Reflections

I finally made my first visit to the State Fair. The fried food and rides held no allure for me, however I was curious to see the critters and, of course, the plants.

I saw massive pumpkins, picture perfect veggie gardens, coleus topiaries, gorgeous orchids and dahlias, but it was this stunning striated rose (photo right) that stopped me in my tracks. Thanks to Wake County Master Gardeners for having this floral and horticultural competition.

Our State Fair was actually mentioned in The Guardian recently. Check out US flower growers fear bloom is off the hobby on page 17. North Carolina is mentioned three times! In our state, flower traditions that are vanishing elsewhere continue.

Special thanks to Jan Dean for her numerous submissions, to Darlene Pomroy for sharing a one-of-a-kind garden, to Betsy Nininger for her Floral Design Update, and to Vicki Scott and Sue Tiedeman for their Community Services update. Also thanks to Daphne McLeod, Darlene Pomroy, Betsy Nininger and Gail Norwood for their photos.

CLIPPINGS 3November — December 2015

I’m looking forward to the day my garden is done. That day when I can sit back, relax and enjoy. Ha! We all know that day will never come. Some plants thrive, I get a pat on the back; some plants die a quick death, I mourn the loss wondering what I did wrong; and some plants, when they seem to thrive and then just up and die, cause me to throw up my hands and ask ”Why do I bother?” So I’m working on an attitude adjustment based on a concept I came across in a garden blog – wabi-sabi.

Wabi-sabi describes a Japanese aesthetic which embraces “finding beauty in the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.” Could be applied to life in general, couldn’t it? So, if I can get my attitude adjusted, that day may come when I sit back, relax and enjoy. 〜～ Char

At our Fall Coffee, Dr. Damon Waitt revealed some very exciting news. The 220 square ft. entry to Reeves Auditorium has been officially given a name — The Chapel Hill Garden Club Foyer!

This naming honor is in recognition of the valuable efforts and generous financial contributions of the CHGC members and in gratitude for the funds raised through our Spring Garden Tours over the past 20 years. The request went to the UNC Naming Committee this summer and received final approval at the September Board of Trustees meeting.   Watch for a formal plaque and a special surprise framed piece from NCBG Development in the near future. 

Heartfelt thanks to so many who answered the call, rolled up a sleeve, dug in and made our club the force that it is today.

And thanks to Dr. Damon Waitt and the NCBG staff for honoring us.

Our Community Service projects are all about creating beautiful gardens in Chapel Hill and its environs. We are fortunate to have among our members the availability, the ability and the passion to accomplish this goal.

At present, we have five thriving projects that depend on us. Among the oldest of these are the Habitat for Humanity Houses and the Downtown Planter.

Habitat Houses have been on our agenda for a long time. Anna DeConti is very enthusiastic in providing Habitat owners in Chatham County with lovely gardens and gardening knowledge to keep them so. Lately she and her sturdy friends have landscaped several new houses in Siler City and Chapel Hill.

The Downtown Planter on Columbia Road, beside Spanky's Restaurant, was adopted years ago and remains one of the few left in the town of Chapel Hill. Linda Rodriguez and her crew have lovingly tended to the planter — not an easy task as it is shared with a very large tree. Recently, the Planter underwent a renovation of plants to carry over the winter months and shine in the spring.

Another project is The Stratford, an Assisted Living Facility flanked on either side of its entrance by a small garden. The residents enjoy watching the Garden Club members weed, plant and mulch their blooming gardens.

At Freedom House, a Recovery Center, the Club has two areas. One is a half-circle in front of the new entrance sign and the other is a pretty garden which graces the Counseling Center in the back. The workers there have been dedicated to watering and the result is a colorful patch, lovely to behold.

Our latest endeavor is the Hummingbird Garden at the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill. Three of our members and their spouses have gracefully accepted chairing this project. Susan and John Hausmann, Sandy & Bill Wall, and Marianne & Dave McAuley have become care-takers for the planting and maintenance of this charming area which will bring beauty and relaxation to families residing there.

We hope that you will join us when the call goes out!

A Visit from Down Under

Jan Dean

November — December 2015

A huge thanks to Gail Norwood for her tremendous efforts to make this such an enjoyable experience for all.

It began in February, 2014, with an internet inquiry to then President, Christine Ellestad, who forwarded the request to Jan Dean, then serving in Community Relations. A group of fellow garden enthusiasts from Victoria, Australia, the Country Farm Perennials Travel Company, found the gorgeous CHGC website and wrote to request help in coordinating a visit to a private garden in our area.

After months of international correspondence — fast forward to October 15, 2015, a sunny, crisp, perfect autumn morning at Gail Norwood's garden.

Her beds were primped

and spruced up with lovely autumn color; warm cider and cookies were ready back at the gazebo; even a favorite garden bunny was sporting an outback hat.

The tour group's bus was to deliver them at 10 AM, but several hours passed — no bus! Finally they sent word that the bus had been involved in a fender bender with a car — no injuries and minor damage, but causing an arrival delay until late afternoon.

