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 EditorThe idea of hidden treasures has an enduring appeal. An article in this issue

reminds us that some might be tucked away in our own closets, attics or basements. The piece refers to snapshots, Kodachrome slides and the like that picture historic or classic daffodil varieties whose seeds can no longer be found in catalogues or stores and whose likenesses cannot be found on the American Daffodil Societys database. Uncovered images would be treasure indeed to those engaged in garden restoration or those simply trying to identify species in their own backyards. Other bounty in these pages includes riches that can grow from the interrelation of humans, other animals and plants. And we have the wealth of the waters all around us that feed our watersheds, the value of which the drought-stricken in California know all too well. Such things suggest true abundance.

The Mill Mountain Garden Club received the Bessie Bocock Carter Award for its project, Scoop the Poop. is campaign is an ongoing public awareness program to educate the community about the effects of pet waste on our

waterways. When rain washes pet feces into our creeks and rivers, the bacteria in this fecal matter makes the water unsafe for drinking and

swimming. e Mill Mountain Garden Club members had 500 magnets printed to advertise their message, Scoop the Poop. ese magnets will be given to dog owners who sign a pledge promising to pick up their pets waste. e Mill Mountain Garden Club is also working with Roanoke Parks and Recreation Department to place signage and pet waste bag dispensers with compostable bags on the Greenway and in parks around the Roanoke Valley. Congratulations to the Mill Mountain Garden Club for initiating a true community conservation project.

ClubNotes e Middleburg Horticultural Symposium

by Peggy Rust Fauquier and Loudoun Garden Club

The 22nd Middleburg Horticultural

Symposium was held on a dreary Saturday in February at e Hill

School in Middleburg. Proceeds from this event benefit the continuing preservation of the historic Goose Creek Bridge.

e speakers combined knowledge and experience with beautiful photographs. Stories were relayed in a way that kept us all laughing. Speakers included: William Cullina of the Coastal Maine

Botanical Garden whose talk was entitled, Sugar, Sex, and Poison: Shocking Plant Secrets Caught on Camera.

Helen Dillion of Dublin, Ireland, educated guests on Dig It Up and row It Away.

Jonathon Wright, Horticulturalist at Chanticleer in Wayne, Pennsylvania, shared ideas for cool season container gardening.

omas Hobbs of Vancouver, Canada, discussed leaving an old garden and beginning anew in Is Your Cake Baked? Mine Was: Starting Over from the Ground Up.

e theme of our 2015 Symposium was Creating an Inspired Garden and Landscape. It could easily have been subtitled, If Laughter is the Best Medicine, We Will Live Forever. Who knew professional gardeners could be so much fun?

Phlox stolonifera or Creeping Phlox was one of many native plants for sale

at the Middleburg Symposium.

Tribute to Dot Montgomeryby Katty Mears, GCV Past PresidentGarden Club of the Eastern Shore

One of Dot Montgomerys first duties in the Garden Club of Virginia was to offer the opening prayer at the Annual Meeting. When handed the microphone, which had yet to be used that day, Dot began in her melodious voice, Dear heavenly Father, dear heavenly Father, can you hear me? Can you hear me? e ladies in attendance convulsed with laughter.

Dorothy Louise Harris Montgomery was born on May 30, 1924, in Spartanburg, S.C., a place that remained dear to her; it is there that she is buried. She was graduated from St. Marys School and Converse College. She earned a graduate degree at Columbia University and remained in New York as an assistant fashion editor at McCalls magazine. After marriage, she and husband James B. Montgomery moved to Martinsville where she spent her years until failing health led to a move to Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge in Charlottesville. Dot and Jim were devoted; ever supportive, he accompanied her throughout the state on her GCV endeavors. While in Martinsville, the twosome raised two daughters. ey gave staunch support to Christ Episcopal Church where they aided efforts to beautify the churchs interior and exterior. e Montgomerys also numbered among the founders of Carlisle School.

Dot led the GCV from 1982 to 1984 with graciousness, charm, the carriage of a lady and the undisputed hand of a steel magnolia. When she spoke, voice tinged with its southern accent, she could mesmerize while commanding attention. Her command of the English language and her mastery of vocabulary made it a pleasure to hear her or to read her work.

