Victoria Patrick Zolnoski is a long-term adjunct art professor at Vermont State University.

She lives in Walden, where she practices a biocentric life of earth worship and species equality.

Central to this is a two-acre perennial garden that has been tended for forty years.

Many of the flowers for Torry's and Caroline's lumens come from this space.

Victoria is in the process of having the garden become a certified wildlife habitat.

During the summer of 2024, a lumen tent will be set up in the garden for art classes.
