Northern Neck Land ConservancyBy Jane Wells

Te Garden Club of the Northern Neck

Iknew I was in luck when I married my husband. Both his sister and his mother

were in Garden Club of Virginia clubs and he had been well versed in the goals

of the GCV. Another good thing about marrying into his family was the family

modus operandi of catching up on the weekends over cups of coee in the kitchen.

Concerns and ideas along with good jokes were passed around the kitchen table.

As longtime residents of the Northern Neck, a beautiful area dened by the

Northern Neck Land Conservancy as the ve-county peninsula bordered by the

Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay, the family worried

about development pressure changing the rural character of this part of the state.

Development can mean the loss of natural lands, historic landmarks, scenic views and

agricultural areas. ere was a lack of awareness of the close link between protecting

those things and our quality of life.

In the 1960s, George Freeman (whose wife Anne belongs to ree Chopt Garden

Club) had written the Open Space Easement Act, which included the formation of the

Virginia Outdoor Foundation. e Freemans and Helen and Tayloe Murphy (Garden

Club of the Northern Neck) were pioneers in using the new law to protect forests,

shoreline and farmland in the Northern Neck. But more was needed.

rough the gentle but rm persistence of my husbands sister Mary Louisa

Pollard and others who believed in the cause, the Northern Neck Land Conservancy

came into existence in 2004. From its oce in Lancaster, Virginia, the conservancy

helps landowners who want to place their property into a conservation easement to

understand the process and to accomplish the landowners particular goals in protecting

their land. NNLC will visit the site, discuss the tax consequences of an easement,

help nd an appraiser for the property and help draft the easement using the Virginia

Outdoors Foundation Guidelines and the sample easement. For example, a farmer or

forester can tailor an easement so that he and his children can continue to use their land

as they always have, even include several building sites if they so choose, protecting it

from development and with considerable tax advantages.

Since 2004, the NNLC has helped protect more than 30,000 acres of land under

the guidance of Mary Louisa Pollard, Page Henley and current president Carol Hughes,

all of whom are either a member or the spouse of a member of the Garden Club of the

Northern Neck. Garden Club of Virginia members and their families continue to have

a tremendous impact on the preservation of our beautiful state through the NNLC.

e present board of directors includes Temple Moore, husband of Marty (Garden Club

of Alexandria), Mercer OHara (GCNN), Lee Stephens, husband of Jarrett (GCNN),

George Freeman, and Tayloe Murphy. Let no one underestimate the power of a

determined Garden Club of Virginia member, or her spouse!

Conservation in Virginia:What is Working?Monday, September 26

at the Kent-Valentine HouseBy Hollis Stauber, Chairman, Conservation WorkshopGCV Conservation and Beautication Committee

Te Garden Club of Danville

What are recent state and local conservation success stories and how do wemultiply them eectively? What inspires us? is is the focus of the 2011Conservation Workshop on Monday, September 26 from 10 a.m. until

1:30 p.m. All members are invited but conservation chairmen and club presidents areencouraged specically to attend. Registration information is on the GCV website.

We are honored to have the Secretary of Natural Resources Doug Domenechgive the states overview on land protection programs in Virginia. Bob Lee, ExecutiveDirector of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, will give insight into one of the bestland protection programs in the U.S., the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. e VOF

was created in 1966 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly and is Virginiasleader in land conservation, protecting more than 600,000 acres in 105 counties andindependent cities. Primarily through the use of open-space conservation easementssince 2000, the VOF has preserved open space in Virginia at a rate of about ve acresevery hour. Its success is a product of 40-plus years of hard work in the eld and at the

General Assembly to keep programs growing, even in lean times.e Legislative Committee will then prepare us for the year ahead. Success atthe General Assembly takes the concerted eorts of many individuals, and thus ourGCV strategy is key. Next, we will showcase inspiring conservation leaders, with the2011 de Lacy Gray Award winner, Sallie Sebrell, and the 2011 Bessie Bocock CarterConservation Award recipient, e Garden Club of Norfolk.

During lunch and after,three quick sessions will highlightsuccessful club conservationprojects. Most of these projects

are partnerships that involveclean water issues. e clubsreceiving recognition are theGarden Club of Norfolk,

Augusta Garden Club andRivanna Garden Club. Augusta,for example, is committed to therestoration and health of LewisCreek which runs throughStaunton and Augusta County.

e club has initiated an educational signage project regarding the importance of cleanwater. To date, two signs have been erected along the creek, two more are in production,and a fth will soon be started.

