Ex Libris
By Joan Pollard and Virginia Cherry,
GCV Kent-Valentine House Library Committee
The Petersburg Garden Club

isa Mason Ziegler, a noted and successful Virginia cutflower farmer, has donated her latest book, COOL
FLOWERS: How to Grow and Enjoy Long-Blooming

Hardy Annual Flowers Using Cool Weather Techniques, to the


GCV library. Her techniques are easy to follow and cover
when to plant, how to prepare a healthy soil, which seeds to
plant, how to extend blooming time, and how best to harvest these lovely
flowers. Steps for ensuring a longer growing season are covered with easy-to-follow
directions and illustrations.
Her primary message is that when summer annuals have died, there are ways to
extend ones garden by planting hardy annual flowers. In Zieglers introduction, she
writes that she discovered this while pursuing her career as a cut-flower farmer. Planting
cool-season hardy annuals in the fall and early spring produces the easiest and earliestblooming garden ever. In the spring, the garden will be nothing short of sensational.
The hardy annuals need little intervention and your reward will be the most admired
garden in your neighborhood. Success with hardy annuals requires planting in the fall
to winter-over and bloom in spring with a repeat planting in the very early spring.
The Steps to Success chapter includes a diagram of the flower bed with
suggested plants. The chapter also details steps in preparing the bed, setting up for lowmaintenance, keeping the flowers tall and straight, and harvesting on a regular basis.
Her helpful hint with harvesting regularly is making a date with the garden and sticking
to it. If you plan to cut twice a week, mark your calendar for ten minutes in the garden
every Monday or Friday.
Ziegler profiles 30 of her favorite hardy annual flowers which also include some of
our favorites: bachelor buttons, black-eyed Susan, delphinium, foxglove, snapdragon,
sweet pea, and sweet William. Each hardy annual selected for inclusion is listed with
a description, beautiful color photographs, facts for growing, tips for easy success and
continuous blooming and winter strategies.

A Winter Surprise
By Linda Reynolds, GCV Horticulture Committee
The Warrenton Garden Club

ellebores should be a part of every garden. They are easy to grow, deer
resistant, and bloom when the garden is at its most monotone, or should we
say monotonous? Christmas rose and Lenten rose are the common names for
the best known hellebores. Depending upon the severity of the winter, they can begin
blooming just after Christmas, filling the garden with a wide range of colors from pure
white to dark purple. A mature plant can bloom for up to 10 weeks, enhanced by other
blooms of the early spring garden.
Hellebores are native to Europe, and belong to the buttercup family,
Ranunculaceae. The flower is made up of four parts sepals, petals, stamens and
carpels. What appears to be the petal is actually the sepal, similar to our native
dogwood. All hellebores flower from buds formed the previous summer. They are
pollinated by a variety of bees attracted by the colorful flower. The root system is
produced along a dense rhizome and tends to delve deep into the soil, allowing the
plant to survive drought, but also making it difficult to transplant once mature.
Hellebores tolerate both sun and shade, but prefer to avoid midday and late day
sun or deepest shade. Most soils that have been amended with organic matter are
suitable, and a pH of 7.0 is ideal. As hellebores cannot tolerate wet feet, good drainage
is essential. The only maintenance required is the pruning of old and discolored leaves
in the early spring or late winter. Hellebores, depending on the variety, are hardy from
Zones 4a to 9b.
Classification of hellebores is difficult. When purchasing for the first time, it might
be best to buy a plant in bloom or order online from a reputable breeder. The three
species most easily found at nurseries are H. foetidus, bears foot; H. orientalis, Lenten
rose; and H. niger, Christmas rose. The bears foot hellebore has bright chartreuse
flowers and usually blooms from February to March. The Lenten rose is the most
colorful and floriferous of all the species. Its three subspecies vary in color and native
range, with a variable bloom time starting in late January and continuing through April.
The Christmas rose has white flowers that open as early as January. Many species have
evergreen leaves.
Hellebores make excellent cut flowers if conditioned properly. After they have
produced pollen, they can be cut and the stems immediately plunged into scalding
water. They look particularly nice floating in a bowl, and are lovely in a spring
arrangement.
An excellent source for more information is Hellebores by C. Colston Burrell and
Judith Tyler.

