De rode draad door alle wilde manoeuvres van Donald Trump is zijn ambitie om de politieke verhoudingen op wereldschaal fundamenteel te veranderen. Hij wil daartoe een deal sluiten met Vladimir Poetin en dan samen met Xi Jinping. En daarbij zijn Volodymyr Zelensky en de Europese Unie alleen maar lastige obstakels. Maar hoe doe je zoiets? Hoe krijg je de 'grootmachten' bij elkaar en kom je tot een succesvol machtsevenwicht? Daarvan kent de wereldgeschiedenis een zeldzaam en uniek voorbeeld. Het Congres van Wenen in 1814-1815 bracht de allergrootste heersers in Europa en wereldwijd bijeen. Keizers, koningen, de tsaar en hun diplomaten streken neer langs de Donau en palaverden. Een leerzaam en inspirerend relaas. Met tal van waarschuwingen uit de finesses van het spel om de macht.‘Wenen' mondde uit in een groot verdrag dat de kaart van Europa geheel opnieuw tekende. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen het verhaal van maanden van onderhandelen, spioneren, sjoemelen en ‘the art of the deal'. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***We weten heel veel over Wenen van toen. Dankzij brieven, dagboeken, spionageverslagen en memoires van even kleurrijke als briljante mensen die zich met het machtsspel bemoeiden. Een van hen was een Belgische prins die de lieveling was van de Weense salons, iedereen kende en met ze roddelde: Charles-Joseph de Ligne. Een ander de Pruisische geleerde en ambassadeur Wilhelm von Humboldt, bevriend met Goethe. En de sluwe ras-opportunist Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, die evengoed koningen en keizers diende als de revolutie.Zo kunnen we op de voet volgen hoe de sleutelfiguur van dit Congres - gastheer Klemens von Metternich - alles zo organiseerde, dat hij de spin in het web was en bleef. Hij zorgde dat het eindresultaat een groot succes werd. Zijn slotverklaring en het verdrag zorgden decennia voor rust en vrede. Daar zijn dan ook belangrijke lessen uit te trekken voor de grootmachten van 2025. Heeft Trump een idee van zo'n wereldwijd machtsevenwicht of zit hij vast in denken over vazallen en het uitruilen van territoria, van Panama tot Groenland en van de Donbas tot Taiwan?Hebben Poetin en Trump basisbeginselen voor een wereldwijd akkoord die leidt tot een nieuwe balans? Metternich had dat en warempel lijkt Xi Jinping nog het meest op hem. Het Congres van Wenen was niet alleen hard werken aan politiek en diplomatie. Het was het ultieme society event. Gekroonde hoofden, kunstenaars, spionnen, charmante dames en journalisten werden door Metternich en het frivole hofleven van Wenen vermaakt met eindeloos entertainment. Bals, opera, banketten, jachtpartijen en salons volgden elkaar maandenlang op. “Hoe loopt het congres? Het congres loopt niet, het danst”, klonk het lachend. Zelfs Beethoven pikte er een graantje van mee! Door een doordachte en innovatieve, rationele organisatie van de onderhandelingen lukte het Metternich om alle neuzen dezelfde kant op te krijgen. De tsaar, het Britse Empire en Habsburg kregen wat zij ambieerden. Pruisen werd een nieuwe grootmacht en ondanks Napoleons nederlaag werd Frankrijk als belangrijk land in ere hersteld. Niemand van de grootmachten bleef gefrustreerd en wraakzuchtig achter. De slachtoffers van destijds zijn verbluffend actueel: Polen, Moldavië, de Balten, Oekraïne, Italië en vooruitstrevende Duitse idealisten. Zo valt er voor ons in 2025 van alles te leren nu de grote wereldspelers als in Wenen toen een nieuw machtsevenwicht lijken te willen opleggen. Heeft de EU haar ambities en rol op orde hierbij? Wie is de Metternich van nu?***Deze aflevering bevat enkele muziekfragmenten: Wellington's Victory (Beethoven / Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan), Hoffnungsstrahlen (Joseph Lanner), Der Glorreiche Augenblick (Beethoven)***Verder luisteren487 - Donder en bliksem in het Oval Office484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO458 - De gedroomde nieuwe wereldorde van Poetin en Xi455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor373 - Nederland en België: de scheiding die niemand wilde350 - 100 jaar Henry Kissinger339 – De geopolitiek van de 19e eeuw is terug.

Ah, the tale of Théodore-Charles-Joseph, baron de Gargan, one of the owners of the Villa Vauban back in the day, a gentleman of exquisite vintage hailing from the quaint town of Inglange, Moselle, where life was a potpourri of fine wine and cheese. Born on August 9, 1791, his earthly journey concluded with a final flourish on November 6, 1853. Why is his persona important for Luxembourg? Well, apart from the villa ownership fact, he was one of the first mining heralds – the sphere where Luxembourg made a bank on after his time. So you could say he was ahead of the curve, and figured way too early what would build a legacy (or a fat bank account, but those are technicalities

Intro Reminder of charity event on 12/18 Background (4:02) Moira MacTaggert created by Chris Claremont & Dave Cockrum in Uncanny X-Men #96 (Dec. 1975) Moira Kinross had been dating Joseph MacTaggert prior to meeting Charles Xavier, but left Joseph to become engaged to Charles Joseph managed to convince Charles to serve in the military in order to be “worthy” of Moira, and while he was gone, he worked his way back to her and forced her to break off the engagement After they were married, Joseph became abusive, and when Moira ran away, he tracked her down, beat her and raped her, leaving her in a coma for a week - the child would later become Proteus Studied genetics and founded a mutant research center on Muir Island, and reconnected with Charles, pushing him to form his school Moira ran a school of her own, training mutants who were outcasts - it was this group of students (including Cyclops' brother Vulcan) that Charles first sent in to rescue his captured team, but the children were all seemingly killed, and Charles wiped everyone's mind out of shame Showed up at Xavier's school claiming to be a “housekeeper” to help Charles keep an eye on the school, and she fell in love with Banshee Kept Proteus confined at Muir Island to protect the world, but he escaped, and she was forced to reveal the truth to the team and Joseph, who was unaware he had a son for 20 years Also helped David Haller cope with his unstable powers before bringing in Charles and helping him with his son Contracted the Legacy Virus, and seemingly died in an attack on Muir Island by Mystique and the Brotherhood House of X/Powers of X revealed a massive retcon - Moira had been a mutant all along, with the power of reincarnation and the ability to recall everything from her previous life - she used this information to attempt to alter history several times, both siding with and trying to fight against mutants An encounter with Mystique and Destiny in her 3rd life reveals that she will only get 10 or 11 lives She is responsible for bringing together Charles and Magneto, along with Apocalypse and several other mutants, to create the nation-state Krakoa as a haven for mutants, although she is operating behind the scenes - her previous death was retconned as that of a Shi'ar golem She, Charles, and Magneto establish resurrection protocols for all mutants on Krakoa, but Moira specifically wants to prevent Destiny or any other precognitive mutants from being resurrected, lest they discover her or her plans - when Mystique manages to have Destiny resurrected anyway, Moira has Emma Frost brought into the fold, only for Emma to reveal Moira's existence to everyone - Destiny & Mystique shoot Moira with Forge's mutant removal gun, turning her back into a baseline human, and exiling her from Krakoa Before she dies, she transfers her mind to an Omega Sentinel Was one of the protagonists of AXE Judgment Day, where she sells out Krakoa and mutants to the Eternals as revenge for kicking her out Issues - Theme is Groundhog Day Gone Wrong (13:28) Mad scientist archetype - experimenting on your own kind Manipulating the future (20:30) Imprisonment of your own son - later revealing his birth was purely for scientific purposes, but that wasn't canon at the time (28:02) Break (36:39) Plugs for Frigay the 13th, Hops Geek News, and Gail Simone Treatment (38:49) In-universe -  Out of universe - (43:34) Skit (50:42) DOC: Hello Dr. MacTaggert, I'm Dr. Issues. MOIRA: Going for the formal helps with the disassociation, I see. DOC: *pause* So, do you prefer Moira, or