Hunting Brook, despite all of its incarnations as public garden, classroom, photographer's studio, etc., is first and foremost a home with all of the sense of welcome and serenity that the word implies. Living their days in the surrounds of Hunting Brook are Fred, Jimi's collie and companion of 12 years, seven hens who graciously supply eggs for lunches for classes, Jimi and whoever wanders in around lunch time and one duck who hangs out with the hens. Oh, and Jimi as well!
