From an imaginative mind and a crafty set of hands, Christopher Volz creates a form of whimsical art that will make you smile and add a spark of wonder to your décor - year round or season after season. From a simple studio in New Jersey comes heirloom quality pieces that seem made of stone or wood, or cast from a mold, but each is slowly sculpted from a paperclay mixture then layered in paint.
Welcome to Hare and the Hedgerow Studio & Gardens
I garden, you enjoy.
Gardens are an ancient pleasure. Ancient gardens provided sustenance - fruits, vegetable, grains. They provided raw materials - dyes and fibers, and decorations. Palace gardens advertised wealth and power. Temple gardens created spaces for contemplation. Herb gardens gave us medicines, offered cures, and ways to ward off evils and insects. Ruling classes strolled their labyrinthine gardens while humble peasants fenced in their small kitchen gardens. Every culture has a culture of gardening.
We enjoy a rich inheritance, from gardens all over the world, of purpose, style, need, and desire. There is a garden right for every person - formal, country, low maintenance, vegetable, cut flower, wildflower, evergreen. Designing and maintaining gardens is what I do. I garden, so you can enjoy. Call, text, or email today to get your garden started.
Estate Gardening
A Labor of Love
With a passion for gardening, a fascination with plants, and thirty years of experience, I take on all the garden labor, you get all the garden love.
Trimming, planting, transplanting, dividing, walls, edges, and much more. Perennial gardens, shrubs, vegetable and herb gardens, wildflower areas, and, most importantly, weeding.

In Loving Memory
Memorial Trees & Gardens
An ornamental or shade tree, or even a dedicated garden, is an impactful way to honor and remember a loved one who has passed away. I can pick out and plant the perfect tree for you, or I can plant a tree purchased elsewhere. I am happy to discuss your options because I know it has to be just right.
Mailbox Issues?
A very common problem in the springtime here in the Twin Tiers is a downed or damaged mailbox. I can fix that. I follow the guidelines set forth by the USPS, and I offer custom designs!