MOIRA: Don't be dense, Doc. It's beneath you. DOC: I was trying to be witty, but I guess I failed…or you didn't catch it because you're too engrossed in analyzing me. MOIRA: It's a habit. Not a bad one, really. When you've done this as many times as I have, you have to find ways to amuse yourself. DOC: Done what, exactly? MOIRA: All of this. The analysis, the prodding, the experimentation, incarceration, exploitation… *realizes there's a pattern here* isolation, incineration…  DOC: Well- MOIRA: Objectification… deviation…  DOC: Doctor MacTaggert- MOIRA: Oh, discrimination, can't forget that one…  DOC: Can we please move on? MOIRA: *inspired* Infantilization DOC: You've made your point. MOIRA: I wanted to see how long I could keep it up. DOC: Oh believe me, I would listen to you all day if I didn't have other things to do, because it's clear that I don't have a role in your world otherwise. Not my circus, not my monkeys…and NO, that's not a shot at any group of people, if you're going to try and exploit that comment. MOIRA: Oh, no one has a role in my world. Or at least no one has a role they're willing to play properly. That's been the trouble over these lives, if they'd just listen to me we could've had such an easy go of things. But no matter how many times I try, I cannot get people to listen. So don't take it personally doctor, there isn't a being on this planet - human or mutant - that is on my level. DOC: Of course not. You created your own level. Who wants to get on it? Well, that's a different story. You're not matching the incentives of others, so they're disinterested…antagonistic, even. Projective identification. MOIRA: Oh don't come at me with that nonsense. I've tried to match incentives. I've done the work in ways you can't even imagine. I've gone through torturous lifetimes that would make your soul weep. The end is always the same - death and pain for everyone. So I'm trying a new tactic, and I'm going to prevent the pain from even starting. But no, I have to deal with zealots like Erik who fight for the purity of it all, or hopeless optimists like Charles who believe in a harmony that will never exist, or warmongers like Apocalypse who revel in the pain. I created my own level because no one else actually wants to keep people from suffering. I came close… I had a utopia… and they hated me for it. So now I'm done cooperating, I'm done pretending to be nice Moira. I'll give them the world they don't know they want, and they can thank me later. Or not. Either way, they're getting it. DOC: Fatalism. Next? MOIRA: Oversimplification. Next? DOC: It's not my fault if you collapse all of your trauma into a term that any undergraduate could look up in seconds. I think your collective experience yields more wisdom than that. But you already know that, don't you? MOIRA: There are no words in English, Krakoan, or any other form of communication on this planet that could define what I have gone through.  DOC: Then stop using those languages. You get to make your own definitions. You're too smart to get yourself bogged down in existentialism. I get that. But you've cut too much meat off of the bone. That's a flavorless existence. MOIRA: Mixed metaphors,*tsk tsk tsk* you ought to be ashamed of yourself. DOC: Deflection. Good one. MOIRA: And what is your role in all of this? You play along with the “heroes”, deluding yourself into believing you're “helping” make things better, all in service of some greater good that does. Not. Exist. And all the while the world hurtles towards its inevitable extinction. You are… you are so out of your element it defies explanation.  DOC: Ad hominem attack. Nice. Almost threw in nihilism but not quite. MOIRA: Oh, now look who's DOC: *interrupting* condescension, albeit juvenile.  MOIRA: That's not really- DOC: *clearly not listening* But where are the emotional overtones? Where's rage? No, too intellectual for that…Bombast. That's the word. MOIRA: Are you daft? DOC: No no no, we already covered that. Ah, I wish I had one of my professors here, we'd keep going longer, but you're not helping MOIRA: This is outrageous. Stop it! DOC: *snaps finger* premeditated victimization! That's it! That's the new term you've created for yourself. You live your life solely for the purpose of your own martyrdom, like a bastardized phoenix! MOIRA: How dare you compare me to that… thing… I am not some wanton destroyer bent on chaos. I was bringing life and order and peace to an entire planet, I was ending millennia of conflict. I am a scalpel, and you think me a Neanderthalic club. This further proves how inadequate your conception of my plans and the world is. Even for someone who's lived a multitude of lives, I have wasted so much time speaking with you. DOC: Your choice, right? And to clarify my stance in your metaphor, I DO think you know how to hold a scalpel. I'm not accustomed to someone so willingly holding the belly of the blade in their palm and complain that the world doesn't appreciate the bloodshed. MOIRA: As any woman will tell you, birth requires bloodshed. I'm not shying away from it. It's simply an objective assessment of the situation. DOC: Oh, I agree it's objectification alright. I know that's not what you said, but I had to give my objective assessment of your objective assessment, you see. MOIRA: Hmm. I am no longer entertained by this game. We're done here. DOC: Sorry you consider this a game. After all, I thought you make the rules. MOIRA: I do. And one of the keys to prestidigitation is sleight of hand. *not to Doc* Orchis, that should have been enough time. You can take me out now. *pause* What do you mean you couldn't hack the system? DOC: Who are you- MOIRA: I don't care if Mystique couldn't get in, she didn't have your… our resources. Ugh. This entire mission is a failure. I will have your hide when I return. DOC: What- MOIRA: I will see you again, Doctor. In this lifetime. *teleportation sound* Ending (56:50) Recommended reading: Krakoan Age of X-Men, starting with HoX/PoX Next episodes: Gladiator, Raven, Aquaman Plugs for social Transcript References: Anthony Extra Life fundraiser Romesh Ranganathan comedy clip - Doc (33:30) Apple Podcasts: here Google Play: here Stitcher: here TuneIn: here iHeartRadio: here Twitter Facebook TikTok  Patreon TeePublic Discord

This was the first time that Jonathan Pagaeu, John Vervaeke, and Jordan Peterson all sat down together in person. Recorded in Dr. Peterson's home, and prominently featuring many of Kwakwakaʼwakw carver Charles Joseph's incredible statues and carvings, this recording may require a few complete watchthroughs. The conversation was created to intentionally dive deep into the areas of systems of perception and their impacts on our abilities to prioritize, the nature of YHWH (Judeo-Christian God), and the exploration of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. This conversation is only the beginning of many more conversations to have between these three and on these topics. Please comment any insights that you have derived from this video, my team will be paying close attention to the progress on these ideas.Jonathan Pageau is a symbolic thinker, YouTuber, and class carver of orthodox icons. Jordan and Jonathan have an ongoing dialogue surrounding Judeo-Christian narrative, reality, and symbolism among many other topics.John Vervaeke is an Assistant Professor in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto. His work constructs a bridge between science and spirituality in order to understand the experience of meaningfulness and the cultivation of wisdom so as to afford awakening from the meaning crisis.If you want to hear the rest of my conversation, please go to https://www.dailywire.com/watch and become a member today.

Sur les côtés, des milliers de personnes rendent un dernier hommage au lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, 52 ans, vétéran de la police de Fox Lake, brutalement abattu au cours d'une banale intervention. Le drame date d'il y a une semaine, une semaine que les autorités traquent désespérément les coupables, trois individus dont on ne connaît ni les noms, ni l'apparence, et qui leur échappent avec une facilité déconcertante. Survenant 4 jours après le meurtre d'un autre officier au Texas, l'affaire a gagné une ampleur nationale. En 2015, il s'agit du 24ème policier tué aux États-Unis dans l'exercice de ses fonctions.

