegetables and herbs.
Some of these photos are simple direct views of the harvest in the field, with vegetables and herbs dutifully lining up to be weighed and counted. In other photos the vegetables, herbs and flowers take center stage to tell their own unique stories, often revealing whimsical individual personalities and sharing the secret joys of life of the garden.
This exhibit is a departure from our typical showroom gallery, and will be displayed in our main hall, which will be fully accessible during standard Massabesic Center hours Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 5pm.
Bio: Walt is a volunteer with the UNH Extension Master Gardener program and a resident of Manchester, New Hampshire. He is also a NH Audubon volunteer in the demonstration gardens at the Massabesic Center in Auburn, where he helps grow and harvest produce in the vegetable and herb gardens. He enjoys photographing the diversity and beauty of the natural world enhanced with an occasional dash of whimsical storytelling.

Ode to the Birdhouse Exhibit
2025-07-19 11:00 - 17:00, 2025-07-18 11:00 - 17:00 | McLane Center, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord, NH, 03301, United States
Visit the McLane Center 7/2-8/23 to see the Ode to the Birdhouse series by Pam Tarbell.
“I have always been fascinated with birds as I looked out the windows as a child. Now, I watch the local bird population plus the migrating fowl and hawks, which continues to fascinate me.
As an artist, I listen to music while painting, which helps to create movement in my art. I made the simple shape of a birdhouse, several patterns of birds, and then added leaves to create a complex overlapping of colorful designs. Several of my paintings became visual puzzles for the eye as birds are camouflaged in their environment.”
Examples from the Ode to the Birdhouse exhibit,
Bio: A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a United States Art Embassy Artist. Tarbell exhibits nationally, and in 2023 had a solo exhibit at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. In 2024, she was commissioned to paint the awards for the New Hampshire Committee for the Arts Gala Awards Celebration. She just concluded a solo exhibit at the Mass Audubon in Belmont, MA.
She has served on numerous boards and committees advocating for the arts in New Hampshire. In 2015, she received an “Outstanding Woman in Business Award” from NH Business Magazine, as director of the Mill Brook Gallery & Sculpture Garden for twenty-two years.
Tarbell enjoys painting bright, complicated compositions, hoping that the viewer will always continue to find interesting elements in her paintings.
Her gallery is open by appointment: 603-496-2014. You can visit her website to sign up for her newsletter.
