Ep. 14 TV Interviews and Tom Benner

The wait is finally over! For those of you who have been following The Cove Life throughout the summer you might remember that in Ep. 8 [Pollinator Power in Swallowtail Grove] I mentioned that Rogers television and MaryAnne McDonald with EcoVox TV had come by Swallowtail Grove to film interviews and footage as part of an episode on the importance of pollinators and pollinator sanctuaries. After several weeks waiting in self admitted nervousness [of appearing as a goof on television] the episode of EcoVox TV has finally aired! For the show times on Rogers Television London Click Here, the episode will be airing all week so you have several chances to see it. The episode which features myself & FOTC President Thom McClenaghan extends information on Swallowtail Grove, pollinator gardens and the importance of pollinators to our food chain and to our ecosystems.  Thanks again to Rogers Television, MaryAnne McDonald and EcoVox TV for joining us!

Sculpture: Tom Benner

FOTC would like to announce as well that we are releasing vintage poster prints from Tom Benner's 1990 Coves exhibition. If you are unfamiliar with the name Tom Benner then  you may be familiar with his iconic aluminum sculpture of a rhino which stands outside Museum London at the forks of the Thames.  The posters which have remained stored at the FOTC office are prints of one of the original pieces produced by Tom Benner for the 1990 exhibition. Featuring mixed media iconic images from the coves including the majestic and brave sycamore tree which still stands today on the banks of the East Cove the prints are a beautiful example of what makes the Coves so great. If you are interested in purchasing a copy for yourself, friends or family feel free to contact us at the FOTC office. The prints are 16.5"x31" and are availible for $10 each tax included.