Charles once wrote, I should like to inflame the whole world with my taste for gardening.  There is no virtue that I would not attribute to the man who lives to project and execute gardens.   1812 Birth of Edward Lear, English artist, musician, and writer.  Edward is remembered for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose. He once wrote, As for myself, I am sitting up today for the first time - partly dressed - [something] the cucumber said when oil and vinegar were poured over him, salt & pepper being omitted.   Edward also popularized the limerick.   Here's an Edward Lear limerick for gardeners. There was an old person so silly, He poked his head into a lily; But six bees who lived there, filled him full of despair, For they stung that old person so silly.   1820 Birth of Florence Nightingale (books about this person), English social reformer, statistician, and founder of modern nursing. Florence earned the moniker "The Lady with the Lamp" during the Crimean War because she would make her rounds to visit wounded soldiers with a lamp during the night. The American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used the term in his poem Santa Filomena, which he wrote in honor of Florence's work in Scutari Hospital. Florence was named after Florence, Italy - the city where she was born. As a young girl, she and her sister had their garden to plant and tend. When Florence was 13, she collected flowers with a 77-year-old botanist named Margaret Stovin. Together they gathered and pressed over 100 different species of plants. This charming story was featured in a 2008 book by Richard Mendelsohn. Today, Florence and Margaret's flowers are housed at the Natural History Museum in London. As an adult, Florence wrote, Poetry and imagination begin life. A child will fall on its knees on the gravel walk at the sight of a pink hawthorn in full flower, when it is by itself, to praise God for it. As a nurse, Florence believed flowers helped with the morale and recovery of her patients. And personally, the foxglove was her favorite flower. And Florence received a lovely bouquet every week from William Rathbone, the man who founded the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute for Nurses. In 2020, one of the anticipated gardens was dedicated to Florence during the pandemic. The year 2020 marked the 200th Anniversary of her birth, and the garden was to be called The Florence Nightingale Garden - A Celebration of Modern Day Nursing. Instead, the garden debuted at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2021. The garden featured “Images from Florence Nightingale's pressed flower collection and echoes of her handwriting … on… the timber walls.” Today Florence is remembered in the Florence Nightingale Museum in London, which celebrates the life and work of the best-known figure in nursing history. She is also honored with the Florence Nightingale rose — a pretty pale pink fragrant rose.   1856 Birth of Andreas Franz Wilhelm Schimper, German botanist and phytogeographer Andreas was a significant player in the early days of plant ecology. In 1901, his work was cut short due to his untimely death at 45 after contracting Malaria in  Cameroon.  Andreas coined the terms tropical rainforest and sclerophyll and is honored in many species names.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation  P. Allen Smith's Garden Home by P. Allen Smith This book came out in 2003, and the subtitle is Creating a Garden for Everyday Living. Well, to me, this book is a garden classic. You get to know a little bit about P. Allen Smith's biography. His family's love of gardens, his experience working in the nursery business - plus all of the great relationships that he made working in some of England's top gardens. (He could write a book on that alone.) Fascinating stories. But in all seriousness, this book is so foundational to gardening. It's a great book to give new gardeners. And it's also an excellent book for gardeners who are considering a redesign or, after a long winter, feel like they need to brush up on their skills. The bulk of this book is dedicated to Allen's twelve garden design principles. He'll talk about aspects like framing a view, having texture in the garden, rhythm, pattern, color, etc. Now I thought I'd share this little excerpt from Allen's introduction. And here he's talking about how he created the garden rooms on his own property. He writes, I began working out the various outdoor rooms to see how they related to the house itself. The shape to one another and to the of the house and the lot created a series of rectangular spaces.  I recognized an opportunity to design strong unbroken lines of sight or axes from one garden room into the next. Like an open door, these visual sight lines would allow visitors to stand in one room and see directly into the next. After positioning these openings through portals or entries further divided the rectangles into nine garden rooms and began to imagine how each space could have its own personality yet remain a part of a cohesive whole.    And then I love what he says next. Because he's talking about paths, and I always feel like paths are so underrated; they're almost an afterthought for so many gardeners. So Allen says, As I laid out this plan on paper, I added an entire circuit or path that looped around the house, connecting one garden room to the next. From here, I imagined hedges and fences that would serve as "walls" for each room, with arbors and gates as "doorways."   And then, he goes on to talk about more ways that he created these garden rooms. And so, in this book, Allen not only goes through his 12 principles of design, but he also takes you on tour. Through each of his garden rooms because they help illustrate each of those principles. It's a fabulous book. It's a garden basic - and it's so affordable now that it's been on the market so long. This book is 224 pages of P. Allen Smith's expertise, his twelve principles of garden design, and his fantastic personal garden. You can get a copy of P. Allen Smith's Garden Home by P. Allen Smith and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $3.     Botanic Spark 1943 On this day, the Belvidere Daily Republican posted an article entitled Gardeners Get Nine-Point Plan On Care Of Hose. If mindful of the rubber shortage, you're wondering how to coddle your garden hose through its important Victory-garden job this year, an expert here has a "nine-point program" for hose care that may mean the difference between a backyard farmer's success or failure. W. S. Richardson, manager of the industrial products division of B. F. Goodrich, outlines his nine points as follows:  1. Never drive a car over your hose.  2. Don't leave it lying in the sun  3. Coil it neatly and hang it up.  4. But not on a spike or sharp-edged stick.  5. Be sure it's drained first, for water left in the hose will damage the fabric reinforcement. 6. Don't turn off the water at the nozzle.  7. Don't try to stop the flow by doubling the hose back on itself for either way may give you a 'blow-out.' 8. Don't drag a hose over sharp stones in a rock garden. 9. Don't pick an oily spot on the driveway or floor of your garage as the place to coil it. He concludes, "[Oil] destroys most rubber, and you might end up with a leaky hose and a once-promising Victory garden 'burned up' by drought.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1802 Birth of Dorothea Lynde Dix, Boston activist, writer, and schoolteacher.  As a young woman, she visited England and met the philanthropist and mental-health reformer Samuel Tuke, the director of the York Retreat. There, the patients tended the flower and vegetable gardens surrounding the buildings. Samual called his methods "moral treatment," His work inspired Dorothea to pursue new ways of treating mental illness back home in America. Dorothea championed the causes of the marginalized, incredibly the mentally ill. She successfully lobbied for the creation of mental asylums. Despite today's negative connotations, the word asylum was initially intended to be a place of safety and refuge. Dorothea's asylums were a complete departure from the punitive madhouses that had come before. Today, the Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh stands on the site of North Carolina's first mental health facility, Dorothea Dix Hospital, which existed for 160 years. Before that, the land was part of the Spring Hill Plantation, which was worked by hundreds of enslaved people for 150 years. Dorothea Dix Park is known for daffodils in spring and a field of sunflowers at the end of July. Dorothea Dix often included flower petals in letters to her friends. In 1829, she wrote a book of Floriography ("FLOOR-EE-ah-grah-FEE") or the language of flowers called The Garland of Flora. Dorothea wrote, The rose is the flower and handmaiden of love – the lily, her fair associate, is the emblem of beauty and purity.    1928 Birth of Maya Angelou (books by this author), American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist. Maya once wrote, On late evenings when quiet inhabits my garden when grass sleeps and streets are only paths for silent mist I seem to remember Smiling.   1929 Birth of James A. Duke (books about this person), American botanist and writer. He's remembered for his Handbook of Medicinal Herbs and the best-selling book The Green Pharmacy (1997). He developed Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases at the USDA.  James once quipped regarding dandelions: If you can't beat them, eat them.   1944 On this day, English and American bombs hit the Botanical Garden in Bucharest. The garden's herbarium lost 500,000 sheets of specimens - roughly two-thirds of their collection. The origins of the garden date back to 1874. The garden found a champion in a 28-year-old Romanian botanist and naturalist named Dimitrie Brandza. Today the garden is named in his honor. Dimitri came to Bucharest to be a professor at the Department of Natural Science at the University of Bucharest. He created the botany department at the Natural Science Museum, only to see his entire plant collection destroyed by a fire two years later in 1884. But the fire ignited a new passion for Dimitri, which was the creation of the botanical garden, which opened in 1891. The garden's 42 acres are home to a museum, a greenhouse, formal gardens, wild spaces, lakes, ponds, and research buildings. The garden is a living part of the biology department at the University of Bucharest.