  • Water-Wise Gardening Guide
    Water-Wise Gardening Guide Water... every drop is precious! Watering Habits A water-wise landscape can be beautiful and it can help you save water too. Do you want to be a wiser water miser? You don’t have to pull out all your plants and start over. Lets begin by examining the way you water. It may surprise you to learn that it is not necessary to water every day. In fact, watering 2-3 times per week may be enough. The key is to water deeply, allowing water to penetrate through the soil and reach plant roots. Your Irrigation System Turn on your sprinkler system and observe. Does it water your plants or the sidewalk? Does water flow into the gutter? If so, you are applying water faster than your soil can absorb it. Turn on your drip irrigation system and observe. Are the emitters clogged? Is water flowing out of the pipe where your emitter should be? Check your emitters weekly, use a filter, and use a pressure regulator on your system. Check Your Soil For lawns–after watering, take a screwdriver and probe it into the soil. If you can push it 6 inches deep, you have watered enough. If you can’t, set your timer to water longer . Then wait a few days and check it again. When the screwdriver can’t go in as deep, it is time to water. For trees and shrubs-after watering, the soil should be wet 2-3 feet deep. If you can easily dig with a shovel, you have watered enough.

  • Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start
    Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens e-Newsletter February 2021 EDITION Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Receives Grants to Start Master Plan Process Jacksonville, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2021) – Later this month, the Arboretum will begin the exciting process of developing a master plan to design and install botanical gardens on the property. The master plan process was made possible by generous grants of $30,000 from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund and $10,000 from the River Branch Foundation. The planning process will take about eight months to complete. The addition of botanical gardens is the latest in a continuous plan to propel the Arboretum into a best-in-class destination in the southeast. Executive Director Dana Doody noted that each project is being planned carefully to add as much value as possible while managing the non-profit’s budget plan in unprecedented times. In addition to the grant for the master plan design, the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Fund also awarded the Arboretum a $70,000 challenge grant for the first phase of the implementation. The 1:1 challenge grant will launch a community campaign following the completion of the design plan. “The Arboretum is an important community asset which brings thousands of people to its special trails, many of which are ADA accessible,” said Delores Barr Weaver. “The plan will provide a vision for a botanical destination, sure to benefit our citizens for years to come.” The process will take into account the Arboretum’s unique qualities, Florida’s seasons and Jacksonville’s ecosystems and native horticulture.

  • Colonial Garden Plants
    COLONIAL GARD~J~ PLANTS I Flowers Before 1700 The following plants are listed according to the names most commonly used during the colonial period. The botanical name follows for accurate identification. The common name was listed first because many of the people using these lists will have access to or be familiar with that name rather than the botanical name. The botanical names are according to Bailey’s Hortus Second and The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (3, 4). They are not the botanical names used during the colonial period for many of them have changed drastically. We have been very cautious concerning the interpretation of names to see that accuracy is maintained. By using several references spanning almost two hundred years (1, 3, 32, 35) we were able to interpret accurately the names of certain plants. For example, in the earliest works (32, 35), Lark’s Heel is used for Larkspur, also Delphinium. Then in later works the name Larkspur appears with the former in parenthesis. Similarly, the name "Emanies" appears frequently in the earliest books. Finally, one of them (35) lists the name Anemones as a synonym. Some of the names are amusing: "Issop" for Hyssop, "Pum- pions" for Pumpkins, "Mushmillions" for Muskmellons, "Isquou- terquashes" for Squashes, "Cowslips" for Primroses, "Daffadown dillies" for Daffodils. Other names are confusing. Bachelors Button was the name used for Gomphrena globosa, not for Centaurea cyanis as we use it today. Similarly, in the earliest literature, "Marygold" was used for Calendula. Later we begin to see "Pot Marygold" and "Calen- dula" for Calendula, and "Marygold" is reserved for Marigolds.

  • History of the Flower Garden: the Garden Takes Shape by Caroline Burgess, Director
    News from Stonecrop GardenFall 2008s History of the Flower Garden: The Garden Takes Shape by Caroline Burgess, Director Stonecrop grew literally and figuratively out of its spec- tacular albeit challenging site atop a rocky and windswept hill, surrounded by close woods and long, pastoral views down the Hudson Valley. Like all cultivated landscapes, Stonecrop, however, is just as much an expression of the ideas and aspirations of the people who create and inhabit it as the native landscape from whence it sprang. Frank Cabot’s three-part series of articles which appeared previ- ously in our newsletter beautifully documents this process of accommodating both man and nature, telling of the early years he and his family spent at Stonecrop. In this new series, I will continue the tale, using the story of our Flower Garden to illustrate the garden-making process at Stonecrop during my tenure. An Englishwoman by birth, I arrived in the United States as the Director of Stonecrop Gardens in 1984 following the completion of my three-year Diploma in Horticulture at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. As Caroline Burgess at Barnsley House a child, I worked in a stable near my family’s home in exchange for the privilege of riding the horses. That stable sequence of surrounding spaces and views.
