Master Gardener Project for 2011 – The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) forCarlisle Elementary School inDelaware requestedMasterGardener assistance in the de-sign and layout of the school's unused courtyard. The area lacked functionality, sus-

tainability andwas overgrown.The col-laborative efforts of the PTO, theDelaware County Master Gar-dener Volunteers and localbusinesses helped to trans-form this unused space intoa meeting place for dailyclassroom learning oppor-tunities in environmentalscience and nature, socialstudies, history, art, math,reading and social skills. Todaythe renovated courtyard is enjoyedby over 500 Carlisle students andmorethan 30 teachers and staff. Its key features in-clude: a learning deck, a sensory prairie garden, "GrassyKnoll", rock bed, reading area with log-stump seating, mulched playground space andarea with patio tables and seating. The Master Gardeners working on this project pre-sentedCarlisle teachers with theirCourtyard PlantDirectory, a 90+ page notebook thatdocuments the Courtyard's plant inventory, fun facts, and care and maintenance tips.

Key contributors on the project were: Carlisle PTO, Delaware County Master Gar-dener Volunteers, Amy Dutt from Urban Wild , Elfner Landscape & Organic Lawncare , Lowe's at Lewis Center and Scioto Gardens Nursery.

Community Gardens areComing to Delaware

Community gardens are being established all over the state, and also in DelawareCounty. According to theAmericanCommunityGardenOrganization, located at theFranklin Park Conservatory, the number of community gardens in Central Ohio aloneis astonishing. Creating a community garden is about so muchmore than just garden-ing. It’s about working with children, groups of community-minded individuals andbringing families together.

The Delaware County Grow and Share Community Garden committee has beenbusy so far in 2012. We held a seminar on February 4 with 75 attendees. The day wasspent learning about all the aspects of community gardening. The keynote speaker wasBill Dawson of Growing to Green at the Franklin Park Conservatory. He entertainedthe groupwith stories about community gardens aroundCentralOhio. He told us someamazing stories about the "community" in these types of gardens. DonaRae ofDelawareCounty Soil andWater told us about soil requirements for gardens and composting tech-niques. Other topics were succession planting, companion planting and early seasonplanting. The day finished with a panel of experts who shared their knowledge of com-munity gardening, what works and doesn't work, and offered great garden advice.

The Grow and Share Committee will be hosting a monthly series of garden pro-grams beginning onMarch 15 and running throughOctober. The programs will be the3rd Thursday of each month at the YMCA Community Room at 1121 South HoukRoad, from 6:30-8:30pm. No reservations are needed and the programs are free to thepublic. The March 15th program will focus on Seed Starting for your garden. Futuretopics will be; herbs, insects, diseases, cold frames, canning /preserving and many oth-ers. Watch for details on the OSUDelaware County website at www.delaware.osu.eduand the SaturdayDig In garden column in theGazette formore details of each program.

This year we will showcase community gardens at the new Delaware CommunityGardens located at the Delaware County Community Market on E. William Street.Rick Dinovo, owner of themarket, has offered use of a portion of the property to estab-lish community garden plots. The Master Gardener Committee will have demonstra-tion gardens showing different techniques, structures and a wide variety of new andunusual vegetables. Other groups that have committed to a garden plot are; CommonGrounds Free Store, Sustainable Delaware, The Delaware Unit of the Herb Society ofAmerica, Boy Scout Troop # 318, First Presbyterian Church, Cub Scout Troop #108 atConger School, and the Liberty Community Center. Set-up is planned for the end ofMarch to lay out raised beds in the garden.

There are currently a few established community gardens inDelaware County; BlueLimestone, Genoa Township and Ashley Library Garden. Others that are in the plan-ning stages are Sandusky Street Vineyard Church and Habitat for Humanity.

Stayed tuned to theOSUDelawareCountywebsite for details on these garden proj-ects and information on how you can get involved with community gardens.

“Gardens, scholars say, are the first sign of commitment to a community. When peopleplant corn they are saying let’s stay here. And by their connection to the land, they are connectedto each other.” – Anne Raver

BY SUSAN LIECHTY, Delaware County Master Gardener


Planting for the FutureDelawareCountyMasterGardeners have partneredwithDelawareCountyHabitat

for Humanity to plant for the future and continue Habitat for Humanity’s mission of“giving a hand up, not a hand out.”