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Graphic Garden by Keith Williams This very, very green-covered book came out in May of 2020, and it's the first monograph from landscape architect Keith Williams. This book features all of Keith's projects to date. Now Keith is one of the country's leading landscape architects. Keith is a partner, along with Mario Nievera, in their design firm called Nievera Williams Design, a genuinely groundbreaking landscape architecture firm Is based in South Florida. Together, Mario and Keith have been designing fantastic outdoor spaces for over two decades. One of the wonderful things about this particular book is that Keith shares with us the transformations and pictures of his gardens, showcasing his work process from the beginning of the project all the way through to the end. In this way, you can see how he looks at spaces and incorporates different elements into these monumental design projects. And there's a reason he calls it the Graphic Garden, and that's because it's so visual. Keith is very generously sharing everything— all the pictures, all of the drawings, and the details regarding his approach to designing gardens. So if you are a garden designer, this book is a must because you will learn from a true expert in garden design. Now I have to say that when I first got this book, I was so blown away. It was way more than I anticipated. The level of detail is fantastic. You will learn about layering in gardens and how each layer contributes to the garden's overall design. And the other thing that I want to mention quickly is that I shared a great video of Keith and his partner, Mario, in a video with Steele Marcoux of Veranda, and they're talking about garden design, their unique perspectives, and their approach to it, which is just so fascinating. I learned a ton of little tips and views on garden design just from watching that particular video. So that's in the Facebook group for the show. But this book is a little gem — and since it's new and there weren't that many of them published — it is an investment, but it is so worth it. This book is 216 pages of the best of Keith Williams and his work in gardens. You can get a copy of The Graphic Garden by Keith Williams and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $70.   Botanic Spark 1938 On this day, the Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol, wrote in his diary: For a few minutes this morning I fumbled around my Wild Flower garden...  Little points which will soon be Bloodroots.  Cautious little down covered stems and buds that will later become Hepaticas.  Narrow leaves the forerunners of spring beauty.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Rik Van Cauwelaert (1950) is politiek journalist. Hij begon ooit als fotograaf en sportjournalist, maar werd uiteindelijk politiek journalist met een sterke historisch achtergrond. Hij werkte lang voor Knack, was daar directeur en hoofdredacteur. Op dit moment schrijft hij een wekelijkse politieke column in De Tijd. We hadden afgesproken in zijn huis in Roosdaal in Vlaams-Brabant. We gingen zitten in de living, vòòr mij een indrukwekkende muur vol boeken en een buste van Karel Van de Woestijne half verstopt achter stapels boeken, achter mij een even indrukwekkende muur vol boeken. Naast ons tafeltjes met boeken stapels hoog én nog een oude gesloten kast die hij tijdens ons gesprek zou opendoen en waaruit een héél bijzonder boekje tevoorschijn zou komen. Rik Van Cauwelaert is een boekenverzamelaar. Hij vertelt over zijn boekencollectie, zijn schatten, over de bibliotheek van zijn vader én het moment dat jonge Rik in het katholieke gezin met een pikante Nederlandse schrijver afkwam. Het gaat over zijn recentste boek over Fons Verplaetse, de gouverneur van de Nationale Bank, over zijn favoriete boekhandel in Brussel, en over het moment waarop hij zijn bekendste journalistieke onthulling deed: de uitspraak van Frank Vandenbroucke dat het Agusta-geld maar moest verbrand worden. Alle boeken en auteurs uit deze aflevering vind je in de shownotes op wimoosterlinck.be De drie boeken van Rik Van Cauwelaert zijn: 1. Charles-Joseph de Ligne: De charmeur van Europa. Memoires 2. Joseph Conrad: Hart der duisternis 3. W.G. Sebald: Austerlitz

Today, George is remembered for his happy song lyrics, which were often set to music written by Stephen Foster. And George wrote a little poem dear to gardeners called, My Garden. When fields are green, and skies are fair, And summer fragrance fills the air, I love to watch the budding rose That in my pleasant garden grows; But when old Winter, fierce and free, Has hushed the murmur of the bee, And all the fields and hills are hid Beneath his snowy coverlid, Oh! then my only garden-spot Is just this little flower pot.   May 14, 1938 On this day, the Canadian conservationist and naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol wrote in his journal, “I have some most beautiful Pansies from the seeds of last year. Pansies are a surprise packet. You never know what to expect, and you are never disappointed if you [don't?] expect much."  We found on Thursday night a section of Pine root with a Dogwood growing from its wood and rotted mold. Transplanted it to the Wild Flower garden. It will be exactly what I will require for certain Wild Flowers. Planted a Bleeding Heart. Have wanted to do so for several years. It's an old-fashioned flower. Mother always used to have one in her garden when I was a small boy.” Bleeding heart is in the poppy family. Additional common names for  Bleeding heart include “lyre flower” and “lady-in-a-bath.” Native to Siberia, northern Asia, and North America, there are several cultivars for gardeners to consider, including ‘Alba,’ which has white flowers, ‘Gold Heart,’ which has yellow leaves; and  ‘Valentine,’ which has red-and-white blossoms. Auntie Dogma’s Garden Spot blog says, “No other plant bears perfect heart-shaped flowers like those of the Bleeding Heart. If you press the flowers between the pages of a heavy book, you’ll have papery-thin little hearts to adorn letters or valentines. If you turn a flower upside down and pull the two halves apart, you’ll see a lady in a pink bathtub, or perhaps you’ll see a white lyre with strings of silk.” And then, she shares the interactive story of the bleeding heart that uses a blossom to tell the story. “(To begin narration of the story, hold a heart blossom in the palm of your hand.) Long ago, there lived a noble prince who tried in vain to win the heart of a very beautiful princess. The prince had brought the princess wonderful gifts from his travels far and wide. Yet, she had taken no notice of him. One day the prince returned from a long journey with very special gifts to surely win the love of the princess. First, he presented her with two magical pink bunnies.  (Peel off the two outer petals and set them on their sides to display two little pink bunnies.) The princess only sighed and barely looked at the little bunnies. The hopeful prince had one more gift saved for last – he presented a pair of beautiful enchanted earrings. (Remove the two long white petals and hold them next to your ears.) Again, the princess hardly noticed the prince’s gift. Now the poor prince was utterly heartbroken. He could try no more to win the heart of the princess. He rose up, pulled a dagger from his sheath, and stabbed himself in the heart.  (Remaining in the flower is a heart shape with the stamen, appearing as a dark green line down the center. Hold the heart up, carefully remove the dagger-like line, and plunge the dagger through the heart.) The princess was overcome by the dedication of the dying prince and his unending love for her. She realized too late that she loved him also. “Alas,” she cried out. “I have done wrong. My own heart is also broken. I shall bleed for my prince forevermore!” And her heart bleeds to this very day.”   May 14, 1946 On this day, Paul Hindemith's composition When Lilacs Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd: A Requiem «For Those We Love»  premiered. The music was inspired by a poem of the same title by Walt Whitman, When Lilacs Last in the Door-Yard Bloom'd. Walt Whitman wrote his poem in the summer of 1865. The country was still mourning the assassination of President Lincoln. In 206 lines, Walt does not mention Lincoln’s name or the assassination. Instead, he uses nature and nature imagery to move the reader from grief to acceptance. Lincoln was killed in the springtime - on April 14, 1865. Walt was at his mother’s home when he heard the news. Later he recalled, “I remember… there were many lilacs in full bloom… I find myself always reminded of the great tragedy of that day by the sight and odor of these blossoms. It never fails.” When Walt Whitman was 54 years old, he suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed. He spent the next two years immersed in nature, and he believed that nature had helped heal him. He wrote, "How it all nourishes, lulls me, in the way most needed; the open air, the rye-fields, the apple orchards.”   Unearthed Words But spring twilight found her barefoot in the garden, planting beans and helping me fill my pail with earthworms that were severed by her shovel. I thought I could nurse them back to health in the worm hospital I constructed beneath the irises. She encouraged me in this, always saying, “There is no hurt that can’t be healed by love.” ― Robin Wall Kimmerer, mother, plant ecologist, writer, and SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants   Grow That Garden Library Nature into Art by Thomas Christopher This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is The Gardens of Wave Hill.

