Our Gardens Manager is Tom Petruno, who joined us in June 2023. Tom’s appreciation for gardening began growing up in the nearby Lehigh Valley, with a small vegetable garden in his backyard and a cherry tree. As an adult, he has grown in containers to raised beds, from San Diego, CA to Madison, WI, to Philadelphia and Pottstown, and joining Mosaic as a gardener in the 2022 season. 

Tom has a background in biology and ecology, earning his bachelor’s degree in biology from Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, VA. Tom’s prior roles range from being a Project Manager for Mammoth Lakes Ski Area, working in the Education Department for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and being a homeschooling parent. He brings years of knowledge and experience in gardening, education, and working together with others in service-based roles. His hobbies include playing guitar and snowboarding.

Marie Haigh, Chairwoman, Pottstown Community Arts

Marie runs Pottstown Community Arts, the arts and culture advocacy arm of Mosaic. She co-founded the organization with Audra Ross. When her children were very little, she wanted more opportunities for her kids to make art and see their art displayed outside the home. 

Marie loves bringing art projects to organizations in Pottstown and to free events around town so that everyone has an opportunity find their inner artist. Sometimes people will make a variation of Marie’s sample art and other times, they will make something completely unique. Often the art made will be used to temporarily beautify a small area in town, like a garden, or it will be included in an international exhibit when working with global art organizations. 

As our top volunteer, Marie organizes projects and events as often as she can. When she is not dragging bags of art supplies around town, she can be found keeping her hands busy in other ways. She volunteers at Althouse Arboretum and Welkinwier monthly to do trail maintenance with a group of equally dedicated friends. She tends several beloved trees and a vegetable garden in her ever-dwindling-lawn. She is a knitwear designer and teaches a knitting class at the annual Pottstown Knit Out. She loves to cook, bake sweet treats, and try new craft projects. 

Marie lives in Pottstown with her husband, two daughters, one son, and a dog. She homeschools her children and may enjoy visiting the local museums more than they do. As a thank you to the Pottstown Regional Public Library for being such a huge and free resource to homeschooling, Marie volunteers with the Board of the Friends of the Library.
