PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Chambersburg Garden Club Members, My first year as your President has certainly passed quickly! I have learned even more about this club and its operations. Attending the District IV meetings has been another avenue of knowledge about policies and procedures. I have also heard about other programs from the club presidents. Thank you for the support you gave me during my first year. I truly appreciate everyone coming together and working on the 80th Daffodil Show. Since this club adopted the daffodil as the club flower in 1931, it would be a shame not to continue recognizing the daffodil in some fashion. As we begin my final year as your President, I encourage you to look at your Yearbook and the wonderful programs your Yearbook Committee has arranged. The Yearbook Committee has put a great deal of thought into each area we must cover as a federated club. I thank those club members who came forward with ideas for programs. We have had good participation in our club activities, but I would like to see more members enjoying what our club has to offer. We have been fortunate to pick up seven new members who received an orientation prior to joining our club. Having orientation first is a good idea and I hope it will continue for each new member. This is your Garden Club and I look forward to seeing you at our meetings throughout 2017.

Fondly, Holly Kadel President, Chambersburg Garden Club

BRINGING NATURE HOME

The Importance of Home Gardens

Beyond the enhanced benefits of home food production and added worth to property values, suburban landscapes are becoming the lifelines for plants and animals that have lost their native habitat to development. As development continues wildlife is forced to depend upon our human-dominated landscapes for their continued survival.

The history of home gardens reflects a philosophy of building beautiful surroundings, a chance to express artistic talents with design and creating areas for fun and relaxation. Recent trends now focus on including native plants and design to provide refuge for wildlife.

Statistics bear out the significant increase in population and the millions of acres each year that are taken from native habitat for housing, commercial and industrial uses. Along with these numbers research shows that song birds and meadow birds are in great decline and are no longer found in areas that used to support healthy populations.

How can home landscapes support the biodiversity of plants, animals and insects?

Plant native species. Thousands of scientific studies prove that they are critical as they are the start of the larger food web by supporting insect species that have shared evolutionary history with them. Using plant species from Asia and Europe, while beautiful and ornamental, deprives our native insects of the food sources they need. Support of healthy insect populations that feed most of our birds as well as spiders, amphibians, and reptiles is crucial.

Support pollinators. Add host and nectar plants and use appropriate gardening practices. Choosing plants that support pollinators is only one half of the equation. Herbicides and insecticides must be used appropriately.

Reduce lawn areas. Convert lawn areas by adding native trees and understory plants to your landscape. This can be along the perimeter of a property or small areas throughout the property.

Support wildlife. Provide food, water and shelter throughout the year.

CIVIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT

Chambersburg Garden Club’s primary civic project is maintenance of the Fragrance, Colonial and Japanese gardens which were established in 1976 in the exercise yard of the Old Jail. This historic building was preserved from demolition by the efforts of the Kittiochtinny Historical Society. Their offices and museum are housed in the building itself. Their operating hours provide access to the gardens through a back door. A visit from our sister city Gotemba, Japan, in 2015 prompted extensive edging and mulching which has made this year’s work easier. As with most aging gardens huge growth of certain shrubs and trees need constant pruning. We seek professional help for that. The advancing age and declining abilities of our members is aided by a gentleman gardener whose fees are nominal and whose truck and trips to the dump are provided cheerfully. He works in conjunction with us at the Old Jail gardens and helps in several of our home gardens as well. Equally important and much more visible are our efforts at Chambersburg Memorial Park. Once again bright daffodils and tulips highlighted these gardens at both entrances this spring. Following edging and mulching in May, the new perennials planted last year, including some natives and pollinators, began blooming in a gradually changing array of color through the season. Every time we have worked in the gardens people have stopped to tell us how much they enjoy and appreciate the park beds and flowers – a welcome reward for the club’s civic efforts.