A son of Philadelphia, James was a passionate gardener, and he consistently referred to tomatoes the way the French did - as “Love Apples.” In 1812, James published the first known tomato-based ketchup recipe. Although Ketchup had existed in China for centuries, James added the tomato base - something that caught on not only in the United States but also in England. For his unique recipe, James used tomato pulp, spices, and brandy. Unlike many other recipes, James did not use sugar or vinegar. He named his recipe “Love-Apple Catsup."   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

An esteemed son of Toronto, Charles worked to preserve natural areas in Canada. He was primarily devoted to the forests and waterways of Ontario, including his beloved Don River Valley - where his family had a cottage. Even as a teenager, Charles loved the Don, writing in an unpublished manuscript: “The perfume I liked was the smell of a wood fire.... The dance floor I knew best was a long carpet of Pine needles.” In 1927 Charles purchased the 40-hectare property at the Forks of the Don, which would become his second home. The Sauriol family cottage became the place that Charles and his wife and their four children would stay over the long months of the summer. Life at the cottage was elemental and straightforward. Charles tapped the maple trees for syrup and kept beehives near his cottage. The family also had ducks, a goat, and a pet raccoon named Davy, who followed Charles around like a dog. Charles wrote: “In the '20s and 30s, entire slopes of the East Don Valley...were carpeted with flowering trilliums in the spring. It was an unforgettable sight… A woodland without wildflowers is as empty and desolate in some respects as a community without children."  During 2018 the Toronto Archives shared many of Charles’s charming diary entries on their Twitter feed. The Toronto Archives is the repository for the Charles Sauriol record and it consists of diaries, manuscripts, subject files, and over 3,000 photos. Charles kept a lifelong diary. At the Don cottage, Charles created a little woodland garden. Many of his diary entries share his gardening adventures and philosophies on plants, like this one from 1938: "I find it hard to come in from the flower borders. My Pansies are a garden of enchantment in themselves. People who love Pansies should grow them from seed. I took the advice, and I have never had such a profusion of bloom and of so many colors." and "One particular toad has taken quite a fancy to the Wild Flower garden. His den is alongside the Hepatica plant. There he sits, half-buried, and blinks up at me while I shower water on him." At the end of his first summer at the cottage in Don Valley, Charles wrote about leaving the place he loved so much: With summer’s heat, the weeks sped by, And springtime streams did all but dry. But days grew short and followed on, Oh, blissful memory of the Don. Of you, we think with saddened heart, Our time is up, and we must part. Today the annual Charles Sauriol Leadership Award recognizes people who make lasting contributions to conservation.   May 3, 1912 Today is the birthday of the prolific writer and poet May Sarton. She came out in 1965 after her parents died. The decision impacted her career. May’s writing centers on our humanity, our relationships with ourselves and others, our values, and mindfulness. In a 1983 profile in The New York Times, May said, “I make people think, 'I have flowers in my house, why don't I look at them?' The thing that is peaceful for me is that I feel I have helped people. I'm constantly told, 'You've said the things I've wanted to say.'” Margaret Roach writes about discovering May Sarton this way: “She actually came to my attention thanks to two men, at different times in my life. I might have missed her altogether if not for a one-two punch by Sydney Schanberg, an ex-New York Times colleague who, thirty-odd years ago, offhandedly said, “You would like May Sarton,” and then years later my therapist gave me “Journal of a Solitude”... They knew that the natural world, and specifically the garden, called to me, as it did Sarton.” May wrote : “A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.” May’s tiny home in Nelson, New Hampshire, was her happy place. She had a garden which she loved, and she cared for many houseplants. She once wrote these relatable garden witticisms: “I am not a greedy person except about flowers and plants, and then I become fanatically greedy.” “True gardeners cannot bear a glove Between the sure touch and the tender root.” And some of her thoughts on gardening are prayerlike: “Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers.” “Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.”   Unearthed Words The seasonal urge is strong in poets.  Milton wrote chiefly in winter.  Keats looked for spring to wake him up (as it did in the miraculous months of April and May 1819).  Burns chose autumn.  Longfellow liked the month of September.  Shelley flourished in the hot months.  Some poets, like Wordsworth, have gone outdoors to work.  Others, like Auden, keep to the curtained room.  Schiller needed the smell of rotten apples about him to make a poem. Tennyson and Walter de la Mare had to smoke.  Auden drinks lots of tea, Spender coffee; Hart Crane drank alcohol. Pope, Byron, and William Morris were creative late at night.  And so it goes. ― Helen Bevington, American poet, prose author, and educator, When Found, Make a Verse of   Grow That Garden Library Half Baked Harvest Super Simple by Tieghan Gerard This book came out in October of 2019, and the subtitle is More Than 125 Recipes for Instant, Overnight, Meal-Prepped, and Easy Comfort Foods: A Cookbook.

Two years ago, the Regina community garden received a $90,000 grant from Federated Co-op.  Grow Regina wanted to add a gazebo to the community garden for many years. The garden is a unique space in that it offered the community a place to grow and a place to admire art. The garden features a variety of art pieces, including two massive sculptures installed in August of 2010 that frame the entrance to the garden by local artist Victor Cicansky. Gardens have been a consistent theme in Victor’s life. His 2019 memoir, Up From Garlic Flats, is set in the east end of the community in Regina, Saskatchewan. Victor’s father came from Romania, and his Romanian ancestors were gardeners. To Victor, the garden is a place of endless inspiration. Much of Victor’s work features garden tools like shovels and spades, along with aspects of nature like roots and trees. Victor even incorporates garden imagery from fruit, vegetables, and canning jars in his creations. An article featured in the Regina Post from June 2019 said one of Victor’s pieces called “Compost Shovel”  featured, “A gigantic blue ceramic shovel covered in vegetables, eggshells, and soil.” Today, the installation of the gazebo today marks the beginning of a new chapter for the garden. Once the install is completed later this week, the gazebo will host numerous functions. And to give you an idea of how beautiful Victor's artistic gazebo is: Imagine a gazebo that has sculpted trees with branches for support beams and a canopy of leaves for a roof. And then the railing of the gazebo features the garden harvest - all kinds of vegetables.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

When Stella was 23, she landed a job at Kew Gardens, where she worked as a botanical illustrator, taxonomist, and contributor to Curtis's Botanical Magazine. When Stella’s work caught the attention of the director of Kew, Sir Edward Sailsbury, he made sure to introduce her to a publisher, and the rest, as they say, is history. Today we remember Stella as one of the best British scientific botanical artists of the 20th century. In total, Stella illustrated over 1,300 species in her monumental and highly detailed series called, Drawings of British Plants series - something she worked on for over twenty-five years. The series was available in 31 individual paperback books or eight hardcover volumes. Stella’s paperbacks were revolutionary; She was one of the first botanical writers to publish an illustrated book of British plants that were both inexpensive and accessible to readers. On Twitter, the ecologist and author Alex Morss wrote, “The best wild flower guides offer keys, but artists bring the music. Here is one of the masters, scientific illustrator Stella Ross-Craig. She breathed life into Kew's dried specimens with stunning accuracy.” To look at photos of Stella Ross-Craig from the 1990s forward is to see a happy woman with kind eyes and perfectly coiffed snow-white hair reminiscent of a loving grandmother or even Mrs. Claus. In pictures, Stella is always smiling. In the twilight of her life, Stella received many well-deserved honors. When she was 93, she became the sixth person ever to receive the Kew International Medal. Following this honor, Stella’s work was exhibited at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and then at the Kew Gardens Gallery. And in 2002, at the age of 86, Stella was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Gold Veitch Memorial Medal. One of the many plants that are better-understood thanks to Stella Ross-Craig is the Fritillaria. A member of the lily family, the fritillary is a spring-blooming flower, and each plant generally produces a single blossom from April to May. With pendulous lily-shaped flowers, the blossoms have a distinct checkered pattern that is stunning, and the blooms are either purple, pink, or white. Most gardeners treat Fritillaria imperialis as an annual and plant new specimens every single year. Fritillarias love the sun and can tolerate dappled shade. The etymology of the fritillary is from the Latin “frills,” meaning “dice box” - a reference to the checkered pattern on the petals in a number of species. And here’s a fun fact, the checkered pattern of the fritillaria inspired the checkerboard pattern on Croatia’s coat of arms. The fritillaria is native to Croatia, where it is regarded as the national flower and is known as “Kockavica” (“COX-ah-veet-sah”) or the Checkered Lily.   March 19, 1938 It was on this day that the Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol (“Sar-ee-all”) jotted down a sweet diary entry, and it was shared bythe Toronto Archiveson their fabulous twitter feed - which is a wonderful thing to follow. Charles wrote: "We have a visitor. A long winding trail of tunneled earth flanked tool room, etc...& ended in a hummock of earth inside.... Mr. Mole, you can tunnel if you wish, but my flower seeds will be planted elsewhere than where you happen to be."  An esteemed son of Toronto, Charles, who was born in 1904, was a one-man conservation powerhouse - saving many natural areas in Ontario and across Canada. Charles owned property in the Don River Valley and was an advocate for the Valley's preservation. Even as a teenager, he loved the Don, writing in an unpublished manuscript: “The perfume I liked was the smell of a wood fire. Planting seed or trees was preferable to throwing one’s seed around recklessly... The dance floor I knew best was a long carpet of Pine needles.” In 1927 Charles purchased a 40-hectare property at the Forks of the Don. He used this as a cottage, and every year, he and his wife and four kids stayed there over the long months of the summer. Life at the cottage was simple and elemental; there were ducks, a goat, and a pet raccoon named Davy, who followed Charles around like a dog. At the end of his first summer at the cottage in Don Valley, Charles wrote about leaving the place he loved: With summer’s heat the weeks sped by, And springtime streams did all but dry. But days grew short and followed on, Oh, blissful memory of the Don. Of you we think with saddened heart, Our time is up and we must part.   Unearthed Words Gardens are for living in, not just for looking at, from the other side of a window. I want the environments I create to be visually alluring. But also, and more importantly, to be so incredibly comfortable and functional that they draw my clients out of doors and keep them there, relaxing, reading, eating, entertaining, whether alone or with family and friends. A professor once told me to think about plants as people - as my friends - and to select the living materials for a garden as if I were having a party and throwing a group together. Some like to drink. Some are teetotallers. Some like to bask in the sun. Some need to be in the shade. Some play well with others. Some prefer to be by themselves. Some bloom. Others do not. Still, others go dormant. I love dissecting the properties of plants in that fundamental, personalized way. And I love selecting, placing, and caring for them so that they feel at home and perform at their best to compliment a house and enhance a client's life. — Scott Schrader, The Art of Outdoor Living   Grow That Garden Library Garden Secrets of Bunny Mellon by Linda Holden This book came out in 2020, and I'm a huge Bunny Mellon fan - so I was very excited to order my copy. Now what's special about this book is that it shares Bunny's personal advice, her philosophy about design, many of her wonderful sayings, and her approach to the garden. Now another thing that readers of this book will like is the way that it's organized — because chapters are organized by elements of the garden. So you might have a chapter on climate, space, shape, atmosphere, or even light — and so on and so forth. Now the effect of this is that you feel like Bunny is right there with you, helping you to see both these elements more clearly and appreciate the important role that they play in your garden design. Now, before I continue, I just wanted to take a quick second and share with you a little bit about Bunny's personal story. When Bunny was alive, her favorite thing to do was to design a garden. Her husband, Paul Mellon, was one of America's wealthiest men. Together, Bunny and Paul, maintained five homes in New York, Cape Cod Nantucket and Tigua and Upperville Virginia. In addition to designing the gardens for all of her own homes. Bunny designed gardens for some of her closest friends and celebrities. Now the author of this book, Linda Holden, is really the perfect person to help preserve Bunny's legacy and all the tips and insights that she pulled together during her lifetime. Linda wrote another book about Bunny Mellon that I recommended back in January of last year. That book is called The Gardens of Bunny Mellon, and it features most of the gardens that Bunny created. Now to my way of thinking, this book was the natural followup to that first book because now Linda is sharing all of Bunny’s Garden secrets with us — her secrets to garden design — and it's like having a master class in design with Bunny Mellon. And so,  I personally want to thank Linda Holden for that, because as I already mentioned, I'm a huge Bunny Mellon fan. Linda's book is 176 pages of garden secrets from the late great Bunny Mellon. You can get garden secrets of Bunny Mellon by Linda Holden and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $16.    