The Garden Club of Virginia

The Kitchen Road Project atMonticello


By CandyCrosby, Restoration Committee
AlbemarleGarden Club

n 1768,ThomasJefferson beganlevelingthe top of the mountain where he would


build his belovedMonticello. He also built a network of roads to serve the house
and plantation. His Kitchen Road ascended from Mulberry Row to the covered
dependencies on the south side of the house that included the kitchen. This vital road
connected the working side of the house to the stables, slave dwellings, dairy and
workshops. Jefferson also designed a path that led directly from the kitchen down to
his vegetable garden. With the passage of time and the arrival of tourists, the grounds
were changed dramatically. With a generous gift from the Garden Club of Virginia,
work began in June 2014 to restore the Kitchen Road, the Kitchen Path and their
connection to Mulberry Row, thus reestablishing the landscape as it would have been
inJeffersonsday.
Meticuloushistorical andarcheologicalresearch over a period of years has
supported the work.WilliamL.Beiswanger, the former Robert H. Smith Director
of Restoration atMonticello, uncovered many important clues in the historical
record. The excavations and field work conducted by thearcheologicalstaff headed by

DirectorFraserNeimanhave contributed to understanding the exact location of the


roads and paths. These findings have been used byWilliamD.Rieley, the Garden Club
of Virginia landscape architect, to develop the construction drawings for the project.
Modern brick stairs, 1930s era parking spaces, a long run ofprivetand
other shrubbery have been removed, opening up what Jefferson referred to as his
sea view, a broad expanse of thePiedmontplain. As one ascends the road, the
beauty of the house is no longer obscured, but beguiles the visitor as Jefferson
intended. Mulberry Row is now properly aligned from the eastern stable to the
west end. Mr.Rieley, in consultation with structural engineer DanHotek, designed
an ingenious flight of steps for the historic location of the Kitchen Path. These
steps will need no footings, thus preserving the valuablearcheologicalrecord
in place below them. Virginia Cast Stone inWaynesborofabricated the steps,
andHaley,Chisholm&MorrisofCharlottesvilleinstalled them.
Mulberry trees will be planted this fall as a continuation of those already in place
along Mulberry Row. Imagine Mr. Jefferson dismounting at the stable, handing the
reins to his trustedhostler,WormleyHughes, and walking up Mulberry Row.With this
careful restoration, the view today will be close to what he saw.

DaffodilNotes

Lessons Learned from Our Uncle Bill


By Lucy Wilson and Coates Clark
The Martinsville Garden Club

t is never too early or too late. So goes one of the many lessons learned from
Bill Pannill, said to have been the worlds leading authority on daffodils, but
affectionately known to us as Uncle Bill. Successfully growing and showing
daffodils is an attainable goal, whether one is a new or long-standing garden club
member. Hundreds of varieties are available, over 210 created by Uncle Bill.
Daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall. Uncle Bill suggested ordering five or
six bulbs of a given variety to ensure a perfect bloom for the GCV Daffodil Show. Yearround watering provides an important edge on competitors. To go the extra mile, soaker
hoses are recommended.
Keeping track of the names of daffodils can cause confusion. Uncle Bill suggested
they be planted in rows in raised beds, and that each row be labeled. A careful diagram
should be drawn and filed until the blooms appear.
Uncle Bill infected people with yellow fever. In our family alone, the number
includes us, another niece, Jane Vaughan, Hillside Garden Club, and our husbands.
Uncle Bill delighted in mentoring novices and coaching exhibitors. A fond memory is
remembering Uncle Bill take a novice under his wing and guide her through the process
of exhibiting her first bloom. Many people greeted and welcomed him, some in awe.
Finally the woman being helped said, Are you somebody famous? Indeed, he was
famous in the world of daffodils, and a favorite uncle, too.

Bill Pannill with his neices and nephew, (L to R):

member of the Martinsville Garden Club and honorary member of GCV; Janis
Vaughan, Hillside Garden Club; David Vaughan, honorary member of Hillside
Garden Club at the GCV Daffodil Show, White Stone, VA, 2008.

Editors Note: Bill Pannill earned international renown for the daffodil varieties
he hybridized. Over one dozen have been included in past GCV Daffodil Collections.
Look for his Intrigue and Chromocolor in the 2014 Collection.

The Garden Club of Virginia

Gardening Through Generations


By Megan Ames
The Garden Club of the Eastern Shore

recently came across a compelling article written by a mother struggling to raise


