Celebrating the autumn equinox with The Famous Pear Tree in @thepatchworkforest was quite the treat! We took part in the local traditional of having hot pear porridge (pærevælling) and we were also treated to a very special modern savory pear concoction by the talented Johanne from @lillehavn_ 🥰 @oliver_stilling gave a lovely speech and I read a sonet inspired by the famous tree written by my friend @rikke_prikke91 for the occasion. The Famous Pear Tree didn't fancy making us any pears this year, but @adamadamfenton came to the rescue, supplying us with lots of yummy pears from the neighbouring island of Lolland 🍐🍐🍐

It was a very special moment for me, feeling like after three years of stewardship of this little piece of land on Falster, it has finally started to truly become a place that people appreciate and feel a connection to. A huge thanks to everyone who came for this fall celebration as well as all the other folk who have contributed in some way, big or small, these past few years 🤍

If you want to support The Famous Pear Tree from afar, remember you can always leave a letter for it via Googlemaps, just search for its name and leave a review. It is especially enjoying its streak of purely 5 star ratings, beating its local tree celebrity rival The Valdemar Oak Trees's score 🙃

Researcher lige lidt til årets afsluttende begivenhed for Det Berømte Pæretræ i @thepatchworkforest og får hevet bøger om hekse, riter og soldyrkelse frem fra magasinerne 🌞🍐

Efterårsjævndøgn nærmer sig og dermed endnu en lejlighed til at fejre Det Berømte Pæretræ i Patchworkskoven 🍐 (English version in the comments)

Denne gang inviterer vi til pærevælling og sammenskudsgilde i høstens gavmilde ånd. Som en lille overraskelse har Det Berømte Pæretræ valgt ikke at lade sig definere ud fra sine frugter i år og har valgt ikke lave nogen pærer, men det er okay, for vi sætter pris på træet for så meget mere end dets frugter!

Mange kender måske pærevælling som et begreb for en rodet sammenblanding af ting, men det er også en påskønnet egnsret fra Lolland og Falster. Vi vil tilberede den over bål og servere den varm

Eventen vil i sig selv også være en pærevælling i ordets anden betydning og bliver et sammenskudsgilde af hvad folk har lyst til at byde ind med. En stor tak til de ildsjæle og kunstnere som allerede har budt ind med følgende: (Listen opdateres løbende)

- Pærer fra den Lolland baserede kunstner Adam Fenton @adamadamfenton
- Pære illustration ved journalist og Falster ildsjæl Oliver Stilling @oliver_stilling
- En sonet skrevet om og for Det Berømte Pæretræ af skribent Rikke Bergmann Østergaard @rikke_prikke91

Tag meget gerne kontakt, hvis du også har noget du har lyst til at byde ind med. Enhver lille gestus vil helt sikkert glæde Det Berømte Pæretræ og din tilstedeværelse ligeså. Eventen er gratis og alle er velkomne! 🧡

HVAD ER DET BERØMTE PÆRETRÆ OG PATCHWORKSKOVEN?
Hvis du ikke før har hørt om Det Berømte Pæretræ, så er det et meget afholdt pæretræ som vokser i Patchworkskoven på Stavreby Strandvej 2, 4874 Gedser. Patchworkskoven blev startet i 2023 af kunstner Stine Linnemann med støtte fra Guldborgsund Kommune. Det en lille kunstskov og evigt foranderligt landart værk som agerer helle for biodiversitet og kreativitet på hvad der før var en nedrivningsgrund.

The Famous Pear Tree meets the next generation 🌱🌱🌱

Back in April I got to spend a week with cutest kids at Søruphus Forest Kindergarten. On the first day I told them all about The Famous Pear Tree and then I made us some yummy cakes using pears from the famous treee, that I had been saving in my freezer all winter. The next day we went by bus to visit The Famous Pear Tree in @thepatchworkforest and we had a great time playing and dancing all around it.

The rest of the week we spent colouring sooo many pears! It was so much fun getting to spend time drawing with the children and by the end of the week, I created a little exhibition of their pear art all through-out the kindergarten. A big thanks to everyone at Søruphus who took part in my latest pear shenanigans and thanks to Guldborgsund municipal for the funding to make this adventure possible 💚

In the time since my visit, I have meticulously cut out and laminated the many pears that we drew, so we can use them as part of the next celebration of The Famous Pear Tree this coming weekend. Come join us for a summer solstice celebration and Pear Picnic on Sunday the 21st of June from 1 pm - 5 pm in The Patchwork Forest on Stavreby Strandvej 2, 4874 Gedser. The fantastical pears will be used in a workshop called "Everyone can be a pear tree", where everyone and everything can become a pear tree for a while by wearing them. Hope to see you there! Thanks to Guldborgsund Art Council for supporting the Pear Picnic event, which is of course free for everyone to enjoy 🍐🍐🍐 Event link in bio 😊

A huge thank you to @statenskunstfond for giving me (and by extension The Famous Pear Tree!) my first ever working grant as a "fine art" artist* 🥹 It feels like such a huge stamp of approval for this weaver-turned-artist (meanwhile The Famous Pear Tree thinks its about time it gets some recognition from the state 😅).

In all seriousness though, I wanted to take a minute to appreciate our good fortunes, that we are able to apply for a grant like this every year. Personally, I like to think of it as the artists' lottery, that we get to play every year. It's by no means a fair or perfect system, but it's still pretty amazing to get the chance to receive money to develop our practise as artists. These money are given with no strings attached and can be spent in whichever way we as artists deem best. Over the years it has afforded me the luxury of doing many a creative activism project, that would be impossible to fundraise for.

This year I suspect The Famous Pear Tree will insist I spend most of the money on celebrating it, but whatever is left will go towards creating a larger financial buffer for my company. That's the biggest gift I can give myself as an artist, because it will help me to continue to stay brave in my choices of what, who, when, where and how I wish to practise my art. Thank you! 🧡🧡🧡

*Not to discount the five times I was previously fortunate enough to receive a working grant as a craft practitioner and designer, but this year they didn't give me any money 😅

Click bait - but make it pear shaped 🍐🔥

For a brief moment we hit the front page of local Falster news, which is no small feat on the evening before a national election 🙌

But then again, it IS after all The Famous Pear Tree. It wouldn't have it any other way 🎥✨🌳✨📸

Så ramte vi for en kort stund forsiden af Folketidende med en vaskeægte click bait overskrift om Det Berømte Pæretræ 🙌

Og så på aftenen før et folketingsvalg! Men mindre kunne næsten heller ikke gøre det; det er trods alt selveste Det Berømte Pæretræ 🍐🍐🍐
