1 Williamsburg Area Council of Garden Clubs September 1, 2016 Newsletter WACGC website: President s Corner Are you as happy as I am to see September arrive this morning? I am so very pleased that these upcoming fall months will allow us to be outside to enjoy fall colors and cooler temperatures. We can look forward to fall gardening and the numerous fall events on our calendars. To those of you who have been traveling, welcome back to Virginia! Our fall WACGC general meeting is coming up this month on Friday, September 23, Please see Carmen s article for the details of the program! All club members are welcome! The Council has been asked again to hostess the upcoming Tidewater District fall meeting scheduled to be held at the Colonial Heritage Clubhouse on Monday, October 24, As the hostess Council, we will provide the centerpieces for the luncheon tables. Loy Holt is still serving as TD president and we want to support her in this role. We can do that if each of our twelve clubs will provide a pumpkin filled with a fresh design of fall flowers as the centerpiece. Please bring your pumpkin to the Clubhouse by 9:30am. Each table will seat 8 people. These centerpieces will be won by attendees of the district meeting! I am so thrilled about the Veteran s Memorial Marker that the WACGC is dedicating on Friday, November 11, 2016, at 1:30pm in Bicentennial Park! Make sure this date and time are on your calendar. (See page 2 of this newsletter for details.) I recently sent a letter to all of our member club presidents with the update on the Memorial project. The letter explains how individuals and clubs may contribute to this ongoing project and to the dedication ceremony. If you have any questions regarding the project or donations, please call me at or ggknowles@cox.net Happy Fall Gardening! Glenda Hospice House Club members will be on site planting pansies at Hospice House on Tuesday, November 1, at 9am. The rain date will be Friday, November 4 th. Please send your club s donation toward the purchase of these pansies to our treasurer, Ellen Schiavone. We are so privileged to support the Hospice House with our donations for the plants and the hands on opportunity to install them! Their smiling pansy faces greet those who enter!

2 WACGC September General Meeting All Garden Club Members Welcome Date: Friday, Sept. 23, 2016 (Note, the date of the meeting has been changed so it will not conflict with a Tidewater District event. ALSO, note the meeting will start at 9:30am) Time: 9:00 a.m. Registration and Coffee 9:30 a.m. Meeting and Program* Place: Ford s Colony Swim and Tennis Club** Host: Kingsmill and Ford s Colony Garden Clubs *Program: Barbara Ellis, former publications director at the American Horticultural Society and author of "Chesapeake Gardening &Landscaping: the Essential Green Guide," will be our speaker. The title of her presentation is Six Principles for Moving Your Garden Toward Sustainability. She will discuss how creating a greener yard and garden does not have to involve making life-altering changes. In this talk, Barbara Ellis will discuss a range of options from simple steps to ambitious projects that gardeners and homeowners can take to create beautiful, more sustainable gardens and landscapes that are attractive and healthy for humans, wildlife, pets, and the environment as a whole including the Chesapeake Bay and all its tributaries. Signed copies of her book will be available for sale in a smaller room outside the large meeting room. **Directions: Use one of the following two ways to enter Ford s Colony and reach the Swim and Tennis Club: 1. From Centerville Rd., turn in at the low brick wall marked Ford s Colony. Stop at the Manchester Gate Entrance Security Building to receive a vehicle Visitor s Pass. Continue to the stop sign; turn right onto St. Andrews. Take first left into the Swim and Tennis Club parking lot.

Carmen Hegge-Kleiser Veterans Memorial Marker Site Williamsburg American Veterans continue to be recognized and honored all across America. Williamsburg is no exception. Mark your calendars for Friday, November 11, 1:30pm, when the Veterans Memorial Site within Bicentennial Park will be dedicated. The Memorial Site planning committee has worked in cooperation with the City of Williamsburg staff to plan the establishment of the site within the Bicentennial Park, located behind the DeWitt Wallace Museum, between Court Street and Newport Avenue. The site is being funded by the Council of Garden Clubs and the City of Williamsburg. A Blue Star Memorial Marker will be the centerpiece of WACGC Newsletter Sep 2016, page 3
3 the site along with two benches and low maintenance plantings. The site will be handicap accessible and will allow visitors to easily enter the Memorial site. The marker will be visible from the street. Local officials, military representatives, and local veterans will take part in the dedication ceremony. VFGC president, Janice Clem and Blue Star Marker chairman, Barbara Hollister will be attending. All garden club members are welcome to attend. Anyone that would like to make a donation in memory of a loved one having served in the military can do so by sending a check, payable to WACGC, to Ellen Schiavone, WACGC Treasurer, at 3505 Hollingsworth, Williamsburg, VA Names of those veterans will be recorded in a Veterans Memorial Memory Book and your donation acknowledged. Funds will perpetuate the maintenance of the marker. The Council of Garden Clubs and the City of Williamsburg are proud to establish this site as a local memorial to all those who have defended our country, are currently serving, and for those who will serve in the future, on Veterans Day Rose Marie Crocco, WACGC Board member Arbor Day Please mark your calendar for our 2017 Arbor Day Awards Ceremony and Reception to be held Friday, March 10, 2017, at the Williamsburg Community Building, 401 N. Boundary Street in Williamsburg. Now is the time to take photographs of potential nominees. Nomination Forms have gone out to Arbor Day Committee representatives and to our Garden Club Presidents for distribution to their membership. Please note the November 1st deadline for submission of Nomination Forms. Our Committee will have its first meeting on Tuesday, September 13th, at 1:30 pm in the Towne Bank Monticello Avenue Branch meeting room upstairs. If you have questions, please contact Arbor Day Chairman Ellen Schiavone, or Co-Chairman Geneva Hunt, or Ellen Schiavone, Arbor Day Chairman Reduce, Reuse, Recyle: The Micro Gardener While searching the Internet, I found Anne Gibson s website, The Micro Gardener, who is a cancer survivor and created the site to help you grow good health to feel the satisfaction and enjoy the rewards of growing, cooking and eating life-giving, healing foods. What impressed me was Anne s depth of knowledge on a wide variety of topics, including reuse for uncycled broken pots. The article Crocks as Drainage lists ideas for reusing pottery shards, but I especially enjoyed this tip: Like many gardeners I used to add a layer of crocks, shards or gravel to the bottom of pots thinking this would help with drainage, but there is scientific evidence that the practice of adding larger pieces actually slows down the water rather than helping it flow the opposite of what you are trying to achieve. Placing 4-to-5 inch broken terra-cotta shards on the surface not only adds a protective moisture barrier but also keeps out those pesky squirrels and birds. (Squirrels will move smaller crock pieces but keeps out those pesky squirrels and birds. (Squirrels will move smaller crock pieces, so size is important here!) Want to know more?
