GARDEN, Atlanta’s Boutique Landscape Firm, Says Gardens are Moving Inside

GARDEN,
Atlanta’s go-to destination for all things urban landscaping
and southern flora, is launching GARDEN terrarium kits so people can
easily add green to the inside of their homes. While Matthew Klyn,
GARDEN’s founder and owner, has designed some of the city’s most
appealing outdoor landscapes, the GARDEN terrarium kits
mark a move to empower anyone to build and maintain their own small
ecosystem indoors.

“The
idea behind the terrarium kits was all about making growing something
beautiful accessible to everyone, even inside their homes,” said Klyn.
“So we needed to develop
the best way to package and ship them so that you could literally pick
one off the shelf and build yourself a self-sustaining tiny ecosystem
that thrives on neglect.”

The
kit features everything needed to cultivate your own terrarium: a 100%
recycled glass terrarium, available in 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch
sizes, along with charcoal,
orchid mix, terrarium soil, moss, gravel, stones, decorative accents
and building and care instructions.

Once
you’ve established your terrarium, you can adorn it with additional
plant kits including mini orchids, greens, Tillandsia and succulents.
The GARDEN team hand selects
all plants seasonally. All plants can be purchased in-store or at
gardenterrariumkits.com
.

The GARDEN terrarium kits are available in-store at GARDEN, located in West Midtown. Additional retailers can be found on
gardenterrariumkits.com.

El Cerrito: ‘Pop-up’ garden takes root at Fairmont Park

EL CERRITO — Members of a community group committed to urban vegetable gardening have established a foothold in an underdeveloped city park with a goal of expanding their presence and making it permanent.

The El Cerrito Community Garden Network is farming a 300- to 350-square-foot plot at Fairmont Park that parallels the BART tracks at Eureka Avenue. Potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, kale, bok choy, onions and other fruits and vegetables grow in the space, said Robin Mitchell, the chairwoman of the network’s advisory committee.

The site is what’s become known as a “pop-up garden,” using redwood planters, used wine barrels and raised beds to create a compact and potentially portable growing space.

The concept is growing in popularity nationwide, enabling apartment and condominium dwellers to “manufacture” micro-gardens in areas that may only be available for a limited time, Mitchell said.

“We’ve created a ‘pop-up’ garden because the city doesn’t want us to put in permanent gardens at this point,” she said. “Community gardens are happening everywhere in areas where people don’t have backyard space to grow their own vegetables.”

The regular presence by gardeners in the park has some residual benefits, including increased public safety, Mitchell said.

“The garden makes the park friendlier for dog walkers and other users,” she said.

Some of the most active Fairmont Park gardeners include 10 to 15 Tibetan immigrant families who are “trying to find culturally appropriate vegetables that are not in grocery stores,” Mitchell said, adding, “They are really happy with whatever they are growing and pretty much use anything that is grown there.”

El Cerrito hopes to obtain grants to develop Fairmont Park with a larger garden, including 30 to 35 garden beds, an irrigation system, a tool shed, fencing and landscaping, said Melanie Mintz, the city’s interim community development director.

The city was turned down for a grant of about $500,000 for such a project under state Proposition 84, which allocates money to improve parks and open space, among other things, she said.

El Cerrito had a concept design done for free by a landscape architect who had done other work for the city.

“We would like to build a cornerstone garden for the city, similar to ones that have been established in San Francisco and Seattle,” Mintz said. “We knew the idea would take a number of years to get its legs.”

The Fairmont garden parallels other community gardens in El Cerrito, including a student-run garden at El Cerrito High School and a garden at the city’s Senior Center, Mintz said.

The Community Garden Network is a branch of Berkeley Partners for Parks, which also sponsors Friends of Five Creeks, a creek and watershed preservation and restoration organization operating in Berkeley, El Cerrito and Richmond.

Saco Bay Gardening Club celebrates with barbecue – Biddeford – Saco

The Saco Bay Gardening Club was founded in 2001 by a group of residents to promote and inspire home gardening. This year’s annual barbecue was held at the home of Cynthia and Jim Granger. The celebration began with a walking tour of the beautiful gardens surrounding their home. The Grangers joined the garden club six years ago and at that time they had no gardens and little knowledge about plants. With the help and support of club members, and plenty of work on their part, they have created a magnificent yard. That’s just one of the many benefits of being a club member.