While presiding, often in one of her ultra-suede suits that were then the rage, Dot was instrumental in the creation of the GCV members handbook and Update, a spin-off of the Journal. She worked with the Conservation and Beautification Committee. She was ecstatic to see her dream of planting 13 Welcome to Virginia signs at state-line entrances come true. In order to realize the dream, she and the GCV collaborated with the Virginia Department of Transportation. In 2004, the GCV awarded Dot the well-deserved Massie Medal for Distinguished Achievement. She received it surrounded by her girls, members of the Martinsville Garden Club.

Dot Montgomery died on March 5, 2015. She stated in Follow e Green Arrow what she would like written on her tombstone:

Not all good, not all bad,Wife of Jim, mother of Lisa and Lou,

President of the GCV.ats plenty.

Continuing Dot Montgomerys Legacyby Karen Jones

e Martinsville Garden Club

Dot Montgomery could inspire others in the Garden Club of Virginia. Certainly, members of her own Martinsville Garden Club felt her influence profoundly. It began with something as fundamental as the way she treated others. When introducing people at GCV functions, for instance, she remembered every persons name, their husbands and children, and details about their lives.

She had a profound effect through her commitment to our natural world, made evident through her work as chairman of the GCVs Conservation and Beautification Committee. Dedication to conservation continued into her presidency of the GCV. She mentored members with grace and wisdom, and showed them how they could make a difference. She helped these women grow. ey learned how to take action that could have an impact on future generations.

Members of the Martinsville Garden Club find it appropriate to honor her legacy with a gift to the GCVs Conservation Fund, which supports the new Conservation and Environmental Studies Fellowship.

In the presentation of the 2004 Massie Medal for Distinguished Achievement, Dot was acknowledged as an avid advocate for environmental issues. We would be delighted if any other like-minded clubs would join us in increasing funds for conservation in Dots memory.

Past Perfect: Remembering Jean Printzby Ellen G. Godwin, GCV Past President

e Nansemond River Garden Club

Every organization needs a Jean Printz, 31st President of

the Garden Club of Virginia. She came to the presidency with extraordinary preparation acquired during 12 years

of service on the Board of Directors. rough all of those years, she was a meticulous and unflagging advocate for perfection and detail. And so it was in the beginning, and now at the end, her achievements speak the loudest.

During her presidency, the Common Wealth Award Fund doubled and Ecology Camp became a reality. New handbooks emerged for the Annual and Board of Governors meetings. Two restorations were completed, and two new ones were begun. Once, during her 20,000 miles of travels, she went to speak to the Tidewater clubs at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk when a bomb threat and evacuation occurred. She was prepared, though; she had escaped from Cuba minutes before Castro shut it down in 1958. She had gone there to visit her uncle, Walter Schuyler, for a few months and stayed 14 years. Her relatives warned, For heavens sake, dont ask Jean to visit you.

Wherever she was, be it Cuba or the commonwealth, Jean served her community in leadership positions. She drove an ambulance during WWII in Washington, D.C. She served on numerous boards; their number included the Daughters of the American Revolution, Virginia National Bank, the Miller School of Albemarle, Martha Jefferson Hospital and Martha Jefferson House, the University of Virginia Health Services Foundation and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Community Foundation. Her service also drew recognition as signified by awards. Among them was the GCVs Massie Medal for Distinguished Achievement.

Her 96 years, which ended Dec. 1, 2014, were filled with meaningful activity, especially checking for mistakes and typos. As GCV Parliamentarian, she published the only known correct Register (now called the Directory). Current President Jeanette Cadwallender, once Recording Secretary, recalls receiving requests from Jean for copies of the minutes of our Annual and Board of Governors meetings. Even from her nursing home bed, Jean was still checking up on us.

She astonished us all with her accounting skills, her computer savvy and her photographic memory, and terrified us with her ban on lobbying, her standards of excellence and her driving.

Jean was old school in a rapidly changing world, and she insisted, as does our President Jeanette, that we give special emphasis to the precepts set forth by our GCV founders.

Jean embraced us all with hospitality at her home, Wilton, in Albemarle County. Wilton was enhanced with every known variety of lilac, and it was here she boldly drove her tractor with both her Boston bull terrier and her companion from Cuba, Ruby, in hot pursuit.

ose of us who knew Jean Printz bear the marks of her grace, her kindness and her ability to bring out the best in everybody, provided you did it correctly.

