As part of MERA’s Annual Garden Day on May 23rd, a one-woman show will be presented by Dale Colleen Hamilton.

The Gardener and the Golfer sharp, funny, and heartfelt one-woman show, next-door neighbours Mary and Bill couldn’t be more different. She’s a regenerative farmer with dirt under her nails; he’s a hedge fund manager who’d rather be on the golf course than in a debate over land use. As tensions rise, their neighbourly friction turns into a full-on feud over land use and climate change. Will they find common ground, or remain stuck on opposite sides of the fence?