Today’s Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart It was on this day, back in 2019, that another wonderful book was published: The Plant Messiah by Carlos Magdalena. This is one of my favorite books because it gives us a glimpse into what it's like to be a botanist in search of the world's rarest species. And it's almost like getting a chance to shadow Carlos in his fascinating job with plants. And I thought you would enjoy hearing this little excerpt where Carlos shares what it was like to take one of his first exams. At Q. This is a passage that has stuck with me ever since the day I read it. And I'm sure it will leave an impression on you as well. So once again, here's a little excerpt from the plant Messiah. Bye Carlos Magdalena. First, I was given a plant identification test. I was shown into a small greenhouse with thirty numbered plant samples. I had to identify them all, giving their genus species, family (if known), and common name. Some were common garden plants, others less familiar. As I studied each plant carefully, I realized that the common ones were the trickiest because you never use the family or Latin name. I trusted my gut instinct and tried to stay calm — not easy when the result meant so much. We moved on to a random plant on a bench, sitting next to a selection of cutting tools, lots of different sizes, and several options to encourage rooting, including a missed bench and a tray of compost. “Can you propagate this plant?” one member of the selection panel asked. “Sure!” I said, grabbing a knife. Immediately the questioning started up again. “Why the knife and not the scalpel or the secateurs?” They wanted to know my thought processes, not just my knowledge of the plants. I kept things simple. My feeling was that underplaying an answer was better than brashly responding as if I knew everything already. I am not sure. But I think it's because secateurs damaged the stem when you close the blades to make the cut,” I said. “You want to clean, cut that slices through the tissue, like a surgeon's blade. Scalpels are fine for soft growth, so a knife is the right tool to use here.” Finally, I faced the interview panel made up of senior members of staff. Including heads of departments and senior horticulturists, they sat behind a long bench and fired off questions. “Look out the window. Can you see that tree? What is it?” “It looks like a Pinus Wallinchiana.” “Can you name the five species of pine?” “Pinus nigra, Pinus pinea, Pinus this, Pinus that... “ My mentor throughout was Ian Leese, head of the school of horticulture. Late one night, as he opened the door to the computer room to switch off the lights, he saw me. “Oh, you still hear Carlos? “Buenas noches,” he said before heading off to collect his bike. I stayed until 2:00 AM. Then, at 6:00 AM, the ring of my mobile phone dragged me from my bed. On the other end was a distressed fellow student. Who broke the news that Ian had died overnight. I was stunned. Any time I felt overwhelmed. Ian would say, “It is simple. Just keep going. And you will achieve your goal.” I often hear his voice in my head. Even now.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

He visually couples his earthy soothing sound with heavy plant imagery, from short snippets of him tenderly caring for plants to abstract videos of 3-D modeled flora. Redito’s aesthetic is the seamless marriage between the ambient digital world and a tangible natural ecosystem. You can find short teaser videos of thumping tracks playing over footage of sped-up plant growth and gardens, photographs of technology blended with nature, and updates of his own garden developments on his Instagram account @markredito. "My hope is that when people listen to my work, they would be inspired to go outside and experience nature or start their own garden. My upcoming album to be released this summer, “Natural Habitat,” is all about that — the interconnectedness and innate connection we have with nature and with plants. (What’s your best tip for gardeners and new plant parents?) Ease into it and remember to take it slow. When I started getting into plants, my collection grew from five plants to about 30 in a month. As much as I enjoyed having plants and taking care of them, it was a lot of work for one guy to water and tend to 30-plus plants on one Saturday morning.”   Are you growing, Cleome? My daughter just had her senior pictures taken, and I took some cuttings from the garden for her to hold during her photoshoot. For one of the images, I had her hold just one large white blossom in her hands. It looked like a giant puffball, and it had a very ethereal quality about it. Cleome is beautiful - but it is also sticky - so keep that in mind if you handle it. I know some gardeners have no trouble sowing cleome directly into their gardens, but some gardeners complain that it can be an inconsistent germinater. I like to sow cleome right now since the seeds like intense light to get going. Sometimes cleome can benefit from staking - so keep that in mind as well. And, if you are planning a cutting garden, it is hard to beat cleome. The blooms are a show-stealer in any arrangement.   Go to a local farmers market - not for the produce - for the knowledge.   The growers at the farmer's market have expertise in growing, which is often an untapped resource. Plus, the growers are so generous with Information. It's always a pleasure to talk to someone who has first-hand knowledge about growing plants.   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1621  The Botanic garden at Oxford, also known as the Physic Garden, was founded on this day in 1621 at precisely 2 pm. It was a Sunday. The garden is the oldest in England. When the garden was founded, its primary purpose was to be a medicinal garden. Henry Danvers, the first Earl of Danby, funded the garden by giving Oxford University 250 pounds. Unfortunately, the land they purchased was flood-prone. The 5-acre tract was mostly pasture land and lined the banks of the River Cherwell. So, to protect the garden from flooding, the ground for the garden was built up. Records show a Mr. Windiat brought in 4,000 loads of "mucke and dunge" to elevate the area that we now know as the Oxford Botanic Garden. During the founding ceremony, dignitaries of the University walked in a procession from St. Mary's church to the garden. Mr. Edward Dawson, a physician, and Dr. Clayton, the Regius Professor of Medicine, each gave a speech and a stone was placed in the garden gateway by the Vice-Chancellor himself. The Garden has a fascinating history, and there are at least two father-son connections to the Garden. Bobart the Elder and his son, Bobart the Younger, established the herbarium. Both William Baxter and his son served as curator. Lewis Carroll, who was a math professor at Oxford and he visited the garden with a young Alice Liddell, which inspired Alice in Wonderland. J.R.R. Tolkien, who also taught at Oxford, loved the gardens and could be found sitting beneath his favorite tree: an ornamental black pine. In 1941, after the discovery of the dawn redwood tree, a dawn redwood seed was planted in the garden. The tree still grows at the Oxford Botanic Garden. In 2019, Oxford University's gardens, libraries, and museums attracted over 3 million visitors. The Garden and Arboretum had a record-setting year with over 200,000 visitors, which was an increase of 23%. And, today, the garden is continuing to prepare for its 400th anniversary in 2021. Planting projects and garden redesigns are all being worked on to give visitors a stunning welcome next year. In addition, some of the beds are going through a bit of a time machine; they are being planted according to their 17th-century prescriptions so that visitors can glimpse how the garden looked when it was established four centuries ago.   1804  Today is the birthday of the Scottish botanist William Forsyth. William trained as a gardener at the Oxford Physic Garden and was an apprentice to Philip Miller, the chief gardener. In 1771, Forsyth himself took over the principal gardening position. Three years later, he built one of the very first rock gardens with over 40 tons of stone collected from the land around the Tower of London and even some pieces of lava imported from Iceland. The effort was noted for posterity; the garden was a bust. Forsyth was also the founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society. The genus, Forsythia, was named in his honor by Carl Peter Thunberg. There are several different varieties of Forsythia, which also goes by the common name golden bell. A member of the olive family, Forsythias are related to the Ash tree. And, the Forsythia is a vernal shrub. Vernal shrubs bloom in the spring.   1834  Today is the anniversary of the death of the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Along with his friend, William Wordsworth, he helped found the Romantic Movement in England and was a member of a group called the Lake Poets. As a poet, Coleridge recognized the inherent rhythm of taxonomy, and he likened it to poetry when he said that taxonomy was simply "the best words in the best order." In his poem called Youth and Age, Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote, Flowers are lovely. Love is flower-like. Friendship is a sheltering tree. Coleridge wrote a 54-line poem about a Mongolian emperor's summer garden at Xanadu. The emperor was  Kubla Kahn. Coleridge's Kubla Kahn is one of his most famous works. The poem begins by describing Kahn's palace and the garden contrasted with the setting of an ancient Mongolian forest. And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.   It was Samuel Taylor Coleridge who said: Summer has set in with its usual severity.   