    BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN Women in Science PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name INTRODUCTORY READING ". Student Resources in A Brief History of Brooklyn Botanic Garden (excerpts) From https://www.bbg.org/about/history. Accessed online on August 31, 2018. When Brooklyn Botanic Garden was founded more than a century ago, New York City area was quickly being developed into a cityscape of buildings and paved roads. Creating a public garden was one way to ensure that some green space remained. Today, the Garden has come to represent the very best in urban gardening and horticultural display. Here are some highlights of the Garden's history. 1897 New York State legislation reserves 39 acres for a botanic garden. Today, the Garden is make up of 52 acres. 1910 Garden founded with botanist Charles Stuart Gager as director. The Olmsted Brothers firm laid out the original site plan. 1911 Brooklyn Botanic Garden officially opens on May 13. Original Native Flora Garden (at the time called the Local Flora Section) laid out. BBG’s first display garden was conceived to showcase and conserve native plants. Its original form was designed by BBG’s first director, Norman Taylor, and included wildflower beds arranged systematically by plant family and evolutionary relationship. 1912 Harold Caparn appointed the Garden's landscape architect. Caparn would go on to design much of the grounds over the next three decades. 1914 Children's Garden program begins. One of the first programs of its kind, this one-acre vegetable garden offers a place where city children can grow their own food plants. 1915 Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden completed by landscape designer Takeo Shiota.

  • How Gardens Can Inspire Calm and Teach Life Lessons
    Botanical Activity Guide How Gardens Can Inspire Calm and Teach Life Lessons School Programs and Partnerships Welcome to The Huntington! This activity guide is based on seven of the 16 themed gardens at The Huntington. The Herb Garden was established in the 1970s and is designed to showcase herbs in four general categories of use: Medicinal, Culinary/Flavor, Cosmetic and Perfume, and Dyes/Fibers The Shakespeare Garden features plants with a variety of textures and colors, a number of which were mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays, that were grown during the 1500–1600s, or have connections to plants of the Renaissance. The Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory for Botanical Science is a 16,000-sq.-ft. greenhouse with a plant lab and three different plant habitats: a lowland tropical rainforest, a cloud forest, and a carnivorous plant bog. The Desert Garden, established more than a century ago, hosts approximately 2,000 succulent species and highlights the ways plants have adapted to survive heat, drought, and animal predators. The Ranch Garden is a teaching garden where gardening techniques are demonstrated and experimental concepts are tested. It is home to fruit trees, vegetables, perennial herbs, native shrubs, and reseeding annuals. The Brody California Garden is filled with native and other Mediterranean-climate plants that can thrive in southern California. It is punctuated with fruit trees that reflect the estate’s agricultural roots. The Rose Garden, established in 1908 and a favorite of founders Henry and Arabella Huntington, showcases more than 3,000 individual rose plants and more than 1,200 different cultivated varieties.

  • Shakespeare Garden Flowers and Plants Played an Important Role in the Imagery Throughout Shakespeare’S Literary Masterpieces
    Shakespeare Garden Flowers and plants played an important role in the imagery throughout Shakespeare’s literary masterpieces. While some of the blooms are recognizable, others are not as familiar. This is because Shakespeare relied on the language of flowers—symbolic meanings attached to different flowers—to create elaborate metaphors. Below are some of the flowers mentioned in his works: Common Name Latin Name Reference in Shakespeare Literature Language of Flowers ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Columbine Aquilegia vulgaris (P) “I am that flower…that columbine.” Resolve to win, anxiety – Love’s Labour’s Lost ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wormwood Artemisia “Wormwood, wormwood.” – Hamlet Absence absinthium (P) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daisies Bellis perennis (P) “When daises pied, and violets blue / Innocence And lady-smocks all silver white / And cukoo-buds of yellow hue / Do paint the meadows with delight...” – Love’s Labour’s Lost ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calendula Calendula “Hark! Hark! the lark at heaven’s gate Joy, health, officinalis (A) sings,/ And Phoebus ‘gins arise… And remembrance winking Mary-buds begin / to open their golden eyes…” – Cymbeline ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  • Shakespeare Garden/Downtown Cartersville
    On a work day in December (Friday the 16th), Sheri Henshaw (KBB), Paul Pugliese (Bartow County Extension Agent), and Bartow County’s Master Gardeners completed a unique recy- cling project - the transfer of a Shakespeare Garden from the Legion Theatre to a vacant space between Ross’ Diner and Lil’ Dollz ’N Gentz in downtown Cartersville. The new location is very near Cartersville’s Grand Theatre. Seven gardening volunteers worked five hours to complete the project. On a very chilly morning., the “garden recycling” began. First the plants were pruned, dug up, and loaded into a pickup BEFORE truck for the trip across town. Four large red knockout roses and eight boxwood plants took up most of the space. One large crape myrtle, rosemary, thyme, oregano, lavender, dianthus, mint, and daisies joined the rest for the trip to a new home. The old site was needed for some much-needed workspace expansions of the Legion Theater, a 75 seat black-box stage restored the- ater downtown and the home of the Pumphouse Players, a local performers guild. The hardscape had been moved earlier, and included columns, a bench, and lighting elements. Large pots were added by the DDA office to flank the bench on both sides. Fortunately, a new garden home had been prepared next to the Grand Theater, a 500 seat restored facility run by Georgia Museums Group.. The site would be much closer to several local sites, including the Bartow History Museum and the Teacher Resource Center. This will allow the garden to be more easily viewed, used for educa- tion and entertainment, and more easily enjoyed by the public.

Is the weather hot enough for you? Here at Paradox House Vineyard, we are part of what is probably a small group that is NOT hoping for rain. Our grapes are changing color (called veraison); from this point until harvest, dry, hot weather is best for them. Of course, my herb garden and veggie garden would enjoy a little rain. As I was working out there in the relative cool of the early morning, I found myself wishing for rain — but I had to call that wish back quickly! I will be turning on the sprinklers during the evening hours and using my watering cans on the potted plants. For some of the Pioneer Unit Board members, this is a busy time.
