THE GARDEN CLUB OF VIRGINIA

Journal
VOL LXI, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2016

The Garden Club of Virginia exists to


celebrate the beauty of the land, to conserve
the gifts of nature and to challenge future
generations to build on this heritage.

From The Editor


Virginia is rapidly running out of landfill space. Additionally, landfills
across the United States are responsible for about 1/3 of all methane emissions.
According to the EPA, food scraps and yard waste make up 20-30% of the waste
stream. Composting these materials lowers greenhouse gas emissions, cuts down
on space needed for landfills, reduces fuel necessary for trucking, and supplies us
with a valuable garden resource. To begin composting in your backyard, see page 16.

A Walk in the Park


by Martha Simkins
The Princess Anne Garden Club

he Princess Anne Garden Club will host the annual Board of Governors
Meeting of the Garden Club of Virginia, October 18-20, 2016, at the Hilton
Oceanfront Hotel in Virginia Beach. The theme for the meeting will be A
Walk in the Park, reflecting the completion of the PAGCs fulfilled pledge of $50,000
and its assistance in raising $190,000 in additional funds for upgrades to the exhibits in
the new Trail Center at First Landing State Park. It also reflects GCVs new pledge to
assist State Parks across Virginia.
The member clubs of the Garden Club of Virginia have been hosting Historic
Garden Week tours since 1929. Until now, these funds have been used primarily to
fund the restoration of Virginias historic gardens. In celebration of the GCV 2020
Centennial, these funds will also be pledged to support projects in Virginias State Parks.
The PAGC was admitted to the Garden Club of Virginia in 1938. Over the
years, the PAGC has accomplished many noteworthy projects. Most recently, the
club has pledged $75,000 for the gray water garden at the new Brock Environmental
Center, which has earned distinguished recognition as a Living Building from the
International Living Future Institute. However, the club is best known for its 76 years
of stewardship of First Landing State Park (formerly Seashore State Park). In 1940, the
club advocated with success the rerouting of a proposed highway from the wilderness
area of the park to its periphery. In 1957, PAGC established weekly study walks in
the park during its temporary closure and developed and circulated a slide program
emphasizing the value of preserving its wilderness area. In 1961, PAGC received
commendation from the Commonwealth of Virginia for our continued contributions
to the Park.
Since 2011, the club renewed its
commitment to the park by raising funds
for exhibits in the new Trail Center. In
2013, Nancy Dickerson received the de Lacy
Gray Medal for her leadership in promoting
conservation education at First Landing State
Park, and the PAGC received the Common
Wealth Award for the Bay Lab Project at the
Parks Bay Center.
The PAGC is very proud of its 78 year
membership in the Garden Club of Virginia,
is grateful for its continuing leadership, and
looks forward to many more projects in our
community.

Meet the President: Nina Williams Mustard


by Terry Buntrock
The Williamsburg Garden Club

ina Mustard became a member of the


Williamsburg Garden Club in 2000. Starting
her professional career as a chemist, she
soon fell in love with computers. The club noted her
professional history in data processing with accounting
and management skills, and immediately asked her to
join the board as the clubs treasurer. The position gave
Nina perspective for not only her local clubs activities,
but for the management, vision and programs of the
Garden Club of Virginia. Soon Nina was working with
GCV staff to redesign the Garden Club of Virginias
website. The result is an easily navigated communication
system for members, and an engaging public face that
tells the story of the mission of the Garden Club of
Virginia. Nina was honored in 2011 with the Massie Medal for this commitment.
Nina Mustard much prefers talking about the Garden Club of Virginia than about
herself. An instinctive problem-solver, she has a passion for organizational development
and efficiency, but she also has a keen interest in understanding people. Her friends will
tell you she actively pursues conversations and ideas with them in order to illuminate
their best talents, so she can encourage them to use those talents for the betterment of
the Garden Club of Virginia.
This active listening toward building a consensus has determined Ninas course for
her two years as President of the Garden Club of Virginia. Rethink the Flower Shows
is advice I am given again and again, says Nina. To that end, she was asked to chair a
Strategic Planning Committee, and one of that groups tasks was to canvas the clubs for
ideas. Her advice to anyone who will listen: Bring solutions, not problems.
The daughter of a physician, Nina grew up with her two sisters in coastal North
Carolina where summers were spent barefoot at the river shack. One of the things
she enjoys about returning to her hometown, Washington, is seeing the progress the
town has made in repurposing downtown buildings to create spaces for art galleries and
boutiques. They have really done an amazing job and its so much fun to go back and
see that it is thriving.
Nina and husband, Jack, enjoy a literal working relationship in that she is the
bookkeeper for the family engineering and design business. However, her ringtone for
his calls sing, You make me dizzy in the head, and their quick smiles and teasing jokes
convey a marriage that lights up with true friendship. Last year Jack surprised Nina
with the creation of a flower arrangers work room in their basement. A wide island is
surrounded with shelves that hold containers and supplies in easy, visible reach.
Two adult daughters, one son-in-law and three grandsons fill the Mustards spare
time. The other loves that fill Ninas heart are her doggie children, poodles Max and
Berry, who have no idea they are dogs.