The mission of the club also includes volunteer work and charitable contributions to gardeningrelated causes such as providing scholarships to horticultural students at Southern Maine Community College and purchasing farm shares for local elderly citizens who find it difficult to purchase fresh produce. Some members regularly give their time, working to beautify the community. Some of the community areas supported by the club include Saco City Hall, the property around Dyer Library and Saco Museum, MacArthur Public Library in Biddeford and the Transportation Center in Saco. Other members cannot afford the time to work on the community beautifying projects and simply attend the meetings. Growing every year, club membership encompasses all age groups, ranging from beginners looking for information on starting their first garden to master gardeners happy to share their knowledge.

The club has an annual garden sale each spring, held at Dyer Library. Healthy plants are available at great prices and proceeds support the club’s volunteer projects and charity work.

Plans for the highly anticipated biennial garden tour are underway. It will take place Saturday, July 12. Cathleen Fejedelem is chairman of the 2014 Garden Tour Committee. Anyone interested in having their gardens considered for display on the tour are welcome to contact Cathleen at 286-2711 or veilchen@yahoo.com.

The club meets the first Thursday of each month in the Deering Room at Dyer Library in Saco at 6 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Meeting agendas include guest speakers presenting a gardening-related topic, roundtable discussions, seasonal craft workshops and plant swaps. During summer, most meetings are held outdoors at a members’ garden. This is an enjoyable experience that also provides participants with great gardening and landscaping ideas.

The program committee has prepared a wonderful calendar for the upcoming year. Topics include, “Vertical Gardening” presented by Jason Spinney from University of New England; “Flower Design and Arrangement” by Janet Johnson, owner of Maine Street Florist in Buxton; “Low Impact Gardening for Aging” presented by Horticultural Therapist Irene Barber from Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens; and “Identification and Treatment of Insects Pests in the Garden Landscape” given by Clay Kirby from the University of Maine Extension Service

Year-round or part-time residents from Saco, Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach and surrounding areas are welcome to join the club. Anyone interested can just attend a meeting as a guest. For more information, go to www.sacobaygardenclub.com.

Nancy Bancroft is secretary at Saco Bay Gardening Club.

Springs Preserve offers cultural, educational experience – Las Vegas Review

Located just minutes from downtown Las Vegas, the Springs Preserve is considered the “birthplace of Las Vegas.” Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the Springs Preserve is the site of the original artesian springs which provided water to the Las Vegas Valley in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today, it is an educational and cultural complex encompassing more than 180 acres and features museums, galleries, hiking and biking trails and other amenities.

At its heart, the Botanical Gardens at the Springs Preserve comprise 110 acres and are home to a large collection of Mojave Desert cacti and succulent plants. It also features display gardens, natural gardens, wildlife habitats and educational resources for kids and adults alike.

Inside the Gardens, visitors will find more than 1,200 species of native and desert-adapted plants. More than 400 mature trees and plants, some 20 years old and more than 30 feet tall, were transplanted to the Gardens and throughout the Springs Preserve.

The Mojave native plants on display were grown from seed collected in the Las Vegas Valley, making the plants genetically true and better adapted to the climate. Almost all of the native cactus and yucca species were salvaged from local lands that were being developed for residential or commercial use.

Springs Preserve staff members are pursuing various conservation efforts to ensure the survival of plant species found in the Mojave Desert. Among these is a cactus salvage program, which has saved cactus species which were declining in number because of new development.

In addition, Springs Preserve staff are actively studying and preserving other native plant species, including the endangered Las Vegas bearpoppy, the Blue Diamond cholla (a compact cactus that grows only in the Blue Diamond hills of the nearby Spring Mountains), and the rare Las Vegas buckwheat, a shrub which grows at elevations of 1,900 to 3,900 feet and is only found in Southern Nevada.

As a creative, innovative learning environment, the Gardens enables visitors to explore native and nonnative desert-adapted plant life through interpretive stations, hands-on workshops, guided tours, and more. As well, guests can learn about landscaping techniques and different ways to enhance outdoor space with water-smart landscaping.