Turned out, the late day light was spectacular and the 30 Aussie visitors were wowed by Gail's grounds. They had a delightful visit before heading back to the Fearrington Inn for high tea. Other North Carolina stops on their itinerary included Boone, Asheville and the Biltmore before concluding their trip with 4 days in Charleston.

The group made a $100 donation to the NCBG as a token of their appreciation to the CHGC for our help in coordinating this visit.

The take away — never underestimate

the power of the Internet!

October 12th marked the 222nd celebration of University Day at UNC. The Edward Kidder Graham Faculty Service Award, established by the Faculty Council in 2011 to recognize outstanding service by a faculty member, was presented to Peter White, professor of biology in the College of Arts and Sciences.

White served as director of the North Carolina Botanical Garden (NCBG) from 1986 to 2014, during which he vastly increased the Botanical Garden’s size, programs, staffing, facilities and outreach, including raising more than $10 million toward completion of the Jim & Delight Allen Education Center.

The award was named in memory of Edward Kidder Graham, University president from 1914 to 1918, who committed the University to public service by vowing to “make the campus co-extensive with the boundaries of the State.”

In 1903, William Chambers Coker, the University's first professor of botany, began planting a teaching collection of trees and shrubs on the central campus. This collection was to become the Coker Arboretum. Starting in the late 1920s, Coker and his student Henry Roland Totten, proposed a more complete botanical garden south of the main campus. Although some plantings were made by the 1940s, it was in 1952 that the Trustees dedicated 70 forested acres for botanical garden development. To this tract were added 103 acres of dramatic creek gorge and rhododendron bluffs, donated by William Lanier Hunt, a horticulturist and former student of Coker and Totten.

 In 1961, Dr. C. Ritchie Bell, professor of Botany, was appointed the Garden's first director. The Garden's first public offering — its Nature Trails — opened on Arbor Day in April 1966.  

The Garden's formative period coincided with a surge of interest in plants and conservation fueled by Earth Day celebrations and the environmental movement. The Garden's early era was characterized by limited resources and unlimited idealism and energy. Since those early days many dreams have come to fruition. For example, the Garden's administrative, research, and public education space, the Totten Center (named for University of North Carolina

botanist Henry Roland Totten and his wife and past president of the Chapel Hill Garden Club, Addie), was opened in 1976. 

Prior to 1976 our Club held its monthly meetings at a variety of local facilities including Davie Hall, University Presbyterian Church, the University Baptist Church, the Episcopal Parish House, the Pharmacy Building on Church Street, the Community Room of the Orange Savings and Loan, and the Community Church before moving to the Totten Center that year. In 1976 our Club raised $2700 for the Botanical Garden Foundation — the fundraising arm of the NCBG.  

In the 1990’s, plans got underway for the NCBG expansion. We voted to support the fund for the proposed Education Center through profits from our Spring Garden Tours. To date, we’ve raised over $200,000 for the Garden.

In 2009 the Education Center, the first building on a UNC campus, the first state-owned building in North Carolina, and the state's first public museum and outreach center to earn LEED platinum status was dedicated and opened to the public. For 26 years longtime and dear friend to the CHGC, Dr. Peter White, led the Garden through this

remarkable period of growth before stepping down in 2014.

In April, 2015, Dr. Damon Waitt, formerly Director of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, became our full-time Director.

This wonderful facility is where the people of North Carolina and visitors from farther afield can listen to lectures, take workshops and classes, obtain information on sustainable gardening practices, and are introduced to the numerous gardens and natural areas that make up the North Carolina Botanical Garden. And it’s in this gorgeous space that we are graciously given the opportunity, free of charge, to hold our monthly meetings and store our Club’s records.

The Bridge of Flowers Barbara Clare

Go OutsideNovember — December 2015

If you’re traveling to New England, consider adding to your itinerary a visit to the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, MA. Darlene and James Pomroy did just that last July.

The only one of its kind in the world, The Bridge of Flowers was created in 1929 after the trolley line was abandoned in 1928. Through Antoinette and Walter Turnham’s original vision, the 400-foot concrete span was

transformed into a bridge of flowers.

Today, The Bridge of Flowers Committee maintains this garden of delights, which includes over 500 varieties of annuals and perennials blooming from April 1 through October 30.

On their website in “On the Bridge,” you’ll find a list of their plants and when they bloom — an impressive collection!

Planet BotanicUS flower growers fear bloom is off the hobby theguardian.com

http://gu.com/p/4dkt3/sbl  

At the National Chrysanthemum Society’s annual show in northern Virginia, a steady stream of visitors discovered an alternative world of mums – blooms of rare size, colour and form. “Wow,” announced one visitor. “Can I get these at Home Depot?” No, sir, you cannot.

The mum show has been a rite of autumn for generations – the sort of small-town subject that would have appealed to Norman Rockwell – but how much longer it can survive is an open question. Exhibition chrysanthemums are not endangered, but the demanding hobby of raising them is under threat as the ranks of fanciers fade away. The blooms range from delicate, threadlike flowers suggesting spreading tentacles of coral, to enormous globes of featherlike petals.

