Open January 2 with regular winter hours Horticultural Treasures: Living Gifts By Steve Campbell Seasonal change is one of the many exciting draws for me in the nursery industry. There is always something new happening, such as the first brilliant leaves of Japanese Maples in spring or the festive colors of Crape Myrtle in the summer. Or how about the delicious fragrance of the first roses to bloom in the spring? Even in December the nursery offers many horticultural treasures that are perfect gifts that can be enjoyed and remembered by friends and family for years to come. One of the classics is Winter Daphne. It blooms late December through February. A small shrub that does best in morning sun and afternoon shade, it produces clusters of waxy, cream colored fragrant flowers. I have seen it most successfully grown in terracotta or wood containers which can be set by your entrance way or patio so you can enjoy the sweet fragrance. Many varieties of citrus show off their ripening fruit during the early months of winter. Lemons, oranges, kumquats, tangerine and Satsuma mandarins to name a few. When most plants are dormant citrus is in its true glory. Camellias in all shapes and sizes are just beginning the long bloom season. Glossy green foliage abound with rounded buds are the perfect backdrop to large showy open flowers. Rose, roses, roses…weather permitting we receive several thousand roses the week before Christmas. Even though they are dormant, we plant them up into biodegradable pulp pots for easy planting. We will do a complimentary foil wrap and bow to make a colorful gift presentation. Dormancy can be dramatic especially when it comes to Coral Bark Maples and Red Twig Dogwoods. Both are small trees that display their beautiful red branches during the coldest days of winter. They are a great gift for the gardening connoisseur! Alden Lane Nursery is one of the Bay Area’s best kept secrets. Come and enjoy our peaceful setting under the oak trees. Our staff will be very glad to help you find a horticultural treasure, a living gift. Not To Be Forgotten or Missed This Holiday Season!!! The Gift Shop’s Flower Fairy Collection These darling resin figurines were inspired by Cicely Mary Barker, the author of the Flower Fairy book series. Nursery owner, Jacquie, and her husband, Tom, saw them in England this summer and wanted to make them available here. The figurines have a bronze patina finish and come complete with a decorative gift box that describes the Our Unique Selection of Poinsettias character. These 8"-12" figures are great for year around indoor decorating or gift giving. We still have available the classic “Winter Rose” and the “Plum Purple”. (Yes, a purple poinsettia).

Care For Your Living Christmas Tree A living Christmas tree is a gift to your personal environment that everyone can enjoy! By choosing a living tree over a “cut” one, you can add beauty as well as make vital contribution to ecology. To keep your tree green and beautiful through the holiday season, it is important that it receive adequate air, light, moisture and a comfortable temperature. The requirements of all living Christ- mas tree indoors are much the same as those of an ordinary houseplant. The following are answers to commonly asked questions: ? Where should I place the tree indoors? Situate your tree in a well lighted room, as opposed to a dark location where drapes are drawn or natural light is inadequate. ? What about watering? Keep the roots of the tree moist. If the tree is growing in a nursery container, this simplifies the watering. If the rootball is contained in burlap, set it in a suitable container to catch the drainage and then saturate the rootball with water. A heavy plastic covering under the container will pro- tect your floor or carpeting. Never allow the tree to remain standing in water, but be careful that the plant doesn’t dry out between waterings. ? Can I decorate the tree with ornaments and lights? Absolutely! Lightweight ornaments and minia- ture lights are recommended. Display decorated trees on the porch or patio as well as indoors, to add a festive Holiday Spirit to outdoor areas. ? How long can the tree be kept indoors? We recommend keeping the tree indoors about 1 week if your home is kept warm. It may stay inside a little longer if the room is quite cool. Avoid placing the tree next to a fireplace or heating outlet since the excess heat can damage a live Christmas tree as well as a cut one. ? Does the tree need any special care after Christmas? After your living Christmas tree has served its purpose indoors, remove all decorations, take the tree outdoors and hose off its foliage with a fine mist spray. This will be helpful in the tree’s transition from indoor to outdoor living, whether it is planted in a landscape or grown in a container as a decorative accessory. Fresh Greens Fill the House With the Fragrance of the Season Deck the halls with boughs of holly, pine, fir, cedar and other sweetly scented evergreens.

  • The Spaciotemporal Patterns of Georgian Winter Solstice Festivals
    THE SPACIOTEMPORAL PATTERNS OF GEORGIAN WINTER SOLSTICE FESTIVALS Nino Abakelia Abstract: The article focuses on the rituals and ritual symbols of winter sol- stice festivals in Georgia, which are discussed from a spaciotemporal perspec- tive and which, in their turn, are based on cosmological symbolism. The article aims to show how everyday life changes through ritual into a winter mythico- ritual scenario and how the surrounding built environment of a society is being mythologized. How a place of dwelling as a microcosm is opposed to macrocosm; how symbolism conveys further the dialectic of the hierophanies by transform- ing things or humans into something other than what they appear in the profane experience. The article investigates who are the main characters of the ritual performance. For this purpose, the selection of ritual guests and their symbolic meanings in various rituals are discussed. Also, an attempt has been made to explain what they symbolize. While exploring the rituals from the spatiotemporal perspective, it is possi- ble to distinguish between three kinds of ritual guests: (i) the first-foot, who through ritual embodies the transcendental supernatural powers, which are represented by different saints (predominantly by St Basil, in other cases by St George, and others); (ii) Evangelical “shepherds”; and (iii) the spirits of the dead, who are divided into “visible” spirits of the dead, embodied by a group of dis- guised mummers, and invisible ancestral spirits of the family. All these ritual guests were unavoidable visitors at winter solstice festivals and were responsible for ensuring the wellbeing and prosperity of the family. By means of the rituals and ritual guests the society communicated with the outer world and guaranteed welfare for the forthcoming New Year.

  • Lake Michigan
    SECTION I – BASICS Nomination Title: Lake Michigan - Wisconsin National Marine Sanctuary Nominator Names(s) and Affiliations(s): The Governor of Wisconsin on behalf of the State of Wisconsin; the Cities of Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Port Washington; and Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Ozaukee Counties. Nomination Point of Contact: John Broihahn, State Archeologist, Wisconsin Historical Society, 816 State Street, Madison, WI 53706, (608) 264-6496, [email protected] SECTION II – INTRODUCTION Narrative Description The proposed Wisconsin sanctuary encompasses a key portion of an early transportation corridor that was critical to the expansion of the United States and the development of the agricultural and the industrial core of the Nation. The corridor is marked by 34 known shipwrecks, 122 reported vessel losses, numerous other historic maritime-related features, and communities that have embraced their centuries-long relationship with Lake Michigan. The historic shipwrecks are representative of the vessels that sailed and steamed this corridor, carrying grain and raw materials east as other vessels came west loaded with coal. Many of the shipwrecks retain an unusual degree of architectural integrity, with 14 vessels that are intact. The human history of the lake is intimately intertwined with the natural history. The people living along its shore are and have been influenced by the lake as their activities influenced the character of the lake and its drainage basin. The settlers, along with long-time Native residents, built the industries, harvested the timber, and farmed the fertile soils to create America’s heartland. Figure 1.
