Dear Friends,

As of this writing, Birmingham has had abundant rainfall for 2009� All vestiges of the prior years’ droughts are gone and we’re very lush� While heavy rains bring their own suite of problems such as path erosion, fungal disease increases, and work delays, most of our plants deal with these conditions better than the other extreme� Soil moisture is deep now, meaning our typically spotty summer rains will be more effective� Ample rain should also give our local potable water supply a break, as fewer people ought to be irrigating their gardens and lawns�

The Gardens’ new master plan, which will be ready for unveiling this fall, weaves together themes of water conservation, stormwater management, rainwater harvesting and collections development� Precipitation here is extremely variable, as the past 10 years have pointedly illustrated, and we must take steps to help ourselves through the lean times by managing water wisely when things are flush (no pun intended)�

Along with expanding numbers of drought-tolerant species, our best collections development opportunities are increasing our focus on southeastern native plants, specifically those from Alabama� Why? We need to brag a little about our rich floral diversity (9th highest in the nation) and The Gardens needs to do more to promote it� Plus, over the millennia, our native plants have evolved to deal with unpredictable rain, debilitating drought, extreme heat and humidity, and the occasional cold snap� There are many lessons to learn from how (and where) plants live in the wild and how they

can be incorporated into the built environment, improving the places where people live, work and play� We can help teach those lessons�

See you in The Gardens,Fred SpicerExecutive Director

Garden Explorations –

Another Successful Year

If you visited The Gardens during the week of June 15, you would have noticed hundreds of children participating in activities (see cover photograph)� These are some of the many education programs at The Gardens�

The Garden Explorations program is designed for elementary school children ages 6-12 enrolled in the City of Birmingham’s Park & Recreation Centers' summer activities�

During the week-long period, each child learns the basics of ecology and plant science including plant-animal interdependency, plant structure, and growth and pollination� They learn through hands-on experiences, such as propagating their own plants to take home to grow and nurture�

For most participants, it is their first visit to The Gardens� Garden Explorations is a free program funded by the Hess Foundation� Over 300 students participated this year and more than 2,000 since the program’s beginning�

If you are interested in learning more about the Gardens Explorations program or other education programs at The Gardens, contact 205�414�3958�

In 1810, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) wrote to a friend, “We are all doubtless bound to contribute a certain portion of our income to the support of charitable and other use-ful public institutions�” To Jefferson, it was not a question of whether he should contribute, but rather how best to do it� Besieged by a “multitude of applications… from every quarter of the Union on behalf of academies, churches, missions, hospitals [and] charitable establishments,” he rea-soned that it was best to donate “to the institutions within our own reach, under our own eye�” *

We at Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens realize that you, like Jefferson, have received many requests from worthy causes� We want to thank you for choosing to sup-port The Gardens in these challenging economic times� Whether you are a regular customer at the Spring and Fall Plant Sales, a sponsor or committee member for the up-coming Antiques at The Gardens, or a new or renewing member, we welcome your investment in us and, thus, in our community�

We invite you to visit The Gardens this summer to see your gifts at work� Follow the children from the Birming-ham Park and Recreation Board program on their Garden Explorations� Meet our Rotary intern, Steve Kennedy, or talk with Curator of the Kaul Wildflower Garden, Patrick Daniel� Watch Horticultural Therapist Susan Grimes teach visitors from Children’s Hospital to pot plants� Seek advice from the Herb Army, other plant society members, our

Birmingham Botanical Gardens' annual Spring Plant Sale was the most successful of all time� Here are some of highlights:

More than $265,000 raised;•Nearly 7,400 attended;•More than 85,000 plants sold�•

Spring Plant Sale proceeds benefit Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens' edu-cation programs and activities� Some of these programs include Discovery Field Trips, Children's Summer Workshops, Adult & Family Classes and Horticultural Therapy� Last year more than 10,000 school children were able to take advantage of free Discovery Field Trips to learn about science and nature� A special thank you goes out to all of our Spring Plant Sale volunteers!

gardening staff or our library� We want to show you that we are using your funds wisely to make a positive impact on the citizens of Birmingham and Alabama�

Thank you again for supporting Birmingham Botanical Gardens, a local “charitable establishment” which belongs to all of us and, as Jefferson recommended, is within reach and under your watchful eye�

Lenore DurlacherCarolyn Snow, Volunteer Coordinator

Now and then you meet people who just stand out in a crowd� Lenore is one of those people—a life-long learner with loads of personality and multiple interests, abilities, and talents� She hasan affinity for painting and has taught the adult painting classes “One Stroke Note Cards” and “The Japanese Gates” at Birmingham Botanical Gardens� Her hand-painted ornaments adorned the White House Christmas tree during Bill Clinton’s and

George Bush’s presidencies and also decorated the Library of Congress Christmas tree�

Lenore lived in New Jersey until she was 35 years old� Then she lived in Louisiana, later in Carmel, California, and finally, in Birmingham, Alabama� Wildlife from Double Oak Mountain frequently visits her wooded back yard in Eagle Point� She wanted to keep it natural, so she set out to learn which plants to plant, preserve or discard� In 1999, she began volunteering in the The Gardens’ library, in the wildflower garden, and in the rose garden. She discovered that wild blueberries and red bud trees were growing on her property� She had never seen a red bud tree before she moved to Alabama� With the help of her two dogs, she began to “evergreen” her wooded property with “random” plantings� Wherever the dogs dug holes, she planted evergreen trees�

Lenore is also a mother and grandmother� Her son is an attorney with Burr & Forman in Atlanta and she has a grandson and granddaughter ages seven and five. Lenore is a member of the Alabama Guild of Decorative Artists� She began volunteering as a substitute, but became a regular library volunteer about three years ago� You will find her in the library from 9- 1p�m� every Wednesday�

If you are interested in volunteering, please call Carolyn Snow, Volunteer Coordinator at 205�414�3962 or csnow@bbgardens�org�

All I can say is WOW; this is my new favorite book� It has everything a southern gardener could possibly want from a book including color pictures and easy to read and understand information� It has something for all levels of gardener, from the beginner to the expert� I found the information on each particular plant to be thorough and informative with each heading having very detailed information, characteristics, growing conditions, planting and maintenance� They have also gone so far as to include a key of symbols for each plant to let you know if it; attracts butterflies, attracts hummingbirds, attracts birds, is a southern native, lives on rainwater, is deer resistant� I just cannot think of anything they left out� Being a librarian, who has easy access to gardening books, I don’t normally buy books but I must own this book to keep at home as a reference� I think you will be just as thrilled with this book as I am, so please come by the library and check it out�

Gardening Tips for July and August

JulyProtect figs and other ripening fruit from birds.•

Continue to root shrub cuttings until late in the • month and mulch to keep soil moist.

Remove faded blooms promptly from crape myrtle • and other summer-blooming plants.

In lawns, watch for diseases. Mow regularly, and • water as needed.

Keep roses healthy and actively growing.•

Apply fertilizer as needed. Wash off foliage to • prevent burning if any fertilizer falls on plants.

Water annuals and perennials as needed to keep • plants active.

Iris and spider lily bulbs may be planted late this • month.

Keeping flowers, shrubs, trees, and lawns healthy • is the major task this month. This demands close observation for insects and diseases, and frequent watering.

Plant beans, field peas, rutabagas, squash, • New Zealand spinach, and Irish potatoes. Plant cabbage, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and celery for the fall crop.

Plant tomatoes in Central and North Alabama.•

augustCut out old blackberry canes after fruiting and • then fertilize and cultivate for replacement canes. Remember to order new catalogs for fruit selection.

Layer branches of hydrangea. •

Hybrid teas and floribundas may need slight • pruning to prevent scraggly appearance.

Water annuals and perennials as needed to keep • plants active.

Plant perennials and biennials. •

Divide old iris plantings and add new bulbs.•

Keeping flowers, shrubs, trees, and lawns healthy • is the major task during this month. This means close observation for insects and diseases.

Plant turnips, rutabagas, beans, and peas in South • Alabama.

Plant cabbage, collards, cauliflower, Brussels • sprouts, broccoli, and celery.

Good Things Growing…In The GardensFred Spicer, Executive Director

This column focuses on hardy woody and her-baceous perennial plants with good ornamental interest (typically flowers) during July and August. Late summer is by far the toughest assignment be-cause of the relative paucity of blooms on anything but annuals� However, a hosta your grandmother knew as August lily is an August gem; botanically, it’s Hosta plantaginea� Plantain-leaf hosta is another common name�

The unusual bloom time is not the only big differ-ence between this and other hostas. First, the flow-ers are huge, up to 6” long on the species, the larg-est of any hosta� Second, they’re also fragrant, the only such species� Third, they open in late afternoon and remain so through the night; other hostas open in the morning and close at dusk� Fourth, they hail from southern China; most hosta species hail from Japan and Korea�

‘Royal Standard’ (above, from the McReynold’s Garden), is the most popular H. plantaginea cultivar� It boasts the same green leaves and heat-loving, large-growing constitution as the species (which is not widely available), but with smaller, 3-4” long, abundant, fragrant flowers (right). The double-flowered cultivar ‘Aphrodite’ is beautiful but slow growing. I grew it without trouble in New Jersey, but according to Plant Delights Nursery, it is difficult to grow in the south as it demands cooler nights for successful flowering. ‘Venus’ is a new double-double form; my research did not uncover any information on southern adaptability�

Being the only fragrant hosta species, H. plantag-inea has been crucial for introducing that trait into hybrids� A few worth mentioning are (in no order) ‘Honeybells’, ‘Fragrant Bouquet’ (creamy-variegat-ed), ‘Diana Remembered’ (white variegated) and ‘Guacamole’ (left)� See a complete fragrant list at http://www�plantdelights�com/Tony/fraghosta�html� The cultivar ‘Grandiflora’ (also listed as var. grandi-flora), with smaller flowers than the species, is now known as Hosta plantiginea var� japonica, and is similar to ‘Royal Standard’� BBG’s largest hosta display is along the Hosta Walk, above the Ireland Iris Garden�
