A geometric boxwood hedge completes the design. Viewed from the street, the landscaping har- monizes with the home’s blue-gray shingles and provides color and structure year-round. Through an arched gate, a path leads around the side of the house, transitioning from the vibrant plantings in the front garden to a de- cidedly more serene design in back. This is a place for peaceful walks, or sitting with a cup of tea to admire the surround- ings. The backyard was designed to show- case a large collection of Japanese maples featuring contrasting forms and textures in complementary shades of green, mak- ing this garden interesting year-round. On the perimeter, a large hedge of cryptome- ria and arborvitae provides privacy and a sense of seclusion. Truckloads of soil were brought in to modify the sloping to- pography and create raised beds reminis- cent of islands in the grass, bisected by stone walking paths. A stone-lined dry creek runs along the back of the property, planted with shrubs including viburnum and camellia. Swaths of ornamental grass- es, such as Japanese acorus, complement the shrubs and strengthen the Asian theme. At the far end of the garden, a fern grotto features ostrich fern and other un- usual varieties, such as ‘Dre’s Dagger.’ In this private setting, treasured trees are given a sense of place as if they were in a traditional Japanese garden. Visitors here will be transported by the contemplative, meditative atmosphere that invites one to stop and enjoy, and breathe.

  • Astley Castle Knot Gardens
    ASTLEY CASTLE KNOT GARDENS All about Tudor knot gardens Knot garden designs Knot gardens have been fashionable since the Tudor times. The Tudors found the inspiration for their gardens from the gardens in Italy, where architects began building houses and gardens that followed a strict geometric pattern. The shapes and the sizes that featured in the design of the house were repeated in the layout of the garden. The Tudors built many grand homes and liked the idea of geometry and proportion. Knot gardens are still popular with designers today. Not only were Tudor knot gardens designed to look good, but they were often a symbol or even a puzzle. For example, this popular design shown on the right was called The True Lovers Knot. It often featured in the gardens of newly married couples. These images below are drawings of knot garden designs that appeared in books during the Tudor times. The designs for knot gardens were similar to those found on fabric, in windows, jewellery and furniture. These designs are interlacing - this means they weave in and out. They fit into a square and they are symmetrical. During the Tudor times there weren’t many plants that flowered in the autumn and the winter. Materials such as crushed bricks and sand were used to create colour and pattern all year round. Scented herbs were used such as marjoram, thyme, southernwood, lemon balm, hyssop, lavender, rue and myrtle. Box hedging which is often used to create knot gardens today wasn’t very popular in the Tudor times. They thought the plant had an evil smell! ASTLEY CASTLE KNOT GARDENS Knot gardens in use This is a bird’s eye view drawing of a typical mid 16th century Tudor Garden with a ‘knot pattern’ as the centre piece to the square design.

Two sites visited by SGHS members during the 2004 annual meeting sustained heavy damage during the storm and its aftermath. New Orleans City Park was particularly hard hit. Over 150 years old, one-mile wide and three-miles long comprising a total of 1,300 acres, City Park is one of the ten largest urban parks in the United State. It is located in the heart of New Orleans and is the largest recreation area for the entire metropolitan area. In the wake of the storm, 90% of the park was under anywhere from one- to ten-feet of water and approximately 40% remained underwater for several weeks. The water that entered the park was salt water from the Gulf of Mexico, which killed all the grass and most of the tender vegetation in The Botanical Garden.

Saved blue, red, gold, green and tricolored award ribbons. Photos of children’s’ excited faces after a Greenhouse class, members at a Club Holiday party. Notes in a worn composition book from a president’s meetings in 1947. Flower Show programs. Membership lists from 78 years ago. And we begin this history of the Garden Club of Teaneck with where we began: 1932: The Depression didn’t stop the new Garden Club of Teaneck from emerging in April 1932. It quietly bloomed into being, with Carl Fleishman as its first president. There were 120 members, 76 of whom were male. The earliest members are listed in the 1934 Spring Flower Show program. The Garden Club was actually incorporated, though, in 1953. So what did these 120 members have as their purpose in this new club in these times? Although we don‘t have the first sets of Minutes or Bylaws, local history books mention Garden Club activity. including plant sales and beautification of city areas. But the activity that survives in documentation most is the flower show. All seem grounded in our present day bylaw: “the objective of the club shall be to stimulate interest in and spread the knowledge of gardening.” In 1932, the first annual flower shows were staged, both spring and fall, The shows, held in schools, the library, the Women’s Club and once at a local church, brought Teaneck in to see the best local gardeners had to offer in decorative displays.

  • A Valued Garden: Determining an Appropriate Mission For
    A VALUED GARDEN: DETERMINING AN APPROPRIATE MISSION FOR THE FOUNDERS MEMORIAL GARDEN by LINDSEY J. HUTCHISON (Under the Direction of Marianne Cramer) ABSTRACT Conventional historic preservation of cultural landscapes is typically limited to concern over the physical integrity of the site with the goal of arresting the site in a state of stable permanence. Cultural context is usually ignored in developing preservation strategies for these sites although they are ever‐evolving maps of the interaction of human activity with the natural environment over time. This thesis explores a values‐based assessment for a historically important and still well‐utilized site, the University of Georgia Founders Memorial Garden, to provide the foundation for a holistic approach to management activities. The collection and assessment of both historical and contemporary Human‐Utility Values held for the Garden as well as its own inherent intrinsic values generate an appropriate mission statement to guide subsequent management activities for such a dynamic and complex site.