Please join the Conservation and Beautication Committee on September 26 at the Kent-Valentine House in Richmond. Register on line with our GCV website or call the GCV sta.

Historic Garden Week 2011Kudos and Curveballs

By Anne Cross, Historic Garden Week Chairman, Te Ashland Garden Cluband Karen Miller, Director of Historic Garden Week

From the Chesapeake Bay to the Blue Ridge Mountains, GCV clubs once

again oered a stellar group of tours for Historic Garden Week, which was

named among Virginias Preppiest Events byVirginia Livingmagazine

this year. Attractions ranged from an all-green, eco-friendly Lynchburg home to a

neighborhood yacht cruise in Virginia Beach.

Special guests this year included a group from Norfolk, England, that visited

in celebration of the 25th year of its Sister City program, as well as members of the

Garden Club of Bermuda. Bermudas group leader Diana Cudleigh sent her thanks,

commenting, Historic Garden Week in Virginia is an enormous undertaking and it

must be heartening to see all the garden clubs of Virginia pulling together so welland

for such a good cause. We were overwhelmed by the welcome we received everywhere.

Fortunately, our international visitors enjoyed good weather. Others werent aslucky. Most of the tours scheduled for the rst Saturday had horrible weather ranging

from heavy downpours in Winchester to power outages in Hanover to late afternoon

tornadoes in Gloucester. However, in typical Garden Club fashion, guests that braved

the weather were treated to gracious, albeit soggy, hospitality. Our intrepid volunteers

managed every challenge, putting on beautiful tours despite the numerous obstacles.

Considering the curveballs thrown by Mother Nature, high gas prices, and the Easter

holidays, ticket receipts were still respectable.

Net revenue in 2011 was reported for accounting purposes as $454,378, but

includes $73,867 in tour proceeds from 2010 that were turned in late for a total of

$380,511 in actual net. As with all special events, there are expenses associated with

running the tours successfully. Unfortunately, expenses at both the club and state level

were up signicantly this year a 32% increase over the previous year. is was oset

in part by another tremendous advertising eort by club ad chairmen. e Garden

Week guidebook turned a prot for the second year in a row. Advertising income

covered both the printing and distribution cost of 90,000 guidebooks with almost

$35,000 in income above guidebook cost.

Please support the earlydetection of breast cancer

by purchasing a tie or scarf.Your purchase will provide

one free mammogramfor a woman withouthealth insurance.

Tie One One summer was a productive time

for Historic Garden Week. Karen got

her ocial start in May and by August a

production manual, or HGW 101, was

compiled and distributed to all of the

clubs, along with an individual analysis

of their attendance, income and expenses

over the past ve years. ese tools were

developed to make the logistical aspects

of HGW easier and more consistent from

year to year. While this is a working

document, the intent is to create an

insiders guide, full of best practices.

In addition, work began in June on a

statewide marketing and media campaign

that will support the 79th Historic Garden

Week, which will be announced at the

HGW marketing meeting in October.

Kudos go to all of our hardworking

GCV volunteers and friends across the

state who made Historic Garden Week

such a pleasure for our many guests.

Calls began pouring into headquarters lastfall from eager visitors from California

to Connecticut, and they were not

disappointed. Based on our work with

local HGW chairmen and the enthusiastic

response we have received from new

initiatives, this springs tour is poised to be

even better!

Gardening and Gifts:A Journey through England

By Shannon WeislederTree Chopt Garden Club

In July, a most congenial group of garden club members from Richmond and

Tidewater spent a week in England, touring some of the most beautiful private

and public gardens, including HRH e Prince of Wales home, Highgrove, with

a special detour to the Hampton Court Flower Show. e trip was a jolly fundraiser for

the Richmond clubs Capital Trees project.

Decked out with macs andbrollies, the dauntless group of 15

braved typical wet, cool English

summer weather to visit 18 sites,

from a tiny cottage garden to

Windsor Castle, from the high

style of Hampton Court to the

charming, quirky landscape at

Highgrove.