Rose Notes

New Collection Features Low Maintenance Roses


by Lea Shuba, GCV Rose Chairman
The Hunting Creek Garden Club

s your new state Rose Chairman, I would like to


tell you that I am an organic gardener first and a
rose grower second. Although I dont have a single
tea rose left in my garden, I do grow old garden roses,
David Austen roses and Earth-kind roses, which means I
rarely have anything blooming in October. I have heard
many of you say that you dont grow roses because you
want to avoid chemicals in your gardens, too. I brought
these concerns to my first meeting with a very knowledgeable and responsive Rose Committee, and I am excited to
tell you about the test collection we plan to offer for next
year. We can all fully expect to exhibit beautiful tea roses in the fall without any spraying,
or even extra watering.
The Kordes Rose Company in Germany has been working for the past 25 years on
developing pesticide-free roses in response to their government banning chemical sprays
in public places. The company has made their way into the American market, and we
now have access to their hybrid teas, multifloras, grandifloras, shrubs and climbers.
While low maintenance and disease resistance are wonderful, these roses are also fragrant
and come in gorgeous colors. I encourage you to look them up online.
Peter Kukielski started testing the
roses at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in
THE
2010. While he kept up normal maintenance on most of the roses there, he
planted hundreds of Kordes roses of all
SHOP
kinds, and never sprayed them. After one
year, he stopped watering. They continued A Family Business Continues For Over 70 Years
to display lovely shape and color with
Lampshades
deep green pristine foliage. Members of
Of Every
our committee also have personal experidescription
ence with these roses. Bernice Walker of
Lamp repair
restoration

growing Beverly for a few years, and is
Fine
Furniture
very pleased with the rose. Pat Taylor of
and Gifts
the Boxwood Garden Club has seen these
roses in competitions recently and was
also very complimentary.
I hope that many of you will consider
ordering some of the GCV test collection
in the fall. You will be given the option of
ordering only one if you wish, as we know
many of you have small gardens and limited time. These should fit the bill. During
the coming year, the Rose Committee will
share additional easy-care roses with you,

Historic Garden Week All Year


by Meg Clement, Chairman, Historic Garden Week 2016-2017
Three Chopt Garden Club

istoric Garden Week 2016 is behind us and fall is approaching! With great
appreciation, we reflect upon our fellow members hard work and take great
pride in another successful event. The 30 local tours featured the camaraderie,
new friendships and hometown economic boosts that have long been associated with
this perennial celebration of spring. We can all be proud of the $631,553 net tour
proceeds generated during HGW 2016, a 5 percent increase from last year. Solicitations
of local sponsorships generated $173,067, a significant 30 percent increase from the
previous year and a positive endorsement of HGW from our communities. Transportation costs have declined by 30 percent since 2013 and statewide attendance reached an
all-time high of 26,500. HGW 2016 proceeds will be allocated toward State Park initiatives and the documentation and restoration of historic landscapes and gardens that are
visited and enjoyed by the public every day of the year.
HGW 2017 planning is now well underway.
Photography, advertising and budgeting for next years
tour have begun. In June, a two-day HGW Boot
Camp was held in Richmond. Tour chairmen and
other participants learned details of presenting their
tours and the current economics, media and technology influencing HGW. We will focus our attention
this fall on marketing efforts, press releases, digitization of the HGW Guidebook from prior years and our
relationship with the Virginia Tourism Corporation.
District meetings will be held across the state next
month to consider issues and opportunities that are
unique or special to those localities. Ticket sales, insurance and brochure initiatives will be addressed this
winter and next spring.

round only through the diligence
of our members, who provide many tangible, and intangible, benefits enjoyed by our
communities and the historical sites enriched by the revenues you help generate.

