Susie Dyer
After raising two sons in Seattle, Susie credits WOT with her decision to move to the Berkshires full time. Throughout her first circle, she came to know WOT sisters better than she had known longtime neighbors elsewhere. Subsequent circle projects included house hunting, renovating a home built in 1756, garden design, furnishing & reupholstering, designing an art studio, and her spring 2020 project was an expanded garden bed that generated summer produce for GB’s food pantry. There is nothing that brings Susie more joy than sharing the space which she now calls “home”... a culmination of her WOT projects, fully realized with the support of ever so many WOT sisters....READ MORE:
