Brian & Michelle Sousa Peay – Show Creators

Michelle & Brian are Westport residents and award winning garden designers. Together, Shelly and her husband Brian own Metamorphosis Design, and specialize in creating private and corporate garden environments across New England and beyond. They also have 25 years of experience at the RI Spring Flower and Garden Show. 


Outside of gardening, Shelly and Brian live for and love outdoor living. They respect and nurture nature and all of its creatures, especially their beloved golden retrievers, Lupin, Fern, and Ivy.


They have combined their passion for nature, art and community to

create the South Coast Harvest Festival, a unique experience for families to enjoy at the iconic Westport Fairgrounds.