On several occasions, owners of private estates gave personal tours of their gardens

and homes, having the Virginians to lunch and tea. Among the most memorable was

the Kingston Bagpuize House, where the owner joined the group for lunch in her oak-

paneled dining room, circa 1720, and a discussion with Virginia plantation owners of

the challenge of keeping an antique house and garden. At Haseley Court, the last home

of Nancy Lancaster, the gracious lady of the manor served tea overlooking magnicent

gardens and a tremendous topiary chess set. Unforgettable was lunch at Rodmarton

Manor, a supreme example of the Arts and Crafts style of the early 20th century, and

one of the last country houses to be built and furnished in the traditional style, where

everything was made with local stone and timber by local craftsmen. Still hanging

in the houses chapel is a hand-inked WWII-era sign requesting that the shutters be

closed during blackouts. And Ashley Hicks himself gave a fascinating tour of his fathers

garden at e Grove, punctuated with mischievous humor on growing up with the

world-famous designer David Hicks.

Not to be missed was Highgrove, which as the home of e Prince of Wales and

e Duchess of Cornwall seemed almost humble and deeply personal in comparison to


9/32


other royal residences. e Wall of Gifts,

which incorporates some of the many gifts

e Prince receives, using them to beautify

and personalize his garden and to tellstories from around the world, is a vivid

example.

A theme common to all of the

gardens was how personal each space is to

its owner. Every garden is the result of an

individuals vision, maintained with love

and hard work, bearing delightful gifts to

all who might be fortunate enough to visit.

Gardeners love to share the gifts of

their gardens, whether they are owers,

seeds, fruits or vegetables, and the owners

of these magnicent places were no

exception. Among the gifts presented to

visitors were beautiful vegetables from

the Stone House in Wyck Rissington,

Coronation Chicken Salad from

Rodmarton Manor, wine and gossip at

the Greyhounds, and a taste of daylilies at

Haseley Court.

On Sunday, the Virginians

worshipped at St. Georges Chapel at

Windsor, the spiritual home of the Order

of the Garter, where eucharist was sung by

an all-male choir, and many a heart was

left behind with a pint-sized soprano.

Just as Prince Charles has planted his

Wall of Gifts from friends at Highgrove,

the visitors brought home from England

wonderful memories of gardens and newfriends, whose gifts of wisdom, knowledge

of horticulture and preservation, and

kind friendship will be forever planted in

gardens across the sea.

My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled,

Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,

All felled, felled, are all felled;

Of a fresh and following folded rank

Not spared, not oneTat dandled a sandalled

Shadow that swam or sank

On meadow and river and wind-wandering weed-winding bank.

Oh if we but knew what we do

When we delve or hew

Hack and rack the growing green!

Since country is so tender

o much, being so slender,

Tat, like this sleek and seeing ball

But a prick will make no eye at all,

Where we, even where we mean

o mend her we end her,

When we hew or delve:

Once the 80-plus-page book comesout, it will complete a project that hasbeen years in the making, with many atweak and information addition along the

way. e resource is intended to answermyriad gardening questions, including those related to restoration.

Te Warrenton Garden Clubis 100 Years Young!

By Aileen LaingTe Warrenton Garden Club

In May 1911, the vice president of e Warrenton Garden Club missed the secondmeeting of the edgling group because her carriage pole broke as she was leavingthe house. Today, one is more likely to be detained in a trac jam. Initially, the

club met in a members home every two weeks during the season. Today, we meet onthe second ursday of every month except August and February, but we still meet inmembers homes. Originally, the hostess (and perhaps another member) decided on thetopic for the meeting; today, program chairs provide a full year of topics.

Despite these obvious dierences, todays club retains the core values of our

foremothers. Conservation and the preservation of our wonderful Virginia landscape isa thread that weaves throughout the history of the club. In 1917, the Club embarkedon its rst highway beautication program by planting trees along the new highways inthe county. In honor of the countrys bicentennial in 1976, trees were planted on theapproach roads to the town.

Although our eorts are not always well received, we persevere. Trees plantedalong one approach road were cut down to accommodate a shopping center, and acement sidewalk has replaced gardens maintained at one entrance to the town. Hopesprings eternal, however, and last year we planted beds at the new play area of the localrecreation center. Maybe this time, our investment in beautication will be permittedto stand.

Since 1984, we (in partnershipwith the Piedmont EnvironmentalCouncil) have sponsored the two-

week Nature Camp for children ages8 to 12. For many of these children,this is their rst encounter with purenature: mud, bugs, snakes, a free-owing river and the freedom to justbein a natural environment. It is ourhope that this exposure will ripen

into a love of our natural world anda desire to preserve it. In conjunctionwith the Garden Club of America,we participate in Partners for Plants,having gone into the ShenandoahNational Park to mark ginseng, andinto the George Washington Forest tocount black cohosh.

e Warrenton Garden Clubis one of the smallest clubs and theonly one to be a founder of both

GCV and GCA. We take great pridein our heritage, and as we enter oursecond century, remain a small, butmighty, group of women dedicatedto the conservation, preservation, andbeautication of our beloved OldDominion.