2015 Garden Club of Virginia Horticulture Award of Merit

by Dianne Spence, GCV Horticulture Committee e Williamsburg Garden Club and e Garden Club of Gloucester

The Garden Club of Virginia Horticulture Award of Merit was established in 1960 to recognize individual members of local clubs who have achieved significant accomplishments in horticulture, both personally and in their communities. In May, three outstanding recipients were announced at the Annual Meeting in Norfolk.

Maggie Sue Creamer, e Elizabeth River Garden Club

Maggie Sue is a Tree Steward who shares her expertise with her community by promoting the importance of healthy trees in our lives. She is qualified to identify trees, to consult on tree selection, to demonstrate proper tree planting and to guide in the removal of invasive plants that threaten trees. Her home on the Elizabeth River has been named a River Star Home for her use of sound environmental practices. For 20 years, Maggie Sue and her family have maintained a flower and vegetable garden using these practices. She regularly helps at horticulture information booths at home and garden shows and has given talks on preserving cut flowers.

Betsy Eggleston, e Spotswood Garden Club

Betsy is a true gardener at heart. She incorporates her horticulture knowledge and artistic design abilities to create beautiful, manageable landscapes and gardens. After growing Garden Club of Virginia daffodil collections and attending shows, she became interested in the judging process and completed the three-year American Daffodil Society course to become a judge. She has built raised daffodil beds for better drainage and larger blooms which later became vegetable gardens. Betsy has been a facilitator and instructor for lifelong living programs at James Madison University where she has taught gardening and landscaping. During the fall session, she taught classes on container gardening for decks and patios and on small gardening projects for grandchildren and people living in small apartments. Betsys artistic ability along with her love of gardening, her desire for experimentation and the unexpected always provides beautiful and interesting results.

Louise LaBarca, e Garden Club of Warren County

rough Louises organizational skills, the Beautification of Front Royal was founded for the purpose of raising awareness of the importance of planting trees, shrubs and flowers throughout town. As a result, over $200,000 has been raised, more than 700 trees have been planted and hanging baskets of flowers adorn the streets of her community. In founding the beautification committee, Louise involved her own club members as well as members of three other county garden clubs. She instructed members on the selection and care of plantings to become familiar with the towns horticulture. She is an active Tree Steward and founding member of the local chapter of the Urban Forest Council. Louises enthusiasm is contagious.

Common Wealth Award Nominationsby Katherine Knopf, GCV Awards Chairman


The Common Wealth Award Committee is excited to announce two finalists for the 2015 Common Wealth Award: The Blue Ridge Juvenile Detention Center, proposed by the Charlottesville and the Rivanna garden clubs and the Discovery Museum Green Roof Top, proposed by Winchester-Clarke Garden Club. There will be a first-place and a second-place award given this year. The first-place proposal will win $10,000 and the second-place winner will receive $4,000. The winners will be announced at the Board of Governors meeting this October.

Remarkably, both projects chosen as our 2015 finalists educate children about gardening. In both gardens, one in a juvenile detention home and one on a museum rooftop, children will raise vegetables and herbs and learn about nutrition. They will see the cycle of starting plants from seed, observe their change and growth, and learn about watering and maintaining gardens. It is outstanding that the Garden Club of Virginia gives time, talent and treasure to educate so many.

The projects selected exemplify the criteria for the award in the areas of conservation, beautification, horticulture, preservation and education. Both projects will enrich the Commonwealth of Virginia by teaching the skills of gardening to future generations. Please discuss these projects in your clubs and plan to vote on them in your September meetings.

The Blue Ridge Juvenile Detention CenterSubmitted by

The Charlottesville and Rivanna Garden Clubs

The Charlottesville and Rivanna garden clubs are joining forces to create a beautiful garden in a desolate and isolated spot. The location is behind a prison fence topped by razor wire on the site of the Blue Ridge Juvenile Detention in Albemarle County. Rivanna member Sally Nelson has been a visitor to this facility for many years, and it was at her insistence that the two clubs visited last October.

The BRJD serves approximately 300 residents per year ranging in age from 10 to 17. Residents come from several counties in central Virginia and their length of stay varies. This 40-bed facility provides educational, mental and medical services and is part of the Charlottesville City School System and the Virginia Department of Corrections. It currently has a small garden with two greenhouses and nine raised beds. The counselor in charge is an accomplished gardener and is eager to expand the garden to teach the residents building and small business skills.