Designing a landscape with the prospective homeowners’ specific wishes and needsis an important part of this joint effort. Master Gardeners work with homeowners ofnewly built homes to educate them about plant selection and care. Determiningwhichplants will work well with the homeowners’ physical limitations and time restraints arealso major considerations. Many Habitat for Humanity homeowners do not have ex-perience maintaining a landscape, so education is vital to the success of the project.The homeowners work along with theMaster Gardener volunteers to install the plantmaterials and learn landscape maintenance skills. Upon completion, Master Garden-ers present homeownerswithmaterials about the specific plants in their landscape aswellas general landscape information.

Delaware County Habitat for Humanity’s “A BrushWith Kindness” programprovides assistance to existing homeowners whose homes need a bit of TLC.One area of this program includes updating a home’s landscape. Educatingthe homeowner about landscapemaintenance is an important part of this pro-gramaswell. MasterGardenerVolunteers assess the current landscape design,and with the homeowner’s assistance give the home’s curb appeal an updated

new look. The sense of pride in home ownership increases significantly as a home’s curbappeal takes on a new life.

Working with the Delaware County Habitat for Humanity families is a rewardingpart of thisMasterGardenerVolunteer project, especiallyworkingwith the children. Aschildren experience planting a container flower garden,mowing a lawn for the first time,or picking tomatoes, they gain confidence in their abilities and learn new skills. Some-thing as simple as planting tiny seedshas the possibility ofplanting a greatfuture.

Rhubarb

Generations have been passing along rhubarb roots to share a small piece of culi-nary splendor. Do you remember your grandmother growing rhubarb? Even if you don'tcare for the flavor of rhubarb, it's worth growing simply for the plant's striking appear-ance in the garden.

Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbum)has been around for thousands of years, used as a driedroot by theGreeks and Romans for medicinal purposes, instead of culinary. It was usedas a treatment for headaches, high fever, skin diseases and even the plague. Today inChina it is considered a top medicinal herbal product.

The earliest culinary use dates to the 18th century for pies and tarts. Still today it ismostly associated with desserts and not savory dishes.

Botanically, rhubarb is a vegetable, but in 1947 theUSCustomsCourt inNewYorkruled it was a fruit. It's rich in Vitamin C, calcium, potassium, high in dietary fiber andlow in carbohydrates.

The edible part of rhubarb is its leaf stalks (petioles). The leaves contain a toxic sub-stance that can cause severe illness or even death if consumed in large quan-tities. Make sure you remove the leaves immediatelywhenharvested.The leaves contain a substance called oxalic acid and is con-sidered a natural weed killer. Some folks lay the leavesaround the base of their plants to kill at least some ofthe weeds, reducing some weeding in a least onebed.

Be creative and use rhubarb in somethingother than pies and tarts. Some populartreats are rhubarb ketchup, chopped andadded to potatoes, chutneys, salsa andmuffins. Some like the tanginess ofrhubarb and eat the smaller stalks rawin salads. Ginger is used to enhancethe taste, especially in jam making.The stalks are extremely tart, so the ad-dition of a sweetener is a must. Sugar,strawberries, apple juice or honey are justa few to consider. Rhubarb is sometimescooked as a vegetable, notably in Polandand the Middle Eastern Countries, and usedto make an Italian aperitif, Rubarbara ZuccaBitters. Rhubarb and strawberries is a perfectmatch thatmake their appearance at the same time inthe spring, making for a natural marriage of flavors. Howoften do you see recipes with strawberries and rhubarb to-gether? If you choose not to grow rhubarb yourself, it can be pur-chased at your local farmmarket early in the season. You want to look forstalks that are bright pink to red, crisp not limp, and free of disease, damage or insects.

Rhubarb is a perennial crop best suited for northern climates where temperaturesdrop below 40 degrees in the winter. It will be one of the first vegetables to harvest inlateMay to early June.Whenplanting rhubarb, you should find a permanent spot in yourgarden for this long lasting perennial. It also needs plenty of space; they can spread 4-5feet across. The plants come either as bare root, from a nursery in a pot with a fewcrowns, or even better from a friendwho is dividing their bed. Youwill need a little pa-tience since you don't harvest it until the second year it needs some time to establish theroots.

