40th Anniversary Edition

For Members of the Tucson Botanical Gardens

Autumn 2014Volume 14 Issue 3

Ageless …

I’ve shared with you before the excitement that a new season brings. Our staff and volunteers spend their summer pruning, replanting, repairing, repainting and planning — all in preparation for you, our members and guests to enjoy, learn and experience all that the Tucson Botanical Gardens has to offer.

This season we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of when the City of Tucson turned over the deed of the Porter property to the Tucson Botanical Gardens. But age is relative — especially when we travel back to our roots: Bernice and Rutger Porter, our Founders and the early Garden Affiliates. Without their vision and dirt-under-the-nails hard work, the “public” in public garden would have been just a dream. From 1977 to 1983 the business of the Gardens began to evolve. That was a decade of “firsts.” The first gardens were installed, the first newsletter was published in 1977, the first Docent Class was held in October 1982, and in 1983 Rodney Engard was hired as the first Executive Director. But the Gardens’ history doesn’t end there. Right up to this very moment, as I write this, the Gardens continues to develop new firsts, as we prepare for a new visitor center and envision Tucson’s first Children’s Garden.

To understand the impact of the past 40-50 years we need only to look at a day this past July when Loma, a little 7-year-old girl, became a plant scientist.

It happened during the Gardens’ Plant Power Summer Camp. Loma spent the day discovering plants, dissecting owl pellets, cooking pizza and s’mores in her handmade solar oven and learning about Sonoran Desert plant adaptations. That evening she wanted to share with her family what she had learned so she created, on her own, a very complete PowerPoint presentation on Plant Adaptations. What makes this moment remarkable is not that Loma is only 7 and creating PowerPoints, or that she was inspired to share her knowledge; what makes this moment remarkable is that her family had no idea that Loma had an inclination towards science. Through her experience at a public garden — our Tucson Botanical Gardens — a spark was ignited and a future scientist, naturalist or plant and nature appreciator was born.

Happy Anniversary Tucson Botanical Gardens — it appears that we have much to celebrate!

The sun still beams hot, but the promise of reprieve lies on the orange-lit horizon and the pockets of shade from the sinking sun. A sigh of relief and the butterflies of joy fill the soul for the celebrations to come.

Celebrating the rich past of the Tucson Botanical Gardens begins with a look back at these images

from the past 40 years. Four decades of continuity and change…

Shown on the facing page, the Historical Garden, established in 1930, is located on two thirds of an acre. The oasis style represented in this garden is typical of large Tucson gardens dating from the 1920s to the mid-1960s. The Porter’s garden was noted for its diversity, largely due to the fact that Rutger Porter was a nurseryman. Today, the garden contains many of the original plants from the Porter estate including citrus, roses, privet, sweet olive, nandina, pomegranate, Aleppo pine, pyrancantha, iris, chaste-tree, jasmine and other plants of that era.

Originally a large grassy area off of the Porter’s sun porch, the Reception Garden was a favorite family gathering space. In the late 1970s the hardscape replaced the grass and in 1991 the raised stage was added and the Garden was renamed The Alice Holsclaw Reception Garden.

The Cattletank, installed in 1938, sits on a concrete base and was used every summer as a swimming pool before the water was released to irrigate the surrounding gardens.

The Cox Butterfly & Orchid Pavilion was the original site of the Herb Garden. Edna’s Shed occupied the site next to the Pavilion until it was relocated to the current Herb Garden in 2010. Conversations with Nina Porter Ford revealed that the move was appropriate because it placed Edna’s Shed where it belonged: next to the herbs that Bernice and Edna loved so much.

6 Autumn 2014

It is said that Tucson lacks a fall color season. It’s true that we have no forests of maples and oaks that go ablaze with color

to signal the coming of autumn. But some of our cultivated trees do have a notable color change —just expect it to come around Thanksgiving, or even later.

Arizona ash (Fraxinus velutina) is perhaps the most notable tree for its brilliant yellow fall foliage, though it may be at its peak closer to Christmas. This stately tree will grow in a classic spreading vase shape and is ideal for those seeking a form typical of eastern trees. Arizona ash is

Fall Color for the Tucson LandscapeManny Cuen & Michael Chamberland

native to Southern Arizona and can be found in the wild along washes with perennial water. It is therefore not especially arid adapted, but it can withstand our heat and cold without issue. This ash is a small tree suited for urban environments, though it is not as long lived as other trees.

Chinese pistache (Pistacia chinensis) is similar in appearance to Arizona ash. It grows larger and is longer lived. This tree needs room to spread to its 25 to 60 foot height and width. The fall foliage is typically yellow-orange with some varieties turning to scarlet red.

There may not be a better telling that fall has arrived than the changing color of oak leaves. Although most of our native oak trees are evergreen, it is the deciduous trees that give us fall color. One such tree is the Texas red oak, (Quercus buckleyi), a native of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. It is a moderate grower that can reach a height from 30 to 50 feet and spread as wide. Its large lobed leaves turn a stunning red.

