Jack Warner's Garden, Tuscaloosa, AL


Mr. Jack Warner of Tuscaloosa has developed a one-of-a-kind flower garden at his home in the North River section of the city. All kinds of flowering shrubs and trees adorn the hillside that Mr. Jack (even at the age of 90) scales many times a day as he entertains guests with his interesting stories about his plants, decorative pieces, and sculptures located in his garden. Various gazebos, arches, and other structures adorn the hillside garden. Jack entertains his guests with stories about erecting dead trees in concrete to express the mortality of man. The dead trees in the middle of the garden remind us of life's fleeting nature. As Jack says, "We will all be gone, but they will still be here." Sandstone pathways lead one to a magnificent view overlooking Lake Tuscaloosa. Jack's garden is a work in progress as he is forever planting something new. This unframed 11" x 14" oil painting, priced at $650, is available for purchase from the artist, Tommy Thompson (contact: tommy@tommythompsonart.com or by calling 256-710-3730 or 256-767-0422).