Thank you

You have helped the Garden Club of Virginia reach the end of another successful
fiscal year. Our members have achieved or surpassed many goals this year, and we are so
grateful to you.
The Annual Fund appeal raised $110,321.Every gift to the Annual Fund impacts
the GCV experience and makes it possible for the 47 GCV member clubs to have an
exciting and vibrant network of talented women offering each of us an opportunity to
grow and learn.
Likewise, the proceeds from the incredibly successful Historic Garden Week are a
gift from your club to the GCV. That gift comes directly from you, too, because of the
time and talent you contribute to the success of your own clubs tour.
Thank you for another year of keeping GCV roots strong and making its bloom
shine across the state. Like your own garden, we hope you will help us continue to
cultivate GCV and its activities through a gift to its 2017 appeal and through your work
on Historic Garden Week 2017.

Horticulture Grows on You
by Fran King
The Garden Club of the Northern Neck

he origins of the word horticulture date to the 17th century, and it is a word we
say with much frequency in the Garden Club of Virginia. We strive to learn about
horticulture not only to beautify, but also to serve as good stewards of the land.
We have many resources to draw upon for inspiration: records both in written and
artistic form. The Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators keep the visual form and
record alive by educating themselves and others about the history of botanical illustration and by celebrating the achievements of their members.
In Virginia, we have many sites of horticultural importance. Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond was recently named among the top botanical gardens in the
country. Many historic homes are filled with historic horticultural specimens, as are
many older cemeteries. Thomas Jefferson was a great student of horticulture, and his
flower gardens became a refuge where he spent a great deal of time.
Restoring Jeffersons gardens with accuracy requires rigorous research and careful
preservation. The heirlooms of the garden, like priceless antiques, tell us important and
fascinating stories about our past. But, unlike fragile relics in museums, living antiques
depend upon us for survival and are best preserved and enjoyed by growing them.
This years GCV Horticulture Workshop features Peggy Cornett, curator of plants
at Monticello. Her presentation will feature many varietiesfrom historic tulips and
ancient roses to heirloom annuals and perennials that have been collected, propagated, and preserved in the gardens at Monticello today. Please visit www.gcvirginia.org

Flower Arranging School


Contemporary Designs
September 27, 2016
Jepson Alumni Center, University of Richmond
by Lee Snyder
Harborfront Garden Club

ave you ever thought about designing a contemporary arrangement? Do you


know where to start? Flowers first? Container? Mechanics? Schedule? Do all of
those questions loom large over your head and make you crazy? Well, join the crowd.
Most of us have a basic knowledge of traditional arranging, so why is it that a
contemporary arrangement is so difficult to grasp? When we think of traditional arrangements we think of lots of flowers, but most contemporary arrangements require
restraint in ... oh ... EVERYTHING ... flowers, container and mechanics.
Our speaker for the day is GCVs own Meredith Lauter from the Garden Club of
Norfolk, who will take us on an amazing tour of discovery. She will help us understand
the process of developing these designs, from the choice of flowers to mechanics often
found in the most unexpected places. Join us, enjoy, and learn. See you there! Register

ClubNotes

Holly Maillet, Our Botanical Artist


by Margaret McLaughlin Grove
The Charlottesville Garden Club
The garden inspires my work and my work inspires my art, says recognized botanical artist Holly Maillet. Holly studied in the New York City area and at the urging of a
fellow artist, began the study of botanical art. She received certification in Botanical Art
and Illustration from the New York Botanical Garden in 2004.
Holly says, The love of art and love of gardening feed each other. One is
impressed when talking with her about her devotion to her art. In addition to commissioned work, she is one of four Garden Club of Virginia members whose work was
selected for the book, Native Plants of the Mid-Atlantic. This book, published in 2014,
raises awareness of native and endangered species. Her painting of a flame azalea appears
on the cover of the 2014-2016 GCV Directory and Handbook; her sisters wedding
bouquet is featured on the cover of the current Journal.