Guests also can go on weekly guided walks through the Gardens and participate in workshops focusing on desert gardening and cooking. Creative programs led by local experts in photography, sculpture, painting and other artistic disciplines enhance the Gardens experience; the Gardens often display works by local artists who use the natural landscape of the Botanical Gardens as both the palette and the venue for their vision.

In 2012, the Botanical Gardens at the Springs Preserve received the Horticulture Magazine Award for Garden Excellence, which honors public gardens that best exemplify the highest standards of horticultural practices. In addition, the American Public Gardens Association at its annual conference recognized the Gardens for outstanding horticultural displays, regionally inspired gardens, environmentally friendly gardening practices and commitment to teaching and encouraging home gardeners and students at all levels.

Also, the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association and the Canadian Garden Tourism Council in 2012 recognized the Botanical Gardens at the Springs Preserve as one of the “Top 10 North American Gardens Worth Traveling For.”

The Botanical Gardens at the Springs Preserve are at 333 S. Valley View Blvd., between U.S. Highway 95 and Alta Drive. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily; Springs Preserve members and local residents get early morning entry to the Gardens and Trails beginning at 8 a.m.

Penis Bones Show Size Mattered to Ancient Bear

Scientists don’t have any footage to shed light on the sex lives of ancient bears, but fossil penis bones can tell all.


Play Video

Researchers recently studied a collection of penis bones from an extinct species of bear in Spain. Compared with today’s bears, this ancient creature, named Indarctos arctoides, had a surprisingly large penis bone that suggests it had infrequent but long-lasting sex sessions, the study found. And the females may have used penis size to assess their mates.

VIDEO: Penises Have Bones?!

Human males today don’t have a penis bone, formally called a bacula, but it is found in many other mammals, including chimpanzees and gorillas. Whereas humans depend on blood pressure to stiffen up their sexual member, a penis bone helps animals keep their penis reliably erect for intercourse. [7 Wild Facts About the Penis]

Penis bones are rare in the fossil record, but researchers found five of them in the Madrid Basin in Spain that belonged to this large primitive bear, Indarctos arctoides. The bear roamed Europe during the Late Miocene (around 12 million to 5 million years ago), and the male of the species would have grown to around 584 pounds (265 kilograms), similar in size to the European brown bear.

Its bacula was, on average, 9.1 inches (23.3 centimeters) long — significantly larger than the penis bones of much bigger bears. Male polar bears, the biggest bears on Earth today, typically weigh 1,100 lbs. (500 kg), but their penis bone averages about 7.3 inches (18.6 cm) long, the researchers say.

The length of the penis bone could reveal details not only about the sexual behavior of Indarctos arctoides, but also the species’ ecological habits and mating system.

NEWS: How Birds Lost Their Penises

Based on the size of baculum, the researchers think the bear likely had fewer but longer periods of intercourse than other mammals. A long baculum, the study researchers say, could have served as a physical support during mating, helping to keep the female’s reproductive tract open and in an optimal position for fertilization during these sporadic dalliances.

Indarctos arctoides may have also had relatively large individual ranges and possibly a lower population density, giving rise to fewer sexual encounters, the researchers say.

The fossil record shows that the male Indarctos arctoides would have been much larger than the female. Previous research has suggested bear species with strong sex differences tend to have shorter penis bones and mating systems where males take multiple mates and fiercely compete for females. The fact that Indarctos arctoides had a relatively long bacula suggests it was a sexually selected trait that females used to assess mate quality.

The study was led by paleobiologist Juan Abella, of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. It was detailed Sept. 18 in the journal PLOS ONE.

SECU Landscaping Goes Native


The $27 billion State Employees’ Credit Union in Raleigh, N.C., has partnered with the North Carolina Botanical Gardens and architects O’Brien Atkins to develop landscaping templates for SECU branches using only North Carolina native plants. 

The idea was suggested by SECU member Tom Earnhardt, who is also the mastermind behind the award-winning program, Exploring North Carolina, which airs on local Raleigh PBS station WUNC-TV.

