WASHINGTON IRVING’S SUNNYSIDE
On ten bucolic acres overlooking the Hudson River, Sunnyside was the home of American author Washington Irving. With its jagged crow-stepped gable and wisteria-covered entrance, the Cottage was originally built in 1690 as a two-room stone tenant farmhouse, then called “Wolfert’s Roost.”
Irving, who lived much of his adult life as a guest in other people’s homes, traveling and writing in Europe, fell in love with the property when he was visiting a nephew in Tarrytown. He described it in a letter as “a beautiful spot, capable of being made a little paradise.” In 1835, he purchased Wolfert’s Roost and its surrounding riverfront prop-erty for $1,800. He wrote, “I have an architect and shall build this summer. My idea is to make a little nookery somewhat in the Dutch style, quaint, but unpretending...”
Irving’s neighbor, English-born painter George Harvey, became his aesthetic collabo-rator and foreman in the Cottage’s renova-tion, which was based on architecture Irving admired on his travels. The result, renamed Sunnyside, has been described as “a three-dimensional autobiography with Dutch Colonial, Scottish Gothic, and Tudor Revival influences.” Irving landscaped the grounds to reflect his romantic view of art, nature, and history, arranging vistas, garden paths, water features, trees and shrubs to appear natural. He planted the wisteria vine that still envelops the Cottage.
In 1842, when Irving was appointed Ambas-sador to the Court of Isabella II of Spain, he wrote, “The only drawback is the hard
trial of tearing myself away from dear little Sunnyside.” Returning to New York in 1846, he added the Spanish Tower, inspired by the Alhambra in Granada, which included four bedrooms for family members and his many guests. The property was widely known even at the time, appearing in magazines and guidebooks. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, “Next to Mount Vernon, Sunnyside is the best known and most cherished of all the dwellings in our land.”
Irving spent his final years at Sunnyside—writing, socializing, and maintaining correspondence. Family members lived in the Cottage until 1945, when John D. Rockefeller, Jr. purchased the property. It was restored and opened to the public in 1947 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962.
Washington Irving’s Sunnyside is now a museum operated by Historic Hudson Valley. The writer’s study, dining room, parlor, kitchen, and most bedrooms are open to the public and contain many origi-nal pieces. Since many of the furnishings remained in the family, a visit is an authentic experience of 19th-century American life.

GARDEN CLUB of IRVINGTON-on-HUDSON
The Garden Club of Irvington-on-Hudson is proud of its 85-year history in the Rivertowns of the lower Hudson Valley. It held its first meeting in 1930. In 1936, the club was invited to join The Garden Club of America, enabling the membership to cooperate with other GCA clubs on local and national programs and issues. From the original twenty charter members, the club now has a capacity for sixty actives and associates.
A strong interest in horticulture intensified in 1956 when Lord and Burnham donated a small greenhouse on its Irvington water-front property to the club. The popular greenhouse activities were later moved to one of the propagating sheds at Lynd-hurst. In this historic location, members propagate plants and seeds for their own gardens, flower shows, GCA’s Zone III Plant Exchange, and the club’s Plant Sale and Garden Fair held each May.
A principal project has been maintenance of the Rose Garden at Lyndhurst. Restora-tion efforts began in 1968 and merited the
GCA Jane Righter Rose Medal in 1996. Club members work, teach, and learn in this magnificent setting. Every year, the public is invited to a rose pruning demonstration in late March and to Rose Day in June.
The club has been involved in many civic projects, beginning in 1932 with the landscaping of Irvington’s Memorial Park. Virtually every public site in Irvington has at some time been designed and/or planted by club members. The club also supports local and national conservation activities through active participation, donations, speakers, and projects. It has educated the public about composting, native plants, invasive species, and littering. More recent-ly, the club installed botanical labels on the trees in Irvington’s Scenic Hudson Park as part of the GCA Centennial Tree Project.
The Garden Club of Irvington-on-Hudson is currently working with the Untermyer Garden Conservancy in Yonkers. The club was a finalist for the GCA Founders’ Fund Award and received a monetary prize to help restore the Temple of Love there. GCI members will be assisting with the plantings around the water features, and also serve as docents, leading tours of the Untermyer Gardens.

SECTION E SPECIAL CLASSESCLASS 40
Children’s Class: The Imaginary World of Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Rip Van Winkle was beloved by children. “(They) would shout with joy whenever he approached … clambering on his back and playing a thousand tricks on him.” Washington Irving peopled his stories—read to delighted children through the ages— with specters, ghosts, and the intimation of a spiritual realm.
The Garden Club of Irvington-on-Hudson presents this class in collaboration with the children’s librarian at the Irvington Public Library.
A Fairy House and Garden in a container not to exceed 14" in any dimension.
For this special class, GCI members and library staff will instruct children 8 to 12 years old on the project, which is to create fairy houses with gardens in containers, using plants and flowers supplied by the committee, objects found in nature, and craft items.
The completed containers will be judged as a class and as individual entries.
Note: In April, 2016, in conjunction with the Flower Show, the Irvington Public Library will mount an exhibit of Washington Irving’s literature and life. Children will be encouraged to read Irving’s stories and gather information about his life. They will also be encouraged to visit Sunnyside for a tour.

