Planning and planting for a better world

Friends of the JC Raulston Arboretum Newsletter Number 3, Spring 1998 Director’s Letter

Spring greetings from the JC Raulston Arboretum! This garden- ing season is in full swing, and the Arboretum is the place to be. Emergence is the word! Flowers and foliage are emerging every- where. We had a magnificent late winter and early spring. The Cornus mas ‘Spring Glow’ located in the paradise garden was exquisite this year.

Editor’s News

The JC Raulston Arboretum was built by volunteers and staff with a passion for plants and creating beautiful gardens. Collectively, they focus the light that illuminates this spot of the earth, thereby attracting attention from all points of the globe. This is not a small thing which is happening at the Arboretum. It is a big thing. It is an important thing. It is the blend- Volunteers, left to right, Elaine Pace, Bee Weddington, Betsy Lindemuth and ing of energies, talents and gifts of Shirley Jones take a well deserved break during a mailing. so many people. Only in the past nine months, since I started work as program coordinator, have I seen the scope of the Arboretum’s work. I have come to appreciate all of the various groups that make contribu- tions.

It is my hope that this newsletter will capture the creative, innova- tive, generous and hard-working spirit that people bring to the Arboretum. Let the light from the It’s amazing how many people ask for the Arboretum cats. Milo does a Arboretum shine ever brighter!

Let us build on the past 22 years and continue the vision to plan and plant for a better world. ■

Volunteer Spring 1998 Page 13 WINTER’S BEAUTY

by Danese Thompson

An unusually balmy January morn, spent spying on nature’s magic. Most consider the winter garden quite forlorn, Yet quiet contemplation will reveal the sensual moods of life.

Evergreens and conifers flourish in striking shades of silver, plum, green and gold. Hollies, nandinas, pyracanthas and viburnums awaken with fleshy berries in luring shades of red, blue, yellow and black. Each providing a safe winter’s haven and an ample feast to nature’s gentle creatures, all nestled together in their softest boughs.

Naked trees baring their majestic souls, it would seem. Their true shape and form no longer masked by summer’s gleam. Magnificent trunks embraced by smooth, furrowed, or peeling bark; in subdued shades of light and dark. Trees swaying and softly moaning in the wind with sumptuous bark pining to be touched, caressed.

Faint sweet scents wafting to the observant nose. A winter’s gift from the honeysuckle, witchhazel, mahonia and apricot. Their diminutive blossoms of yellow, white, pink and rose; a visual feast amid so many naked branches.

Brazen perennials, once considered beautiful, now seemingly dead. Tan blades and blonde heads of tall slender grasses, lingering leaves in soft shades of brown. All rustle and dance in rhythm to the poignant song of the winter’s wind.

Jonquil blades shoving up through dark, rich dirt. Buds swelling larger and larger with each passing day. Every plant becoming fertile, awaiting the sweet pollen of its mate. Mother Earth quivering in rapture, will soon burst forth with the rebirth of spring.
