The COVID-19 pandemic has turned many of us into master gardeners of change, patience and innovation. The members of 48 garden clubs that comprise the Garden Club of Virginia didn’t miss a beat. Over the summer they began the planning to offer safe and enjoyable tours while complying with current health mandates. We are excited to open 102 private gardens and dozens of historic properties as part of “America’s Largest Open House” this April 17 – 24. Historic Garden Week includes eight days of tours in 25 different communities. For garden lovers, this event has few peers. Ballantrae To comply with COVID-19 mandates, this year we reduced the number of tour tickets available for sale, decreased ticket prices and implemented a timed-entry format — while still providing what we FarmMCLEAN, VIRGINIA hope will be an exceptional tour experience.

A magnificent white oak tree, estimated to be 275 years old, overhangs the home’s front entrance. The grounds are extensively landscaped with stone patios, perennial beds, a sunken vegetable garden and paved walks. There is a swimming pool, a koi pond, a tennis court, a soccer field and even a large tree house, hidden amongst a grove of spruce trees. The lovely old farmhouse called “Little Ballantrae,” was the original farmstead home built in 1847-8. The enormous wisteria that wraps around the current screened-in porch is thought to have been planted around this time.

To address this issue, a backyard aquaponics program was implemented from 2010 to 2016 to offer additional avenues to food sovereignty in a rural predominantly Native Hawaiian community. Aquaponics provides a contained and sustainable food production system that models Native Hawaiian principles of land and water stewardship.

    r & S B E u 9 ^eipetolog^ Volume 27 ISSN 0892-0761 Number 1 Field Notes The field notes section of Catesbeiana provides a means for publishing natural history information on Virginia’s amphibians and reptiles that does not lend itself to full-length articles. Observations on geographic distribution, ecology, reproduction, phenology, behavior, and other topics are welcomed. Field Notes will usually concern a single species. The format of the reports is: scientific name (followed by common name in parentheses), state abbreviation (VA), county and location, date(s) of observation, observer(s), data, and observations. The name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) should appear one line below the report. Consult the editor if your information does not readily fit this format. All field notes must include a brief statement explaining the significance of the record (e.g., new county record) or observation (e.g., unusual or rarely observed behavior, extremely early or late seasonal record, abnormal coloration, etc.). Submissions that fail to include this information are subject to rejection. Relevant literature should be cited in the body of the text (see Field Notes in this issue for proper format). All submissions will be reviewed by the editor (and one other person if deemed necessary) and revised as needed pending consultation with die author(s). If the field note contains information on a new county (or state) record, verification is required in the form of a voucher specimen deposited in a permanent museum (e.g., Virginia Museum of Natural History) or a photograph (print, slide, or digital image) or recording (cassette tape or digital recording of anuran calls) deposited in the archives of the Virginia Herpetological Society.

  • Zen Bow Article: the Bodhisattvic Garden

    Zen Bow Article: the Bodhisattvic Garden

    Zen Bow Article: The Bodhisattvic Garden (After the zendo, the Zen Center's back garden is an ideal place for contemplation. It remains a still point in the middle of an inner-city neighborhood, and when I need to begin a letter, or to make some notes on the changing seasons, I find myself drawn to its domain.) Today, having nothing to write down, I leave my notebook open on one of the tables. As the pages flutter in a light breeze, the white paper with its thin blue lines absorbs the chattering of nearby sparrows, the scuttling of a squirrel as it spirals down a tree trunk, the flickering of someone walking briskly behind a fence. High up in the late afternoon sky, the vapor-trail of a plane, reflecting the earth, becomes more elongated and curved as it stretches towards the horizon. The following evening, the neighbor's calico cat presses her nose against the screen door and stares across the kitchen foyer into the twilight of the zendo. Like a person admiring a painting by Vermeer, she studies the receding aisle of shadowy figures who are sitting in perfect stillness on their brown cushions. Then a bell is struck to end the round of meditation, and she disappears down the back steps, her own bell tinkling faintly as she runs across the lawn. * * * The leaves are whispering to each other in a light and steady rain. Summer is now well-established, and the covering of myrtle under the locust tree is a deep shade of green. Beyond the myrtle, a dogwood is in full bloom, its white, four-leafed flowers resembling clusters of child-like stars.

    ATTACHMENT 4 LPC 02-07-19 Page 1 of 48 1440 Hawthorne Terrace Berkeley, CA January 30,2019 Land Use Planning Received Fatema Crane January 30, 2019 Secretary Landmarks Preservation Commission City of Berkeley 1947 Center Street, 2nd Flr. Berkeley, CA94704 Dear Ms. Crane: V/ith this letter, I wish to respond to the materials submitted by the owners of 1450 Hawthorne Terrace (the Speny Mclaughlin House & Garden) and supplement the landmark application materials that I previously submitted supporting the designation of the Speny-Mclaughlin and Marsh Houses & Gardens as landmarks pursuant to Berkeley Ordinance 4694 N.S. Among other things, I have attached a letter prepared by architectural landscape historian Janet Gracyk, who authored the HALS designation for the 'White House, describing the merits of the landscape that we are seeking to preserve on both Hawthorne Terrace properties. Exhibit A. First, I am gratified that the present o\ilners of 1450 Hawthorne Terrance apparently concede that the Speny-Mclaughlin House and Garden designed by Henry H. Gutterson and landscape architect Mabel Symmes are worthy of preservation and meet the requirements for designation as a landmark pursuant to Berkeley Ordinance 4694 N.S. According to the December 14,2018 memorandum prepared by Stacy Kozakavichl of Page & Turnbull, which the owners submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission ("LPC"), Page & Turnbull does not "question the overall conclusion [of the landmark application] that that the subject property is worthy of local landmark status." We could not agree more! The conclusion that this property is worthy of landmark protection is consistent with the conclusion reached by the various experts whom I consulted including Ms, Gracyk, Richard Brandi of Richard Brandi Historic Preservation Consulting, Chris Pattillo for the local chapter of FASLA, and UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design Professors Elizabeth Macdonald and Joe McBride.