16. If a photograph is to be returned, the exhibitor must provide a self-addressed envelope and a check for $12 payable to the Garden Club of Irvington, with packing material. Any award received will be noted on the back of the mount before it is returned.
Note: It is recommended to use two 15" x 19" padded envelopes. Please do not use boxes.
Wrap your image between two suitable pieces of foam-core or non-bendable cardboard, which will be reused for return. Place wrapped image, folded self-addressed envelope, and check inside the mailing envelope.

DIVISION IV CONSERVATION & EDUCATION EXHIBIT “PLANT THIS, NOT THAT”
The importance of native plants to the health of our ecosystems is increasingly recog-nized by gardeners. Plants in each ecological zone co-evolved over millions of years with insects and other animal species, forming a balance between plant defenses and animal adaptations to those defenses. In recent generations—as gardeners have favored non-native plant species—insects and birds that depend upon insects as their primary food source have struggled to find sustenance. Most native insects cannot survive on non-native plant species. Increasing the number of native plants in our gardens increases food sources for insects and enables songbirds to find the necessary food for their young.
So, which plants are native? How do we include them in our gardens?
Native plants for our area are those species that were indigenous to the Northeastern United States before European colonists began settling here.
The Conservation and Education Exhibit, entitled “Plant This, Not That,” gives gardeners native alternatives to popular non-native garden plants. In a photo slide show and with printed handouts, the exhibit identifies native trees, shrubs, and perennials to know and grow. All the recommended species may be found in local nurseries and easily incorpo-rated into local gardens.
Because these plants are native to our region, they also tend to be hardier and less subject to disease than many non-native choices. Substituting natives for non-natives, or just adding more native species to existing plantings, will increase food sources for pollinators and the insects that are necessary to sustain our native bird populations.Note: The Conservation and Education Exhibit will be judged according to Section XVIII on page 215 of the FS&JG, 2015 Edition.
GCA FLOWER SHOW AWARDS
GCA Flower Show Awards described below have been applied for and will be presented if merited.
Division I, Floral DesignTHE DOROTHY VIETOR MUNGER AWARD may be awarded to members of Garden Club of America clubs in competitive Floral Design classes at a GCA Flower Show. It is offered in recognition of creative work of outstanding beauty using predominantly fresh plant material. The design must have placed first, second, or third. Challenge class entries are not eligible. The award is not a substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the judges.
THE HARRIET DEWAELE PUCKETT CREATIVITY AWARD may be awarded to members of GCA clubs or non-members in recognition of a uniquely skillful and creative response to an imaginative schedule in Floral Design. It will be given for an innovative and interpretive entry, which, although it abides by the principles of good design, goes beyond traditional period arrangement to whatever art form the exhibitor(s) chooses. The design must have placed first, second, or third in the Floral Design Division of a GCA Flower Show. An entry in any challenge class is not eligible to receive this award. The award is not a substitute for Best in Show and will be given at the discretion of the judges.
THE SANDRA BAYLOR NOVICE FLORAL DESIGN AWARD may be given at a GCA Flower Show to an exhibitor who is a member of a GCA club and who has never won first place, or a GCA Special Award in the Floral Design Division of a GCA Flower Show, GCA Major Flower Show or Sanctioned Non GCA Major Flower Show. It shall be awarded to an individual novice exhibitor for a unique and skillful response to the schedule. Novice entries placing first, second, or third in any competitive class, including challenge classes, are eligible for this award.
Division II, HorticultureTHE CATHERINE BEATTIE MEDAL is to be awarded for a horticulture entry distinguished by its vibrancy, prime condition, and perfection of grooming. The exhibitor must have owned and grown the exhibit for at least six months. The medal may be awarded for a single plant, collection of plants, container garden, or cut specimen, but only if there is an exhibit worthy of the honor. It may be awarded to members of GCA clubs only; individual, joint, and club entries are eligible. The award should not be considered as a substitute for Best in Show. The medal may not be awarded to the same exhibit more than once; however, offspring of a Beattie winner are eligible to receive the award.

The dates and method of propagation must be recorded on the entry card. The entry must have placed first, second, or third at a GCA Flower Show. The award may not be given to the same exhibit more than once.
THE ROSIE JONES HORTICULTURE AWARD may be presented to a horticulture entry of exceptional visual appeal that reflects the spirit of growing with joy and enthusiasm and inspires others to propagate, grow, show and share horticulture. An exhibit that has been propagated by the exhibitor will be given special consideration but propagation is not a requirement. Perfection, while always desirable, is not a primary criterion. This award cel-ebrates the ineffable joy inherent in the beauty and pursuit of horticulture.
