Carol Duke is an artist and farmer, who has given much of the last thirty years to caring for her twenty-one acre hillside farm in Western Massachusetts. Her greatest joy in working with the land has been to see how her farm has become home to a diverse community of wildlife. Through her blog Flower Hill Farm, Carol shares the beauty of living closely with nature and how with careful consideration of conservation and only using organic practices, while being a steward to the land, one can create a true sanctuary for native flora and fauna. Carol's writing can be found on her blog on her website caroldukeflowers.com and  Focusing on Wildlife. She is presently working on a book about the wildlife encounters here at Flower Hill Farm. The working title is A Bestiary . . . Tales from a Wildlife Garden. She has documented by family over 77 species of birds and over 50 species of butterflies who share her hillside paradise.