The clubs plan is to enlarge this garden from its current size of less than 0.4 acres to 1.5 acres. Heirloom vegetables, fruit trees, berries, native trees and shrubs grown organically will be offered for sale. We will need support from the entire gardening community to make this garden flourish. In addition to raising funds, we will be helping with the design and management of the project, including reaching out to businesses and fellow gardeners to help create a beautiful garden to inspire and engage the young people living there.

e Discovery Museum Green Rooftop

Submitted by Winchester-Clarke Garden Club

In concert with the mission of the Garden Club of Virginia, the Discovery Museum offers a green rooftop project that celebrates the beauty of the land, conserves the gifts of nature and challenges future generations to build on this heritage. rough preserving and adding to the existing rooftop gardens with its accompanying educational and conservation activities at the museum, over 55,000 visitors each year will benefit by the Garden Club of Virginias support. e Discovery Museums project is three-fold: 1) Preservation

A permanent garden bed flourishing on the Discovery Museums green roof is sponsored by the Winchester-Clarke Garden Club. ree-hundred square feet of plantings support the museums mission to inspire learning via cultivars that are safe (non-toxic), durable, attractive, and to the extent possible, multi-seasonal; native species are favored. In addition to maintaining these beds, two additional veggie boats are needed to supplement four galvanized teaching tubs used for pizza gardens, root crops, herbs and more.

2) EducationInspiring a love of gardening will occur through a weekly series of classes offered five months of the year for two years. Children and families relish the rooftop gardening that highlights vegetables and nutrition, pollinators, horticulture and preservation of native species.

3) ConservationAn appreciation of the finite quality of natural resources will occur through water and weather instruction. A rain barrel accompanied by weather measurements will show environmental conditions that affect horticulture. ese tools will be instrumental in educational signage and programs that promote conservation.


2014 Fellowships Research on Viewby Mary Ann Johnson, GCV Fellowship Committee Chairman


Results of the work by the 2014 Garden Club of Virginia Research Fellows are now available online through the Fellowships link on the GCV website.

James Carroll, the William D. Rieley Fellow and an MLA candidate at the City College of New York, was assigned the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria. Originally a home site, it became the location of Fort Ellsworth in 1861. A faint footprint of the timber and earth fort can be discerned today. In the early 20th century, the Alexandria-Washington Masonic Lodge built a memorial to George Washington on the site. Washington, a Mason, served as Charter Master of the Lodge at the same time he served as President of the United States. The Olmsted Brothers firm was intimately involved in the master plan, designing a winding drive and an elaborate series of terraced walks, steps and retaining walls.

Cheryl Miller, the Rudy J. Favretti Fellow, earned a Certificate of Landscape Design from Harvard Architectural College as well as a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology from the University of Chicago. She is currently enrolled in the Masters Program in Historic Preservation at The Boston Architectural College. Her research site was Belvoir Farms Estate in The Plains. Originally part of an 8,000-acre grant to Reverend Alexander Scott, 343 acres were purchased in 1906 by Fairfax Harrison, a Southern Railway president and Northern Virginia historian. The Harrisons added to the tenant house on the property, which was built by Richard Rixey as early as 1792, and made it their residence. They renamed the estate Belvoir, after the home of Harrisons ancestor, William Fairfax.

Mrs. Harrison was a major force in the early years of the Garden Club of Virginia and the Garden Club of America. While she was intimately involved in the design of her elaborate garden, she engaged the Philadelphia landscape architecture firm of Oglesby Paul. Paul designed the Montpelier garden for the DuPonts as well as many other estate gardens. Belvoir, now 760 acres, has been under the current owners care since 1976. Most of the plants have been lost, but the surviving walls, pergolas, teahouse, monopteros, steps, bed outlines and landform provide the historic context of the gardens. The current plantings are well maintained and offer a lovely glimpse into the earlier landscape.

The written histories, documentation and drawings of two significant and unique historic Virginia properties have been preserved and recorded through the work of the 2014 Garden Club of Virginia Fellows.

Club NotesCornus florida Flourishes Again

by Dianne Pfizenmayere Augusta Garden Club

The Augusta Garden Club is endeavoring to restore the dogwood, Virginias state tree, to the heart of the Valley. In a joint venture with the City of Staunton, the club will plant more than fifty Cornus florida specimens in Gypsy Hill Park. Using a club grant of $3,000 over two years, 27 trees were planted last year (22 with club funds). is project earned the city national recognition from the Arbor Day Foundation as a 2014 Tree City USA. irty two will be planted this year, 22 with funding from the club.