“Few places on this planet have the extraordinary diversity of plants found here in North Carolina, from the spruce-fir forests in our mountains to live oaks and palm trees on our Southeastern coast,” Earnhardt said. “It’s always seemed strange to me that some businesses, and even towns, often plant the same non-native trees over and over again. As a member of State Employees’ Credit Union, I was not at all surprised when the financial institution with the best member service in the state also agreed that it should look like North Carolina. Kudos to SECU for showcasing native trees, shrubs and flowers found in the regions where its branches are located. This is just another way in which SECU is leading the way.”

Vegetation native to North Carolina include plants such as black cohosh, trailing wolfsbane, yellow buckeye and pussy toes.

SECU representatives recently met with Earnhardt and officials from O’Brien Atkins and the botanical gardens to discuss the initiative, which will include demonstration projects at new SECU branches in each of North Carolina’s three geographical regions—mountains, piedmont and coastal plains.

“As a North Carolina cooperative, we look to promote and encourage projects that benefit our State and its citizens,” said David King, a director on SECU’s board. “This initiative will allow SECU to help NC-based nurseries, while stimulating local jobs and the economy. We look forward to working with our partner groups to go native with the SECU landscape.”

Dot Hinton, senior vice president of facilities services, said in addition to supporting locally-based businesses, the use of native landscapes will provide a greater chance of plant survival, thus reducing the costs of landscaping maintenance. 

“We appreciate Mr. Earnhardt for suggesting this idea. The positive effects of this effort will be seen and felt statewide,” Hinton said.

Conway farm a green classroom


CONWAY — Across 5.3 acres of this small hilltown, blue, purple and yellow perennials blossom, blueberries grow plump and a flock of laying hens roost.

On South Shirkshire Road in Conway, Lilian Jackman cultivates a perennial, herb and cut flower nursery, called Wilder Hill Gardens that utilizes sustainable methods and traditional farming techniques.

The buzzing garden also often becomes a classroom.

Over the past 25 years Jackman has owned the garden, about 100 students have learned to cultivate soil and propagate plants over the years.

Each gardening season Wilder Hill Gardens has two apprenticeship programs, one tailored to the serious home gardener or aspiring professional landscaper/grower, the second focuses on cut flower production and arrangement.

Jackman doesn’t offer housing and most students come from cities and towns close by. In addition to the practical learning, Jackman provides study material for students.

“Students get learning from both directions. They study and apply the hands-on experience,” Jackman said.

During the first apprenticeship, students learn to make table arrangements and boutonnieres and how to market. The second apprenticeship teaches students botany and soil science.

“Botany is essential if you want to be a grower,” Jackman said. “You need to know the structure of a plant.”

This summer, Julie Etter of Brattleboro was one student who spent the warm days learning to garden.

The 25-year-old has learned landscaping and the techniques for caring for plants.

“It’s been everything I was looking for without even knowing it,” Etter said. “There’s a lot of benefit to working with someone who has been here and has a lot of skills to share.”

Etter has always been surrounded by gardens. Her family had a vegetable garden, and in college she worked in gardening retail. Someday Etter would like to own a farm.

Jackman brings with her extensive experience in the field.

For 20 years, Jackman has worked in the garden and growing business.

She studied horticulture at the University of Connecticut. After school, Jackman worked on landscaping crews and orchards in her home state of Connecticut, as well as in Michigan and Florida.

Wanting to return to New England, Jackman moved to Conway 25 years ago, where she began Wilder Hill.

In addition to Wilder Hill, Jackman works on residential projects across western Massachusetts, including the Sustainable Energy Demonstration Garden at the Greenfield Energy Park. She also teaches at conferences throughout New England.

“I’m passionate about small scale agriculture,” Jackman said.

Wilder Hill Garden offers nursery, landscaping and wedding services.

On the nursery side, Wilder Hill has a pick-your-own garden operation using the different shrubs, fruits like blueberry, currant and gooseberry bushes, Asian and European pear trees, medicinal and culinary herb plants.

Jackman also provides a variety of landscaping styles from a formal vegetable garden to a terraced rock garden.

For weddings, Wilder Hill provides original floral arrangements using the wide range of flowers, grasses, shrubs, roses and herbs grown organically in Conway.