William D. Rieley Receives the


Garden Club of America Historic Preservation Medal
by Sally Guy Brown
The Garden Club of Alexandria

ill Rieley, landscape architect for the Garden Club of Virginia, was presented
this prestigious medal at the Garden Club of America Annual Meeting in
Minneapolis on May 22. The award recognizes outstanding work in the field
of preservation or restoration of historic gardens or buildings of national importance.
Will founded Rieley & Associates in 1980 with a practice focusing on historic
landscape preservation and exceptional landscape design. Will and his stellar staff
emphasize scholarly research that contributes to designs honoring the past while
accommodating the future.
Rieley & Associates designed the 179-acre Thomas Jefferson Parkway at the
entrance to Monticello. In addition, Will designed and oversaw the GCVs recent
restoration of Monticellos Kitchen Road and Mulberry Row. Other work includes the
design of gardens and landscape at Bruton Parish Church, Poplar Forest and
(Gay Mont) Rose Hill in Virginia, and the Carriage Road system at Acadia National
Park in Maine. The firm also did design work for the gardens of the University of
Virginia where Will taught for over 20 years.
Will was proposed for this GCA award by the Garden Club of Alexandria, with
Betsy Huffman spearheading the effort, aided by DeLane Porter of the Dolley Madison
Garden Club, who served as the Zone VII GCA Awards Representative. We are
grateful to the following, who wrote letters supporting Wills proposal: Staci Catron,
Director of the Cherokee Garden Library at the Atlanta History Center; Gordon
Chappel, former landscape architect for Colonial Williamsburg; Peter Hatch, former
Director of Horticulture at Monticello; Calder Loth, historian; Dean Norton, Director
of Horticulture at Mount Vernon; Sue Thompson of the Tuckahoe Garden Club of
Westhampton; and Zachary Rutz, landscape architect and recipient of the 2006 GCV
Rieley fellowship.
In 2005, the Garden Club of Virginia created the William D. Rieley Fellowship,
for the research and documentation of historic gardens not held privately, to honor
Wills work as GCV landscape architect. With the Historic Preservation Medal, his
legacy now reaches from coast to coast. Congratulations to Will Rieley!

An Introduction to Composting
by Kaye Moomaw
Hillside Garden Club

he Garden Club of Virginia is an organization that promotes conservation;


we should embrace composting, as we do recycling. Composting by a single
household can divert hundreds of pounds of material annually from the waste
stream. If we compost and recycle, we can reduce our trash flow into landfills by an
estimated two-thirds. The following offers a getting-started overview.
Start during garden/yard cleanup. Place dead leaves and dead stems from any noninvasive plants in a lawn bag, a trashcan no longer in use or an untended zone in your
yard. Save these dry, brown compost ingredients, which are valuable sources of carbon
and are harder to find during summer. Our never-ending junk mail, paper, food packaging and newspaper can become brown ingredients, if they are not glossy.
Compost beds also need nitrogen-rich green materials. These include vegetable
and fruit peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds, even seaweed. Collect these separately and
later, as they can go almost immediately into the compost pile once it has been created.
When collecting materials, avoid invasive weeds, including wiregrass, and heavily
scented items, such as oranges and onions, which repel soils microbiotic life. Also avoid
produce to which butter, oils and/or fats have been added. The same goes for meat
scraps or bones; these can attract flies, mice, pets or wild neighbors.
Find a place for your compost pile. It should receive some sun and have easy access
to water. Create a bed to provide drainage and air. Place sticks, roughly 2 inches in
diameter, or stalk material on the ground to a depth of 6 inches.
Add a layer of brown material. I use three times more brown material than green.
(If you have tried composting and the pile had an odor, it probably had too much green
material.) Keep layering throughout the spring to create a 4-foot square pile.
Aerating the pile every two weeks or so aids decomposition. Some composters
advocate using a pitchfork. No thanks! Poking the pile with the end of a broom or rake
works. Holes around the pile let in sufficient oxygen without the work.
Water your pile when rainfall is inadequate to keep decomposing ingredients as
damp as a wrung-out sponge. Test by taking a handful from just beneath the surface
and trying to form a ball. If it sticks together easily, it is plenty wet.
Temperature matters. An active compost pile should be about 140 degrees, hot
enough to kill weed and perennial seeds. You can purchase a thermometer made for
this purpose. Or you can insert any metal-handled object; if the metal feels warm to the
touch after sitting in the pile most of the day, your pile is hot and working.
After decomposition has had time to work its magic, you will be rewarded with
rich fertilizer. Composting can be enjoyable, as can seeing how much you can keep out
of the waste stream.
Editors Note: While information on composting abounds, Kaye Moomaw
recommends The Complete Compost Gardening Guide, by Deborah L. Martin
and Barbara Pleasant, Storey Publishing, 2008.