Co-Chairmen Kathy Moore and Karen Santos of the clubs Civic and Community Projects committee have worked diligently with Matthew Sensabaugh, City of Staunton Horticulturist, to select cultivars suitable to the mid-valley. Among these are Appalachian Spring (white flowers, particularly resistant to dogwood anthracnose), Cherokee Brave (dark pink flowers), Cherokee Princess (large white flowers, very resistant to spot anthracnose), Cloud 9 (white flowers, very hardy), Karens Appalachian Blush (white flowers with a dusting of pink) and Jeans Appalachian Snow (white flowers, a new introduction with good fall color).

An excellent, comprehensive source for information on dogwoods, Dogwoods for American Gardens, may be downloaded from the University of Tennessee. Dirrs Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs is another excellent source.

DaffodilNotesDo You Have a Daffodil Treasure in Your Closet?

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

When I took the position of Garden Club of Virginia Daffodil Committee Chairman, prior Chairman Lucy Rhame gave me lots of good advice. She also gave me many plastic crates full of old records, reports and miscellaneous objects. Going through this bounty, I found a small red metal box of Kodachrome slides. Some were from 1966, but most were marked 1953. ere is no clue as to the photographer; indeed, many photographers may be responsible because there is a variety of handwriting on the slides.

I call this a treasure because the images were of historic and classic daffodils, many of which had no photos available in the American Daffodil Societys database, DaffSeek. DaffSeek has been called perhaps the most complete database of any plant cultivated; although it has information about 23,600 varieties of daffodils, many older ones lack illustrations.

e GCV slide collection added more than three dozen previously unavailable images. e slides pictured were chiefly flowers from past GCV test collections with colorful names such as Aladdins Lamp, Chastity, Glitter, Mangosteen and Osage.

What is the value of a photo of a daffodil that no one sells these days? Compulsive list makers, like me, enjoy just the idea of a more complete database, and those of us with older gardens seek each spring to identify blooms as they appear. A more complete DaffSeek improves our chance for a correct identification, especially if the database has been enriched with prior GCV selections. Hybridizers researching the pedigrees of varieties are helped by illustrations of older crosses. In restoration work, it is helpful to know what would have been planted in prior decades.

Do you have a similar treasure in a closet or box in the attic? I have heard from one excellent gardener, I threw all of that out when we moved. Dont miss a chance to preserve daffodil images. If you have old slides or prints, labeled with the variety name, I would love to hear from you.

If you would like to see the GCV collection, go to www.daffseek.org; click on expanded menu, then enter Garden Club of Virginia under photographer and submit query. You will see a list of 45 daffodil entries to peruse.

Know Your Watershed Addressby Anne Beals, Conservation and Beautification Committee

e Rappahannock Valley Garden Club

In early January, I found myself in Vermont about 10 miles from the southern border of Quebec where I was privileged to observe a big lake in the process of freezing over. A couple of days at 20 below zero and liquid water becomes something people and moose! can walk upon. A very deep glacial lake, it occupies what can only be called a miniature continental divide: any water that drains from the south end goes into the Connecticut River system and travels through much of New England; the water that leaves from the north end of the lake goes to the St. Lawrence system, joining many other sources on its way to the Great Lakes. Countless creeks and waterfalls feed it from the surrounding mountains. e water is clear and clean and supports huge populations of trees, wildflowers and crops, as well as birds, fish and mammals large and small, including humans.

In which watershed do you live? We should all be aware of our watershed address. We should know where the runoff from our streets, farms and yards ends up, and what route it takes. Most of us in the Garden Club of Virginia live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, which contains the Potomac, Rappahannock, York and James rivers and Eastern Shore drainages. Others live in the South Atlantic region, which contains the Chowan and Roanoke rivers. Dont jump to conclusions; just because you live near a particular river, dont assume it is yours. Our farm in Spotsylvania is less than 10 miles as the crow flies from the Rappahannock, yet it is in the York system.

For more watershed information, visit VASWCD.org. Our local Soil and Water Conservation Districts are a wealth of information. e Department of Game and Inland Fisheries website, DGIF.virginia.gov, also contains watershed maps under the Education heading to satisfy your curiosity.

Knowing where the water we use ends up helps support efforts to keep our larger environment clean and healthy. No matter where you reside, be aware that the watershed in which you live supports your life and the lives of generations that follow.