For a smaller area in a landscape perhaps near a patio, Mexican buckeye (Ungnadia speciosa) makes a good choice. It is a native of the Chihuahuan desert and can be considered a small tree or a large shrub. In the fall the leaves turn an eye-catching golden yellow. The spring bloom of bright pink fragrant flowers is an even bigger contribution to color in the garden.

Pomegranates and crape myrtles, both grown for other attributes, throw in a fall color display to add to their value.

All trees and shrubs undergoing a fall color change are deciduous trees. They will drop their leaves and then go leafless and dormant for a time. It is the shutdown of the leaves that creates the color change. As the tree breaks down and recycles the elements of its green chlorophyll, the underlying colors within the leaf are revealed.

Bear in mind that fall color change is followed by leaf drop. These trees are not ideal for planting by a pool or near a cactus garden that will catch the leaves. An under-planting of shrubs or perennials works best. If the leaves can be left on the ground, they will slowly break down and add to the organic material in the soil.

OCTOBERCheck drip irrigation system timing, emitters, lines and decrease watering frequency with cooler weather.

Wean plants off regular watering to harden them up for winter protection against freezing.

Fall planting season begins, plant perennials and bulbs, hardy trees, shrubs, and cacti.

Sow desert wildflower seeds in late October.

Plant hardy herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme), bulbs, and cool-season annuals (pansy, petunia, violets).

Plant leafy winter vegetables.

Sow seeds of radish, carrot, peas, spinach.

Divide perennials, ornamental grasses.

Fertilize roses.

SEPTEMBERWatch for a post-monsoon dry spell, maintain warm season watering frequency if needed.

Plant trees, deciduous fruit trees (pomegranate, fig), shrubs, cacti and succulents.

Plant perennials (penstemon, verbena, evening primrose).

Start seeds for cool season herbs (dill, cilantro, parsley).

Start seeds for leafy winter vegetables (chard, lettuce, collards).

NOVEMBERCheck drip irrigation system timing, reduce watering for cool temperatures.

Finish up any planting from October, hold off on planting cold sensitive plants until spring.

Research your plants and learn which ones are cold sensitive, prepare cold weather covers. The average first frost arrives mid-November.

Bring cold sensitive potted plants indoors, if possible. Prepare to cover and protect sensitive plants outdoors when temperatures drop below 28°F.

Rake fallen leaves, use them to mulch beds or add them to the compost pile.

Watch for early frosts and cover tender plants.

Harvest Mexican limes.

BUTTERFLY MAGICOct. 1 to May 31, 2015

October means the start of Butterfly Magic in the Cox Butterfly and Orchid Pavilion. Butterfly Magic is Tucson’s only tropical but-terfly exhibit and one of the most diverse in the country. From October to May, the Gardens receive over 120 varieties of butterfly species from 11 different countries, creating a diverse collection for guests to enjoy several times throughout the season. In addition, the greenhouse contains an impressive selec-tion of tropical plants such as orchids and bromeliads. All of the butterflies in the Gar-dens’ exhibit are shipped to the Gardens in their pupae or resting stage. The staff carefully sorts and displays them in the window of the chrysalis exhibit. From there, guests can watch as these amazing creatures emerge naturally from their tempo-rary homes and learn to take flight before they are trans-ported in the greenhouse. All of these magical compo-nents are what make this ex-hibit a “must-see” attraction for Tucsonans and visitors.

Leave a Legacy at Tucson Botanical Gardens

Since the Gardens’ beginnings 40 years ago, bequests and other planned gifts have made a lasting impact and provided vital support for Tucson Botanical Gardens’ mission. These gifts touch every department and program, supporting horticultural therapy, providing Butterfly Magic to numerous school children, teaching another generation about gardening in the desert, and so much more.

Generous bequests and other estate gifts continue to make a lasting impact on the Gardens. A will is much more than a piece of paper. It is a way to create a legacy and continue your giving after your lifetime.

There are a number of ways that you can name Tucson Botanical Gardens as a beneficiary of your will. You can:Give a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate;Bequeath stock, bonds or real estate; orName TBG as a residual beneficiary. The Gardens will receive all or part of the remainder of your estate after all other bequests have been satisfied and final taxes paid.

You can designate your bequest to a particular department or program that is important to you. Or, you can leave your bequest unrestricted to meet the most pressing needs of the Gardens. Please contact us for suggested bequest language to share with your attorney or other adviser.

A planned gift is the most personal gift that you could give to the Tucson Botanical Gardens. But planned gifts also give back — and can help you prepare for your future. They may allow you to take sizeable income, gift, and estate tax deductions, and provide favorable capital gains tax treatment. Planned Gifts allow you to leave a legacy that fits your philanthropic goals.

For more information on planned giving, please contact the Development Department at 520-326-9686 ext. 25 or emaildevelopment@tucsonbotanical.org.Working together we can create a bequest that reflects your wishes and makes a lasting difference at Tucson Botanical Gardens.