The Conservation and Environmental Studies Fellowship


by Anne Beals, The Rappahannock Valley Garden Club and
Tuckie Westfall, The Garden Club of Alexandria

n 2014, the Conservation and Beautification Committee of the Garden Club


of Virginia accepted the Long Range Planning Committees proposal to create
a fellowship for the study of conservation and environmental issues. The Board
approved unanimously the GCV Conservation and Environmental Studies Fellowship
at the January 2015 meeting to support research on the conservation of natural
resources and/or environmental studies concerning flora, fauna or community (cultural
practices) that directly impact the commonwealth. Undergraduate or graduate students
at an accredited Virginia college or university are eligible
The inaugural fellow, Nikki Andresen, was a senior at Virginia Commonwealth
University and volunteered in Dr. Bonnie Browns biology laboratory. When the
opportunity arose, Dr. Brown tells the story that after several weeks of pitching ideas,
Nikki hit upon the pitcher plant project. Her research centered on understanding what
soil conditions and nutrients pitcher plants require to maintain a healthy microbiome in
bogs and wooded wetlands. She presented her results at the 2015 Board of Governors
meeting in Martinsville. As we looked at her slides, she translated technical terms not
understood by the audience. Nikki is pursuing graduate studies in Denver.
The 2016-17 fellow is Paul Lacy, a junior at James Madison University, majoring
in Integrated Science & Technology. He is researching the differences between how
native and invasive plant species affect their hosting environments. By studying several
streams that support brook trout, an excellent indicator species for water quality, Paul
hopes his work will benefit stream restoration projects across the country and increase
knowledge about the effects of invasive plants.
It is gratifying that the fellowship is established and that applicants have applied
enthusiastically for the $4,000 stipend which has come from the GCV Conservation
Fund. However, the GCV needs to grow the fellowship component of that fund in
order to expand the number of fellowships. We hope you will agree with us that the
fellowship is a worthy endeavor and consider donating to this this fund. Gifts to the
Conservation Fund may be made at any time. Please specify Conservation Fund on the
memo line of your check.

