Welcome to The Blueberry Patch!

The mission of this non profit organization is to preserve and to insure the continuing evolution of Florida’s longest surviving artist’s retreat.

The Blueberry Patch, and its component element “Sharevival”, sharing to survive and surviving to share is the vision of our Founder, Dallas Bohrer.  It is a multi-faceted venue which exists as a well established reality, not as a mere hope or dream to be executed at some future time.

What is being preserved?

1. It is a gathering place for artists, writers, artisans, those who appreciate and support the arts, and for all to share barbeques and pot luck suppers.

2. It is a place which provides a stage and setting for local artists and musicians to entertain each other and the people of Gulfport four times each month.

3. The grounds under a canopy of trees is a garden where various local and exotic plants are lovingly tended as a showplace for Mother Nature’s beauty and bounty in profusion expressed in one acre of land.

4. The over arching principle that is the foundation for all of the above is:

Cast off materials from industry such as wood, glass, block, brick and steel can be gathered and collected then provided to artists and artisans from which they may make works of art.