her Gen Z children in a world ruled by social media and digital devices galore.
As a mother of three young boys myself, I instantly related to the seemingly endless
challenges and opportunities that todays youth will experience as a result of technology.
Ill readily admit that as a girl, I often chose Saturday morning cartoons over a bike ride;
however, when asked to recall an early childhood sensory memory, Im transported to
the great outdoors and to my grandmothers garden. The distinct scents of her dewlaced blackberry bushes and lush potted geraniums instantly take me back 30 years to
her practical garden in suburban Northeast Ohio.
A child of the Great Depression, my grandmother was a pragmatic, creative
woman, traits I seek to emulate in my efforts to navigate todays overscheduled times.
Grandma taught me the basics of composting before the practice was widespread or
fashionable, as it is today. Her grandchildren would watch quizzically as she tossed
veggie scraps, coffee grounds and you name it into an unassuming small plastic bucket.
Whats that? my sisters and I would squeal each time she retrieved it from the freezer.
Tagging along as Grandma tended to her border gardens, I quickly caught on to
the fact that she loved growing anything the deer didnt like eating: peonies, black-eyed
Susan and rhubarb, to name a few. In her later years, she gave up roses in favor of more
self-sustaining perennials that cooperated with her travels and patience.
Now, when I enlist the help of my boys to cut peonies or ask them to gather pine
straw in the woods surrounding our home, Im reminded of my own experiences as a
young girl in Grandmas garden and how much we can teach the next generation just by
piddling about the yard. Practical, hands-on lessons cant be conveyed by a swipe on a
screen or even the most acclaimed apps. I know Im not alone in saluting the organizers
of youth gardening programs and those practicing sustainability to inform this next
generation.
For now, Ill do my
best to keep my childrens
eyes on the horizon and out
of their tablets. Ill smile
and look up to the clear
Eastern Shore sky when
my hydrangea are devoured
down to the stems yet
again. Grandma would have
staked bars of soap in the
beds to keep the deer away.
Well, theres always next
year and I have some pretty
fantastic little helpers.

LilyNotes
In the Beginning
By Mary Zocchi, ISA Vice-President the North American Lily Society
Dolley Madison Club

hen one compares the status of lily growing today with that prior to the
formation of the North American Lily Society (NALS), the progress made is
impressive. Prior to its formation, the problems with growing lilies were not
well understood. In general, failure was ascribed to cultural factors such as soil texture,
drainage, physiological problems and obvious disease infection. For the most part, this
research was carried on in a rather haphazard way and was concerned with the basic
species rather than the many hybrids that are now available.
The first important US advance in lily culture began in the early 1930s with
research fostered by the Lily Disease Fellowship. The American Horticultural Society
created a lily committee in 1937and included members from the Garden Club of
America and the Garden Club of Virginia (GCV).
In 1947, NALS was created. The GCV was particularly active in publishing
the NALS yearbooks. The first volumes were concerned with various diseases. It was
planned to have test gardens of lilies under the auspices of the garden clubs and also lily
shows organized in Fredericksburg by the GCV. Mr. L.H. MacDaniels, first president of
NALS, went to the Virginia show as a judge. He recalls that in this show there were very
few lilies. Many of the exhibits were concerned with Hemerocallis and other plants not
now recognized as lilies. The best arrangement in the show was made up of the common
roadside Hemerocallis and leaves of the southern magnolia.
GCV also sponsored a test garden for

lily cultivars. Mrs. Violet Walker chaired
the committee to test the cultivars and

Teachers on the Bay: A Transformative Experience


by Claire Evans
Eighth grade science and social studies teacher
St. Clare Walker Middle School, Locust Hill

hanks to the Garden


Club of the Middle
Peninsula, this summer
found me headed for Great
Fox Island to participate in
an environmental education
program for teachers. A bit
anxious, I asked questions of
those who know Fox, as the
islands transient inhabitants call
it. The typical response began
with a smile and a sideways
glance, then a nod from one
of the experienced to another.
Exchanges usually ended with, Just wait until you get there. I would later realize
words cannot fully capture Fox. At the time, though, consistency of the response led me
to worry that there would be hazing or that I would find myself ill-prepared for Fox.
The truth: I was ill-prepared, but not as anticipated. I knew the island would have
no electricity, that old clothes would be needed for a mud-immersion activity and that
the toilets would be of the composting variety. I also knew that we would be in the
middle of the Chesapeake Bay on an island where a former fishing lodge now houses
the Chesapeake Bay Foundations Environmental Education Center.
What I was not prepared for was the realization that Fox is a place that lives and
breathes. The space binds itself to you. You have to go back.
I consider myself environmentally minded. I appreciate how runoff and wastewater
from all corners of the 64,000-square-mile watershed affect the bay. I teach my students
and my own children the value of making good decisions for the Bay. We recycle. I
plant trees. Earth Day is a big deal.
Still, Fox fundamentally changed the way I view my role in the watersheds web.
My experiences led me to believe we cannot adequately impart the importance of our
actions without taking our students to the Bay. Students need to see it, to feel it, to
breathe it in.
The Teachers on the Bay program renewed my enthusiasm for environmental
education. It made me want to get students outside so they can get their hands dirty. I
want them to have a mental picture of what they are preserving through their everyday
efforts and maybe by taking home some sacred ground underneath their fingernails. To
get them onboard, we need to get them outside; otherwise, the Bay may exist only in
their heads, not in their hearts.
I thank the GCMPs members for sponsoring me, especially Marilyn South for her
encouragement and guidance during my first year at St. Clare Walker Middle School.
Our children are a gift, and the clubs support of their education is truly appreciated.
Editors Note: A letter of thanks from Claire Evans
to the Garden Club of the Middle Peninsula formed the basis for this article.