Cast Your Bread on the Watersby Ellen Dyer Davis

Gabriella Garden Club

To teach us to be generous, my mother reminded us frequently to Cast your bread on the waters and it will surely come back to you.

At the rear of my home, facing my garden, I have a wonderful Florida room. I enjoy this room year round and especially derive pleasure from feeding the birds outside. I once won a birdfeeder from my garden club for having the most feeders at my home. (Actually, I tied with Lois Mengel.)

Last summer, I noticed a small tomato plant growing under my gardenia bush, although I have

never planted one. More plants appeared and were soon taking over one of my borders. I began harvesting a lot of grape tomatoes.

My family, friends and I were really enjoying this gift but wondering from where it came. One of my sons suggested that the birds had dropped the seeds. I could hear Mother say, Cast your bread

e plants returned the next summer, again providing many tomatoes. What a perfect barter system!

ClubNotesProtecting Natural Bridge

by Ann Murchison e Blue Ridge Garden Club

Recently, Jennifer Bell, Director of Operations, Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund, Inc., spoke to the Blue Ridge Garden Club on the status of Natural Bridge. Saving the Natural Bridge property from being subdivided and lost to the public has been the result of a successful collaboration.

Conservation and civic organizations have been working to ensure that Natural Bridge and its acreage will be preserved. ose involved include the Blue Ridge Garden Club, former Natural Bridge owner Angelo Puglisi, agent Woltz and Associates, Inc., buyer Tom Clarke of Kissito, Inc., and the VCLF, as well as national, state and local governmental agencies and elected officials. It is expected that Natural Bridge will be transferred to the Department of Conservation and Recreation as a State Park in 2016. Natural Bridge will join the other 12 parks in the Partnership for Parks campaign, co-sponsored by the Virginia Association for Parks, Virginia State Parks and the Garden Club of Virginia.

e VCLF was honored with the 2015 Governors Environmental Excellence Award gold medal. Bell revealed plans to raise funds for an interpretive display of omas Jeffersons cabin, a NOAA sphere depicting effects of climate change, and a Native American longhouse. June kicks off the Natural Bridge Kids Club, which features daily activities for visitors.

Ex Librisby Joan Pollard and Virginia Cherry, GCV Library Committee

e Petersburg Garden Club

D affodils in American Gardens, 1733-1940 by Sara L. Van Beck is a new addition to the Garden Club of Virginia library. e book was published February 2015 by the University of South Carolina Press. Daffodils were first identified around 1550; since then, more than 28,000 daffodils have been documented and included in the Royal Horticulture Society of Englands collection. Daffodils were originally considered wildflowers and spread throughout the Mediterranean, European mountain ranges and along the coastal areas. Van Beck, historian and horticulturist, examined gardening by era: European beginnings, Colonial, Federal, Antebellum and Victorian periods. Also, the author writes of the importation of flowering bulbs to Colonial America. e book includes nearly 200 color and black-and-white botanical illustrations.

From 1733 to 1860, daffodils were planted by Virginians in front of hedges and surrounding vegetable gardens. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution and movement of people to the western United States, flower gardening came into its own as a leisure pastime. During the Civil War, the South halted flower gardening due to lack of labor; Westover Plantation turned its flower gardens into vegetable gardens, which were later replanted.

An interesting chapter explores daffodils in cemeteries. e rural cemetery movement began in the early 1800s and lasted into the early 20th century. Daffodils were prevalent.

e last chapter includes case studies of surviving gardens and how old daffodils have survived erratic and unpredictable changes over time.

Van Beck surveyed historic properties in 11 states including Virginia. She is an officer of the American Daffodil Society, a museum curator with the National Park Service, and a former president of the Georgia Daffodil Society.

ClubNotesA Hike With Jeanette

by Beth Sibbicke Martinsville Garden Club

Jeanette Cadwallender, President of the Garden Club of Virginia, attended the joint meeting of the Martinsville Garden Club and the Garden Study Club on January 28th. Knowing that part of her message would be about the exciting new Partnership for Parks, the two clubs scheduled a hike with Jeanette at Fairystone, our own local State Park. On that cold day with a brisk wind, we put on plenty of warm clothes, gloves and hats, and off we went to the park where we were given an informational tour. We gained a new perspective on our own park as well as other parks around the state. We had great fun and are excited about this new partnership.
