The Budderlee village seal: an oak tree, rooted in kindness

Welcome to Budderlee

Rooted in kindness, where every resident matters.

An imagined New England village brought to life through original paintings and interconnected stories.

Created by Barbara J. Demers to celebrate animals as individuals and the kindness that connects a community.
