Bloedel Reserve crew Don McKinney (left) and Joe Piecuch joined a dozen other people Thursday at the Bainbridge Island Jamanese American Exclusion Memorial at Pritchard Park. Landcape architect Johnpaul Jones, principal of Jones and Jones Architects, and Landscape Architects directed planting of native species such as sword fern, mahonia and salal, as well as the shore pine as was suggested by the late Junkoh Harui, founder of Bainbridge Gardens. “His spirit and his heart is here,” said Colleen Thorpe, landscape architect with Jones and Jones. Bloedel Reserve staff began at the south wall and volunteers worked to plant the wetland area.

“You don’t do this to get rich,” laughed Sue Cretarolo, a Bainbridge artist whose evocative encaustic works grace the walls of Bainbridge Arts and Crafts this month.

“I’ll do it until I run out of storage,” she said.
Her limited-pallette paintings are part of a group show “Almost Abstract” which includes work by Cretarolo, Delila Katzka and Kari Bergstrom MacKenzie.
