with the main crop of interest. But why does soil fertility increase, and why do we plant members of the legume family?

Photo by P.Licht Photo by The answer can be had by looking at the roots, which on close inspection are “decorated” with little pink bumps, called “nodules”. Within the nodules are found bacteria that are given a “home” and sugar by the plant, and in return, provide the plant with so called “fixed” nitrogen that can be used for the continued growth and development of the plant. While the nitrogen-fixing association between roots of legumes and bacteria is perhaps the best-known example of a beneficial relationship between roots and microbes, biologists have come to appreciate that roots of most plants have likely developed beneficial associations with soil microbes. Most widespread are mycorrhizal associations, which are an association between roots and soil fungi. The benefit of this association to the plant appears to be in increasing the supply of Prof. Feldman continues his lecture in the Tropical House. phosphate and micronutrients, such as copper and zinc.

Having recently attended my first meeting of the professional society dealing with such things (American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta), my own feelings about the collection were constantly reinforced by the opinions of others. Data I have been collecting over the past year, and feedback from visits to the other major gardens, reveal our standing in the world at large. It has become increasingly evident to me that we have one of the most diverse plant collections in the country and that we are unique in the quality of our collection: while 60% or more of our collection is of wild origin (collected from their native habitats), other similarly diverse collections typically have Lively silent auction at the Garden Party. well under 50% and down to only 5% from the wild (they rely on “store-bought” plants and have a large proportion of cultivars).

GARDEN WISH LIST

The Garden is in need of equipment and funding for specific projects. Please consider contributing toward the following: Chipper /Shredder: We have identified a specific piece of equipment that would be of great value to our horticultural operation: a portable chipper/shredder. It will allow us to chip plants right in place in the Garden, saving the effort of dragging branches up to the corporate yard, and allowing us to recycle the chips right into the beds. The cost of a new chipper/shredder is about $2,000. Wall in Asian Area: The old stone wall above the Strawberry Creek is slowly but surely suc- cumbing to the forces of age and gravity. Donation of a new wall presents an excellent opportunity to name a significant Garden feature in someone’s honor. Cost of rebuilding the wall is estimated at $50,000. Bridge over Strawberry Creek: In the interests of safety and in developing the aesthetic appearance of the Garden, a wooden, Asian style bridge is proposed for the lower crossing of the creek near the beautiful dawn redwood glade. This presents an opportunity to sponsor a most charming, indeed unique, named object in the Asian Area of the Garden. Conference Center Renovation Project: Let there be light! Great strides have been made in renovating the Conference Center. The big white cupboards have been moved out – replaced by a more functional custom-built cabi- net at the back of the room; all of the walls have been painted, and new curtains ordered. We still need funding to replace the old light fixtures in order to complete the renovation. Ten new light fixtures are needed, each valued at $500—please consider sponsoring a new light fixture. If you are interested in sponsoring a Wish List item, please contact Director Paul Licht, (510) 643-8999 or Janet Williams in the Garden Development Office at (510) 643-2937. Summer/Fall 2004 5