But consider this: the show’s blue-ribbon sweepstakes winner, David Eigenbrode, is 82; Robert Howell, the runner-up, is 84. In a decade or two, the hobby “is either not going to exist or continue to limp along”, said John Capobianco, whose local society in Long Island once boasted 100 members and shows of a thousand blooms. It is now down to 13 members who work hard to exhibit 100 flowers.

“We are afraid, honestly, that growing chrysanthemums for show is going to become a lost art,” said Pat Stockett Johnston, a hobbyist from southern California. “I would be embarrassed to tell you how many chapters we have lost in the past 13 years, perhaps close to 20.”

Johnston, 74, became the national society’s new president during its recent show and annual gathering. The society has approximately 500 members, compared with 2,400 members in the early 1980s, said Galen Goss, the group’s director of management services.

Pat Stockett Johnson, National Chrysanthemum Society, fears that growing these flowers is quickly becoming a lost art.

The anxieties of the chrysanthemum world are shared by the remaining active members of other flower and plant societies throughout the US, including those for roses, camellias, daffodils, dahlias and hostas, to name a few.

Traditionally, such local societies would attract members in their 30s who joined to get access to prized varieties, attend monthly meetings, receive growing advice from the old lions, and learn how to groom their flowers for competitive shows. Many societies formed before and after the second world war, when fewer women juggled careers with families, life was slower-paced, distractions fewer and interests simpler.

Apart from the modern career and parenting pressures for millennials, many have moved into cities. They don’t have the land to plant bulbs or cultivate flower beds, and much of their life involves screens.

In the new social universe of the 21st century, plant societies are trying to plug into Facebook and other social media to reach young people, but they recognise that their oldest and most knowledgeable members aren’t comfortable with the likes of Instagram.

Participation in all manner of leagues, clubs and other civically cohesive groups has been declining for years, but what makes the flower society demise more poignant is that expert flower-growing requires a mentor-student relationship that is inherently intergenerational, said Sherry Turkle, the MIT researcher who has written extensively about technology and society.

“Young people are talking so much about nature, conservation, the Earth, and yet I fear that the easiest way to do that is to participate online,” she said. Implicit in such plant societies is a connection not just to the minutiae of nature but to other people’s lives.

“Young people are suffering from not having natural conversations with older people,” Turkle said. “They don’t know how to have empathetic conversations about the arc of human life, because they are not talking to older people.”

Since 2012, a coalition of plant societies has met annually to confront membership woes, with the help of the American Horticultural Society. At the chrysanthemum show, the horticultural society’s executive director, Tom Underwood, and American Dahlia Society activist Harry Rissetto made presentations on ways to revive membership.

In sum, the advice mirrors the counsel any legacy enterprise must hear these days to survive: have a dynamic website full of great content, exploit social media and create the infrastructure for online transactions. “But the bottom line,” Underwood said, “is the focus on people and relationships.”

One tactic is to send people who don’t renew their membership a letter asking them if they meant to drop it, Rissetto said. “We have a lot of older members and they simply forget.”

Planet BotanicBLOOM

In the past two years, two chrysanthemum clubs have been created, one in Raleigh, North Carolina, the second in the Bay Area of California. The former was established by Joan Matthews, a 65-year-old retired teacher who says effective recruiting can be done at garden-related events and venues. The North Carolina State Fair was one such place; another was her garden in downtown Raleigh. “When they saw how they looked in my yard, they said they wanted to grow them,” she said.

Jeff MacDonald, 59, started the Bay Area chapter in 2013 by handwriting letters to people who were lapsed members of the national society in his area. He met five of them at a restaurant and, after reviving the club, they recruited more at a garden centre. Most of the current 49 members are Asian – exhibition mums have deep roots in China and Japan.

Howell, runner-up at the chrysanthemum show and a longtime grower, could be found a week before the show in his Beltsville, Maryland, backyard with protege Polo Diaz, who, at 49, is the youngest member of the Potomac Chrysanthemum Society. Diaz is a landscaper who noticed Howell’s blooms while working in the neighbourhood four years ago. When Diaz asked about them, the octogenarian took the younger man under his wing, giving him cuttings to pot up in the spring and grow through the summer.

Another encouraging presence at the show were the prizewinning blooms grown by middle school students from Canton, North Carolina, whose entries were driven to Fairfax by their (now retired) biotechnology teacher, David Curtis. The problem is that once the students hit high school, horticulture isn’t offered, he said.

Capobianco, who was standing nearby, said his hope is that if teenagers are introduced to growing flowers, they will return to them later in life after the distractions of young adulthood. The question is: will there be a local or national society for them to return to?

For a while, such fears were put aside as growers and visitors alike savoured the spectacle of the exhibition flower.

In her pep talks to her new members, Matthews tells them: “It’s not just about what you get but what you give. You’re giving these plants the ability to take your breath away, the ability to exist.”

Breathless admiration has been the reaction since the first show in the United States. “It was in 1884 in Massachusetts,” Howell said. “I wasn’t there.”