An adventure in shoppingin every size for every lifestyle need.

RoseNotesBy Rachel Hollis, GCV Rose Chairman

Te Spotswood Garden Club

he 73rd Rose Show will be held at the Norfolk Botanical Garden on October5 and 6, hosted by the Harborfront Garden Club. It again promises to be amarvelous venue with the added attraction of several lectures presented during

the judging.You are invited to participate by entering as many stems in as many classes as

you like. Check the Rose Show Schedule online and determine that this year you willmake every eort to enter. ere are classes for hybrid teas, grandioras, oribundas,mini-oras, miniatures, climbing roses and Earth-Kind roses. ese may be enteredas single stems or as a part of a collection that might include three stems of the samevariety, evenly matched. Evenly matched means that the three are about the same sizein appearance.

If you have never entered a rose in a show, you will have plenty of help in theworkroom. You will be shown how to groom a stem, how to ll out an entry card andhow to stage the rose so that it catches the judges eye. Cut all stems long enough sothey will look balanced in the container and do not cut o any of the leaves.

One more word about lling out your entry card. Once you have written thesection, class and rose variety, and attached your printed address label (or print legibly),make certain that you indicate that you are a GCV member. is small box is on bothsides of the card and is probably the single most important piece of information for thetabulation and awards committees. Some awards are given to any amateur grower and

some are given only to a GCV member. If your specimen has been awarded a ribbonand you have not checked the box indicating that you are a GCV member, this makesextra work for the runner who must then take the card to registration for verication.Valuable time can be lost and the judging process slowed down which, of course, meansthat the awards ceremony will be delayed.

e rose education exhibit will consist of only three dierent roses, those beingthe GCV 2011 Rose Collection. We are asking that every GCV member who boughtthe collection to bring (or send by her Inter Club Committee) her roses, including withthem the name of the grower and her garden club. It will be educational indeed to seehow the collection performs in each part of the state.

See you at the show!

Daffodil NotesBy Joyce Rice, GCV Daodil Committee

Roanoke Valley Garden Club

With fall in the air and bulb catalogs arriving, its time to think about

planning and planting for spring bloom, and nothing says spring better

than daodils. Whether your favorite is the bold yellow and orange, the

pure white or the more feminine pink, the one thing all daodils have in common is

tall, green foliage. After the daodil bloom period is over, the foliage sends nutrients,

known as starches, to the bulb for the next years bloom. Since the foliage is so vital

for the health of the bulb, do not twist, tie together or use a rubber band to secure the

foliage in an eort to make it more appealing in your garden. Doing so will suocate

the foliage and photosynthesis will be unable to take place. Let the foliage turn yellow

naturally and wait at least eight weeks before removing any maturing foliage. At the

time when the foliage is no longer upright, it can be removed by a quick tug or by

cutting.

Ways of disguising the yellow, wilting foliage of the daodil have long been a quest

of many gardeners. A solution to this objective is to have companion plants that will

be growing the same time the daodils nish their bloom period. ese plants may

be annuals or perennials. If the choice is annuals, consider using seed from the hardy

annuals, such as marigold, cosmos, petunia and zinnia, to name a few. Often these

old-fashioned favorites will self-seed, which means less work for the gardener. One of

the most recommended perennial companion plants is the daylily, with many colorful

varieties available through growers or favorite garden centers. e only downside to

the daylily is continued maintenance. Other perennial favorites are echinacea and the

Shasta daisy, valued for the long-lasting bloom and the height they bring to the garden.Peonies are also a good choice, given the fact that once their blooms are spent, the

glossy foliage remains for months. In their bookDaodils for North American Gardens,

Brent and Becky Heath list 35 sun-loving companion plants, literally from A to Z,

achillea to zinnia, with another list of 27 plants for shady locations. Both lists include

perennials and annuals. Any gardener will enjoy planning plants to add color and

foliage dierent from the daodil. e choice is wide and varied, limited only by the

design and texture the gardener wants to achieve.

During daodil season, horticulturists should be aware of new shoots of the

companion plants peeking up through the soil. Sadly, more than one new growth has

been lost to inattention.
