From the PresidentDear Fellow Neighbors,

Calling all of our Ashbury gardeners and landscapeaficionado’s. We are looking to resurrect our Buildingand Grounds Committee and are in need of some

volunteers who would like to participate in landscape planning,and even help with “dead heading” some plants while enjoyinggetting some sun at the pool. If interested, please contact ourmanagement company.

Those of you who have been to the pool lately may recallseeing some cones in the shallow end keeping swimmers away. Itappears that we have some peeling of the surface covering on ourpool floor in these areas. In order to remedy this, we may need toclose the pool for a day in the beginning of August. In an effort tominimize any inconvenience to you, we will try to close it afterdinner on a week night and then re-open it the followingafternoon. The pool management company will post notices inadvance of the day that we choose to make these repairs.

This is the final full month for you to enjoy the pool!Remember, on school days, the pool will not open until 4 pm.Since our Movie Night was rained out, we will have 2 Movie Nightsthis month on August 3rd and August 24th. There will be one finalFloat Night on August 10th, and we will continue to have wateraerobics at the pool on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Also, if you are having any work done to the outside of yourhouse which involves construction materials—this includes newpatios, driveways, roofs, painting/staining, fencing andmailboxes—you need to first obtain architectural approval. Theform to request the approval is on our website atwww.ashburyofnaperville.com and you should provide us with asmuch detail as you can when you submit your request.

As we mentioned last month, the Board approved establishingan Ashbury Race Committee and we are looking forward toresuming the running of the Ashbury 5K, as well as creating thefirst ever Kids’ Triathlon in Ashbury. If you are interested in servingon this Committee, please contact our new Race CommitteeChairperson, Gwen Bauer, who’s contact information is listed onpage 5 in this newsletter.

Finally, a reminder that school will start again later this month.Please remember to leave a few minutes early in the mornings anddrive slowly while in the subdivision as there are quite a numberof children that will be walking or riding bicycles to school.

Regards, Ari Rosenthal

What is your definition of a cutting garden? Do

you envision rows of colorful daisies or

beautiful roses in bloom? Maybe you have

cut irises and lilacs fresh from your yard in the spring,

bringing them indoors to brighten up your home. The

Growing Place Landscape Designer, Mary

Saba and The Growing Place Aurora

Perennial Team Lead, Joannie

Rocchi bring a combined

wealth of knowledge and

expertise to spur your own

creativity with flower

arranging year round.

First, walk your yard.

Ignore the to‐do list

running through your

head, replacing it with

a new perspective. Ask

yourself what you have

and how can you make it

work. You will see your

yard in a completely new

light.

For instance, there is a lower branch

hanging from the juniper tree. Those willow

branches are long and curly. Some of those hosta leaves

are big enough to use as serving platters. The Rudbeckia

are in bloom and could be groomed.

Get the picture? Mary says the first thing about design is

form, texture and color. Joannie adds that it all starts

with the vessel, the container you are going to use. Will

you choose that little rock, a Styrofoam tree or

grandma’s crystal?

Cutting gardens aren’t just roses and daisies anymore.

Mary and Joannie draw inspiration from some of the top

names in floral design and follow the latest trends, such

as succulents. They can be mixed in containers with

annuals and perennials, and give new life to broken pots

and cracked birdbaths. Not your typical cutting

arrangement, succulents can be cut and beautifully

displayed on wreaths. The door is wide open when it

comes to flower arrangements today.

Mary reminds us that years

ago, cutting flowers were

needed that would

hold up from the

cutting fields to the

florist to the vase.

The rose had to

be a tight bud

vase in order to

hold up and

open in the vase.

We are way

beyond that now.

We have jets

bringing flowers

from South America.

We have floral additives.

We have a huge assortment

of foliage and flowers to choose

from right in our own backyard and

thousands more grown locally at The Growing Place.

So get excited and be spontaneous. Anything goes with

floral containers, any combination. Planted containers

require the same growing conditions, but even these can

be spruced up with cut leaves and flowers stuck in the

dirt. Think of form, shape and texture as well as color

for your design. Use leaves, stems, foliage, buds and

seeds along with flowers. Joannie experiments when

designing. Some things work wonderfully and some

things don’t. “I get enthusiastic and never stop learning,”

she says.
