Any experienced gardener wandering by would have thought I had lost it completely. (Fortunately, the garden-society ladies didn’t stroll the avenues of our humble town with any frequency. “Oh, dear,” they might whisper to each other from behind gloved hands. “Can you imagine putting a garden in such a sorry spot?”) The house was in rough shape, and the yard was even rougher. But to me that was exactly the point. The Trillium erectum thrives in undisturbed yard had been sorely neglected and if I were going to woodlands, as it reportedly takes seven years to bloom from seed. walk by it everyday, it needed to be improved. Photo by Jim Stasz, courtesy USDA-NRCS PLANTS Database. It was a challenge. Every round with a spade into the compacted, dusty soil brought up shards of glass, Mexican candy wrappers, cigarette butts, and bits of plastic drinking straws. The roots of a nearby Norway maple (Acer platanoides, a notoriously shallow-rooted weed tree) permeated the surface of the soil, and monopolized any available water. A fierce stand of Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) had staked a claim at the edge of the yard, and needed to be whacked back at least twice a year. But I saw myself as the savior of this particular plot of ground. I would valiantly garden on! I ordered a load of compost and dug it in. I watered (and watered) and mulched and weeded. There would be a garden in that front yard. The unbelievable thing was that the plants I forced into that poor, pathetic soil actually grew… kind of. They were much-diminished versions of their ideal selves, but in the spring, there were green leaves and blooming flowers where before there had been only tufts of grass and a thick crop of bindweed seedlings. My time in the front yard also gave me an opportunity to meet the gardener next door (a friendly old Italian man who grew vegetables in his back yard and peonies out front), and sometimes to bump into our downstairs neighbor’s girlfriend, who could be seen sneaking out the bedroom window early in the morning. A few gardens later, I moved to the Hilltowns of western Massachusetts, a largely forgotten rural area in the Berkshire The fruits of cranberrybush Mountains. “Flatlanders,” as we call them, have told me that this part viburnum offer a feast for birds in late winter. of the state looks like most folks’ notion of Vermont—old farms, Photo by Carleen Madigan Perkins. maple sugaring operations: a Rockwellesque New England feel Issue No. 18 : Spring/Summer 2006 : Garden Gate Theme 3 Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments : www.terrain.org (Norman Rockwell lived not far from here, so the designation is not entirely inaccurate). Certainly there are gardeners here, but one has the sense that much of the land is either too rocky to be gardened easily, and perhaps better used for grazing sheep or dairy cows. I lived in a broken-down farmhouse on a dirt road lined with majestic but decrepit 200-year-old sugar maples. There were still working farms on our hill, mixed with vacation homes and more sugar shacks than seemed economically viable for such a sparsely populated area. Throughout that first winter, I walked along the back roads of the Hilltowns, admiring the persistent, papery leaves of the beech trees as they rustled in the cold wind, and wondered what kind of gardens I would see when the ground thawed in April. Goldenrod provides reliable color in gardens and When spring finally came, I began to realize that I had natural areas in late summer and early autumn. been walking among resting jewels all winter. The edge Photo by Al Schneider, courtesy USDA-NRCS of the woodlands was lit up by the creamy white PLANTS Database. blossoms of hobblebush (Viburnum lantanoides). Growing along the roadsides, in gravel and not much else, were bluets (Houstonia caerulea) and yellow trout lilies (Erythronium americanum). In gullies and other spots of wet ground were Jack-in- the-pulpits (Arisaema triphyllum). Later in the spring, the local pond would be encircled by the rose- pink blossoms of mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia). What struck me most, though, were the dark blossoms of purple trillium (T. erectum)—three-petaled ephemeral plants that bloom in April and May, then go dormant for the summer. I had only read about them, and thought they were very rare. Trilliums need seven years to bloom from seed—something the severely manicured landscapes of the Boston suburbs were unlikely to offer. In the Hilltowns, though, trilliums were everywhere— along the road, at the woodland edge of a sugarbush, in the meadows and old farmyards of abandoned houses. When I searched the streambanks for fiddleheads and hunted for mushrooms in the spring-leaved forest, I began to watch carefully where I stepped, for fear of leaving a trail of smashed trillium stalks behind me. Issue No. 18 : Spring/Summer 2006 : Garden Gate Theme 4 Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments : www.terrain.org When my husband and I bought our own house in the Hilltowns the following spring, I was so busy painting, unpacking, and learning about the inner workings of a septic system, I had very little time to garden. The plants I had brought with me (some of them remnants from that ill-fated urban yard, repeatedly dug up and schlepped from one garden to the next) were hastily heeled into the ground around the house. “I’ll fix up a better spot for them later,” I thought. I unintentionally did what every garden planner says you should and most people never do: spend an entire season observing the land around you. White birches at Bear Swamp Reservation, Ashfield, Mass. Photo by Carleen Madigan Perkins. What I saw almost made me bury my trowel for good. In the spring, there were trillium seedlings everywhere. We couldn’t decide where to put the compost heap, because it seemed like wherever we turned, there were those eager young plants, just waiting for a chance to bloom. Lining the shoulder of the road in front of our house, there were packs of trout lilies. By late summer, goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) and Joe-pye weed (Eupatorium fistulosum) filled the edge of the wetlands, and asters (A. novae-angliae) took on the role of embellishing the roadsides. Autumn brought the famous New England fall foliage, a slow progression of turning leaves, an elegy of death among the trees. What the leaf-peepers miss, in their eagerness to get all their kicks in one snapshot, is that the progression continues beyond the length of an afternoon bus ride and deeper into the forest.

VINYL Def Leppard were the definitive hard rock band of the ‘80s. There were groups that rocked harder, but few captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late ‘70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Def Leppard gained a following outside of that scene by toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody. In The Many Faces of Def Leppard, we are going to dig deep into the lesser known work of their members, collaborations, side projects and of course, their hit-filled catalog.

  • City of Lacey Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Survey Results
    APPENDIX D City of Lacey Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Survey Results Survey Design The survey was distributed as a Google Form that did not track respondents, did not require logins, and did not require answers to any given question. Where possible, the analysis will include the number of answers to a particular question, which is typically a lower number than the number of all responses. Responses submitted on paper versions of the survey went through a data entry process and were recorded in a separate instance of the survey form. Number of All Responses There were 702 responses to the survey that were entered electronically, and 168 responses that were submitted on paper at various Parks and Recreation events, for a total of 870 survey responses. Survey Section 1 of 3 Are you a resident of the City of Lacey? This was a multiple-choice one-answer question. The answers were “Yes” or “No.” 515 out of 863 responses to this question were Yes, for 59.7% of respondents identifying as City of Lacey residents. If you answered “Yes” to the question above, how many years have you lived in Lacey? This was a short-answer question that accepted numbers or text. Of the 515 “Yes” responses to the question above, 476 (92.4%) identified some number of years of Lacey residence. Of those 476, two identified residence outside Lacey city limits and were discounted. Answers were rounded to up to the next whole year. Almost half (46.3%) of the respondents have lived 10 years or less in Lacey – almost a quarter of the respondents (24.8%) have been Lacey residents for 5 years or less.