Celebrating Irish Daffodils


by Janet G. Hickman, GCV Daffodil Committee Chairman
Hillside Garden Club

affodils are beloved flowers in many countries. This was especially apparent
last spring when the World Daffodil Convention and Show was held in St.
Louis. Of 229 attendees, 43 came from seven overseas countries. Worldcrossing friendships were formed and refreshed. Reading the labels at the daffodil
show revealed blooms of varieties hybridized all over the world.
Ireland is a country well known for quality daffodils. This years Garden Club
of Virginia Daffodil Collection is chosen to showcase some Irish varieties. Both
Acropolis and Manly are double daffodils hybridized by J. Lionel Richardson of
Waterford, Ireland. He was one of the premier daffodil breeders of his era, offering
his first catalog in 1922. His chance finding of a seed from an older double daffodil,
Mary Copeland, was the breakthrough in the breeding of doubles. (Prior to his
discovery, most doubles were considered sterile.) Many of our present double daffodils
trace their pedigree to his flowers and several, including Manly, Acropolis, Tahiti
and Unique, remain popular in modern catalogs.
The other varieties in this years collection originate in Northern Ireland. Goose
Green was hybridized by Sir Frank Harrison of Ballydorn Bulb Farm in Killinchy.
This daffodil breeding nursery dates from the 1940s and is the source of over 200
varieties including Jamestown, part of the 2012 GCV Collection. Currently, Brian
Duncan of Northern Ireland is described as one of the best known and most successful daffodil hybridizers and exhibitors in the world according to the American
Daffodil Societys Daffodil Journal. The varieties in the 2016 GCV Collection, High
Society and Prototype, are just two of the more than 700 he has registered to date.
While Irish daffodils are well worth growing for their beauty and garden
worthiness, they also have a special place in the GCV Daffodil Show. The Gale and
Lockwood Frizzell Award was established in 2009 by the Charlottesville Garden Club
in appreciation of the Frizzells for their expertise in daffodil culture. They particularly enjoyed traveling to Ireland, including visiting with Irish daffodil breeders and
growing their varieties. Thus, the award is given for the best vase of one stem each of
three different varieties of Irish blooms from Division 1 through 4. That means that
all except Prototype (Division 6) in this years collection are eligible for entry for the
award, as are any of the many Irish daffodils available. Its easy to check the origin of
your daffodils on www.DaffSeek.org. And its not too late to order more Irish bulbs
for your garden. The ADS website, www.daffodilusa.org, lists sources both in the USA
and Northern Ireland to order bulbs. Lets see lots of entries of Irish blooms at the
83rd GCV Daffodil Show, April 5-6, 2017, in Hampton, hosted by the Huntington
Garden Club.

If you have a business that needs to be seen, or if you know of one, the Journal is always
looking for appropriate advertisers to brighten our pages.
Please contact Penny Dart at apdart@gmail.com with your ideas.

The Garden Club of Virginia

Ex Libris

by Joan Pollard and Virginia Cherry, GCV Library Committee


The Petersburg Garden Club

ac Houfeks Reflections on a Coastal Garden


(printed in Virginia Beach, 2015, 94 pp.)
can inspire amateurs who want to turn their
own gardens into wonderlands. The author, a past
president of the Virginia Beach Garden Club, writes
from experience. She transformed an overgrown coastal
yard into three garden rooms that wrap around her
house. Photos by Ann L. Wright show
the metamorphosis.
The books preface says Houfeks gardens are
now home to a large and ever-expanding collection
of unusual plants. She has met the challenge of
building a cohesive and beautiful garden around
specimen plants and shares her experience. The
garden features plants and shrubbery for all seasons
and year-round enjoyment.
Houfeks offers tips, which include:
Look at overgrown plants in a new way, then prune to discover their inner beauty
while creating more planting space,
Observe where plants thrive, and relocate those that struggle,
Minimize maintenance through close plantings that crowd out weeds,
Use compost for healthy plants, and
Avoid commercial sprays and fertilizers.
Houfeks garden rooms provide cozy, relaxing areas. The White Garden uses
white perennials. The book offers 26 planting suggestions. The Oriental Garden
layout includes ferns, hostas and Japanese maples, along with 13 other plantings. The
Charleston Gardens 13 plants and shrubs include boxwood, hydrangea, holly, clematis,
snowbell and Poets Laurel.
A book highlight is its list of 30 of Houfeks garden favorites. The list includes
each plants botanical name, popular name(s), and season(s). Houfek offers growing
tips, along with her thoughts about each garden favorite. For instance, her listing for
Winter Into Spring is the Sambucus nigra, Black lace European elderberry. The
listing describes the plant as being a 6-to-8-foot shrub, with lacy, nearly black foliage.
In early summer, its pale pink flowers are a knockout against dark leaves. Butterflies
love the flowers, and birds love the fruit. The listing also gives growing information
that the plant does best with some shade, while needing moist soil.
The book takes readers into a garden featured on local and state tours, as well as on
the HGTV show A Gardeners Diary.
Editors Note: All profits from Reflections on a Coastal Garden will be
donated to the Norfolk Botanical Garden, on whose board the author serves.