Mentoring, Phase II
By Ann Murchison

excuses for not wanting to create an

How might we inspire more confidence?

proved successful. There is a significant
increase in the number of members

years program involved small groups who Becky Porter of the Blue Ridge Garden Club

gathered in homes and arranged before each
meeting. Although these were very popular,
monthly mentoring sessions proved difficult to maintain.
Becky Porter, chair of our mentoring committee, will direct three sessions this
year. Seasoned arrangers will lead discussions on topics such as reading a flower
show schedule, choosing containers, materials and mechanics, and calling-up ones

questions and answers, and positive reinforcement. Refreshments are served.
Who can doubt the inspirational power of a snickerdoodle?

Club Notes
Clutter

By Ellen Papetti
The Garden Club of the Eastern Shore

lutter can be a bad thing or, as our club found out, you can make
clutter work for you. The expression one persons trash can be
another persons treasure was true at our October meeting. At the
September meeting of the Garden Club of the Eastern Shore, our speaker
discussed ways to go back to our homes and efficiently rid ourselves of clutter.
Our program committee decided to make use of that clutter; we would have an
indoor yard sale and raise money. We asked members to bring items that they
no longer used to an intra-club indoor flea market (yard sale) the next month.
There was an amazing array of containers that some of us no longer used but
obviously others found creatively inspirational. Members eagerly scooped up
books on gardening, flower arranging, entertaining and cooking. All leftovers
went to a local charity thrift shop. The camaraderie created by this little project
was great and we raised over $500, a win/win situation for clutter free GCES
gals and our community.

Fauquier Education Farm


By Margrete Stevens
The Warrenton Garden Club

he Warrenton Garden Clubs 2013


Annual Conservation Meeting
explored a number of topics
relating to the preservation of agriculture
in the county. Karen Hunsberger, from
the Piedmont Environmental Council,
described the work of the Fauquier
Education Farm (FEF), located on 10 acres
near Warrenton. The Education Farm was
created in 2010 as a non-profit organization with a dual purpose: to develop a program
on agricultural education and to grow fresh produce for local food banks.
The educational programs are conducted for established farmers, novice farmers
and residents of the community. County food banks distribute fresh produce grown
on the farm each spring and summer, supplying it to over 600 individuals and families.
In 2014, more than 15,000 tons of vegetables were distributed. Volunteers play an
important role in the success of the
Farm, working with Jim Hankins, FEF
coordinator, and the Virginia
Co-operative Extension office in

This year the WGC has been
involved in assisting with the seeding
of vegetables, after which the seed trays
are given to other volunteers for daily
care until plants are established and
ready for planting and harvesting.

When Getting Bogged Down is a Good Thing


By Carol Carter
Albemarle Garden Club

he Booker T. Washington Park Bog Garden in the heart of Charlottesville is a


unique wetland micro-habitat within a multiuse city park. At 9.25 acres, Washington Park is one of the most heavily used parks in the community. It includes
sports fields, a picnic shelter and playgrounds.
The Albemarle Garden Club (AGC) has worked in partnership with the Charlottesville City Parks for the past 14 years to enhance the Bog Garden by adding native
plant species and by battling invasive varieties. With the receipt of the GCV Bessie
Bocock Carter Conservation Award in 2014 and Garden Club of America Partners for
Plants designation, new dreams, energy and funding have infused the collaboration.
This project has the potential to make a heavily visited city park garden into a
demonstration site for what a rain garden can be in the home landscape. Its proximity
to local schools offers a field trip destination with materials for teachers to integrate a
hands-on wetlands experience into the science curriculum. As storm water mitigation
efforts across the commonwealth become increasingly important, the AGC hopes to
make this much visited bog garden well understood.
The AGC will map the area and develop seasonal materials explaining three distinct plant categories and the wildlife they support: bog/wetland, garden/meadow, and
moist woodland. The site is consistently moist due to springs, drainage seep and poor
subsoil drainage. While a true bog is characterized by persistent moisture, high acidity
and low fertility, this site has moderate acidity and moderate to high fertility due to
run-off.
The installation of interpretative signs is underway and the city has committed to
completing necessary tree work, boardwalk repair and plant acquisition. The AGC is
rolling up its sleeves and donning boots to continue the removal of invasive species and
the addition of native plants to support pollinators and birds that visit the habitat. The
local chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists is joining the campaign and plans are being
made to develop educational materials and to publicize these improvements to the
park within the school system and at the park catchment area. A kiosk is also planned
to house an educational display that can be rotated to highlight seasonally prominent
plants and wildlife.
The Bessie Bocock Carter Conservation Award has stimulated AGCs and City
Parks efforts to expand community
outreach and school education.
We believe that the Bog Garden,
coupled with educational materials,
will serve as a catalyst for increased
conservation through understanding
of this specific wildlife habitat and
the demonstration of suitable plant
choices for the home garden with a
moist spot.