Plan a bed that is at least 3 feet wide and 8 inches deep. Crowns should be plantedapproximately 2 to 3 feet apart. Three commonvarieties are 'Valentine', 'Victoria', and'MacDonald'. Rhubarbmakes a striking addition to your garden. The bold leaves andthe red and green stalks will make quite a statement. Care is minimal and very littlemaintenance is required for this great perennial. Harvesting can last from mid-Aprilinto July, now that is getting a good bang for your buck.

Consider adding this great long lasting edible perennial toyour landscape this year.

Lavender

Perhaps what I enjoy most about herbs is their wideuse of application—and I do not know of an herb that ismore of a powerhouse than lavender. Lavender has beenprized for thousands of years for its’ wide range of applica-tions. Mosquito bite? Rub some lavender on it. Cleaningawound?Rub thewoundwith lavender oil instead of rub-bing alcohol for a natural antiseptic (great for children).In fact lavender, lavandula¸is derived from the Latinword“lavare” which means “to wash”. Having trouble withdandruff? Steep lavender in warm water and use as a hairtreatment. Difficulty sleeping?A touch of lavender underyour pillow could help. And of course lavender’s morewidely-known applications in tea, perfume, and in cook-ing are certainly not to be overlooked. As if lavender’slovely, compact shape full of fragrant leaves and gorgeouspurple-grey blooms were not enough of a motivation toinclude it in your garden! I am sharing some of my in-sights on the uses for this spectacular herb in a class at theGreen Thumbs garden event held at Olentangy LibertyHigh School onMarch 24th. Lavender is a relatively easyperennial herb to grow, sure to becomeone of your very fa-vorite members of the garden.One of themost attractive reasons for adding lavender

to your landscape is it thrives where many plants meettheir demise in our central Ohio soil: very dry areas of fullsun. A lavender crop will be dismal if the plant has had aseason of wet feet. Areas that frequently pool and holdwater are not suitable in which to grow lavender. If yoususpect your desired spotmay be toomoist, adding sand tothe soil is an effective measure to ensure drainage. Thereare three main varieties of lavender, Lavandula angusti-folia, Lavandula dentata, and Lavandulamultifadawhichall originate from the original, Lavandula stoechas, whichwas first cultivated on the Canary Islands. The best andmost hardy variety to grow here in central Ohio is L. an-gustifolia which is traditional English Lavender. Supremescent and flavor define this variety. Some argue that thecolor of French lavender, L. dentata, ismore striking thanthe English but unfortunately it is not hardy enough toover-winter in our growing zone. If you desire to createuniform rows of lavender like an English garden, you willwant to leave about two feet between each plant. Air cir-culation is an important factor in the success of yourlavender. Proper air-flow around the plants will ensure afull and round shape.Because one of my greatest passions is cooking, I sup-

pose it comes as no surprise thatmy favorite use for laven-der is its’ spectacular flavor. Earthy but light, floral butfresh, and spiced but smooth, I do not think there is anyflavor comparable to that of lavender. When it comes toflavoring with herbs, it seems some palettes enjoy herbalflavors more than others. For that reason, I prefer to cap-ture the essence of lavender instead of run the risk of itbeing overpowering. I generally achieve this by steepinglavender buds in other ingredients then sifting them out.One ofmy very favorite ways to do this ismelt butter overa double boiler and add lavender buds. Let steepovernight as possible, heat again, and run through a sieve.No chunks of lavender, but butter with the beautifularoma of lavender with a light and enjoyable taste. Thatbutter makes a perfect base for scones, bread, or cakes.One of my favorite lavender recipes I have written withlavender was actually for a class I taught last September,pumpkin-lavender cupcakes.Hopefully my personal passion for lavender and its manyuses leaps off the page and inspires you to incorporate itinto your garden. Relatively lowmaintenance and lovely,lavender’s practicality is only envied by its’ luxurious fra-grance and flavor.