1938  On this day, the Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol ("Sar-ee-all") wrote about sharing his garden with a toad. He wrote, "One particular toad has taken quite a fancy to the Wild Flower garden. His den is alongside the Hepatica plant. There he sits half-buried, and blinks up at me while I shower water on him."   1946  On this day Elizabeth Lawrence wrote to her sister: Dear Ann, I am going to send you, as soon as they are ripe, some seeds of Campanula americana, which came to me from one of my delightful farm women correspondents. I asked Mr. Krippendorf if he knew it, and he said yes, it was his favorite weed. Scatter them as soon as you get them along the drive. Along the fence at the foot of the terrace, and on the other side near the tiger lilies. Then in the spring, I will send (or maybe fall) some roots of the day lily Margaret Perry. It will spread all along, and bloom with the campanula and the lilies. ...The campanula is an annual but it will self-sow, and the combination will make a mass of bloom for six weeks or more. Then I am going to send you seeds of Cassia marilandica (“The virtuous and beloved dead need neither cassia buds nor myrrh”) to scatter lower down on the driveway. ... I expect that you will have more lycoris. Mine are still coming, and I dash out very quickly to stake each one before Mr. Cayce can get to it. Mr. Krippendorf wrote that his were coming out fast, but that he did not expect them to last long as he was bringing out his granddaughter’s boxer to spend a week with his, and he thought the two of them would break off thousands. Mr. Krippendorf feels as I do about dogs. But Bessie does not. ... The summer has been so cool and green, and so many of the choice and difficult amaryllids have bloomed. So am I as the rich, whose blessed key Can bring him to his sweet up-locked treasure, The which he will not every hour survey. For blunting the fine point of seldom pleasure. [Shakespeare sonnet 52]   Unearthed Words The fervent heat, but so much more endurable in this pure air — the white and pink pond-blossoms, with great heart-shaped leaves; the glassy waters of the creek, the banks, with dense bushery, and the picturesque beeches and shade and turf; the tremulous, reedy call of some bird from recesses, breaking the warm, indolent, half-voluptuous silence; an occasional wasp, hornet, honey-bee or bumble (they hover near my hands or face, yet annoy me not, nor I them, as they appear to examine, find nothing, and away they go) — the vast space of the sky overhead so clear, and the buzzard up there sailing his slow whirl in majestic spirals and discs; just over the surface of the pond, two large slate-colored dragon-flies, with wings of lace, circling and darting and occasionally balancing themselves quite still, their wings quivering all time, (are they not showing off for my amusement?)— the pond itself, with the sword-shaped calamus; the water snakes— occasionally a flitting blackbird, with red dabs on his shoulders, as he darts slantingly by— the sounds that bring out the solitude, warmth, light and shade— the squawk of some pond duck— (the crickets and grasshoppers are mute in the noon heat, but I hear the song of the first cicadas;)— then at some distance, the rattle and whirr of a reaping machine as the horses draw it on a rapid walk through a rye field on the opposite side of the creek— (what was the yellow or light brown bird, large as a young hen, with a short neck and long-stretched legs I just saw, in flapping and awkward flight over there through the trees?)— the prevailing delicate, yet palpable, spicy, grassy, clovery perfume to my nostrils; and over all, encircling all, to my sight and soul, and free space of the sky, transparent and blue— and hovering there in the west, a mass of white-gray fleecy clouds the sailors call "shoals of mackerel"— the sky, with silver swirls like locks of tossed hair, spreading, expanding— a vast voiceless, formless simulacrum— yet may-be the most real reality and formulator of everything— who knows? — Walt Whitman, American poet and the Father of Free Verse, A July Afternoon by the Pond   Grow That Garden Library Weeds by Richard Mabey This book came out in 2012, and the subtitle is In Defense of Nature's Most Unloved Plants.

The story was from Berlin, it told of an actress who was playing the role of a female Hamlet. She wanted to have bouquets and wreaths thrown to her at the end of her performance. When a man told her that the flowers would cost $20, the actress said that it was too much for one night. But, the gentleman had an idea. He said twenty dollars would be sufficient for two nights. And he explained how it would work. He said, "Today, I and my men will throw the bouquets to you from the first tier. After the performance is over, I shall take the flowers home with me in a basket [and] put them in the water... Tomorrow night [we will toss them at your feet again]. No one in the audience will know that the bouquets have been used before." The actress liked the man's ingenious plan, and she happily paid him the money.

It's that easy.   Curated News How to Harvest and Dry Flowers & Herbs From Your Garden | The Nerdy Farm Wife This is an excellent post by Jan Berry. Here's an excerpt: "Learn how to harvest and easily dry flowers and herbs from the garden. Also included is a list of common flowers and herbs along with ideas for using them! An ideal time to collect fresh flowers and herbs from your garden is on a dry, sunny day, after morning dew has evaporated, but before the midday sun is out in full force. Some flowers, such as dandelion, chamomile, calendula and lavender can be dried whole. The petals from larger flowers, such as roses and hollyhocks, should be separated from the flower head before drying. An exception to this is if you're drying small rosebuds. They can also be dried whole, just be sure to turn a few times a day so one side doesn't dry flatter than the other. I dry flower clusters, like elder flowers and lilacs, upside down on a towel as shown above, to help preserve some of the shape. Small branches of leaves that easily lay flat when placed on a surface, such as elderleaf, can stay together while drying. Leaves that cluster together, like lemon balm and mint, often do best if you detach each leaf before drying."   It's National Rainier Cherry Day. Rainier cherries were bred at Washington State University by crossing Vans and Bings. They are one of the most delicate and challenging cherries to grow because of one big drawback: their thin red-yellow skin. This makes them super sensitive to the elements, and they bruise easily. Even if a grower can address these challenges, they still must contend with the birds. Birds LOVE Rainiers and can eat as much as 1/3 of the cherry crop before the harvest arrives. Watch what happens if you add a few Rainier Cherries to your bird feeder.   Deadhead to Encourage More Blooms What happens if you don't deadhead? You might miss out on valuable time that your plant could use to create that second flush of blooms. Plants to deadhead include coreopsis, blue and white clips, geraniums, and dianthus. Another reason is to encourage more blooms the following year. Dead flower heads become seed pods, and that takes energy from the plant. So be sure to deadhead peonies, roses, iris, and lilies. As a general rule, when any plant looks leggy, it will benefit from deadheading or plain ol' pruning.   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.

He would ultimately become the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Calcutta and Kew. In 1887, David was sent to Calcutta to be the curator of the herbarium. While he was there, he researched Indian Hemp along with crops like Wheat, Mustard, Pulses, and Indigo. But, David's most crucial work involved Cinchona plantations. The bark of Cinchona trees contains quinine, which is used to treat malaria. In David's obituary, it said that he set up a system with the local post offices to send quinine to every Indian village and undoubtedly saved countless lives. After David returned to England, he became the director at Kew. During his tenure, David implemented many notable changes. David oversaw the effort to have the medicinal garden installed at Cambridge Cottage, and he acquired the Japanese gateway for the 1910 Japan-British exhibition. In terms of promotional efforts, David also reinstated the Kew Bulletin. David's most significant professional challenge at Kew came not from a plant, but a person. William Purdom was a sub-foreman at Kew, and he was passionate about making sure that the garden staff was being treated fairly. Tensions started when some of the gardeners discovered that their positions were only temporary. In addition, wages were well below market level. Even though all of these challenges were legacy issues David had inherited, the problems fell squarely on his shoulders. David's humble origins gave him a heart for his workers, and he did his best to mediate the situation. While David stayed professional, Purdom made it personal, and he pressured David relentlessly. Finally, when he felt despite his best efforts that Purdom would never be satisfied, David forced the issue. David basically said to the powers that be, that they had a choice;  it was him or Purdom. In the end, David got the support he needed, and Purdom moved on.  In a noble gesture, David worked to get Purdom a lead spot on the expedition to China sponsored by Harry Veitch and the Arnold Arboretum. Today, history looks back at David Prain with admiration, that he could recognize the talents of an employee, even while disagreeing with him - acting with both fairness and integrity.   1938   On this day Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol ("Sar-ee-all") wrote in his diary: "I find it hard to come in from the flower borders. My Pansies are a garden of enchantment in themselves. People who love Pansies should grow them from seed. I took the advice and I have never had such a profusion of bloom and of so many colors."   1941  On this day, the Amarillo Daily News ran an article featuring Charles Sumner Lambie, who was a Denver area civil engineer by day and a rare orchid breeder by night. Charles grew up in Pittsburgh, tending the family garden. He later married Margaret McCandless, and together they raised nine children. As his engineering firm became successful, Charles's wife said he turned to the hobby of raising orchids as a means of relief from the stresses of his job. Charles shared an upside that he discovered about greenhouse gardening: He no longer suffered from hayfever as he did when he gardened outside. After sharing the various types of orchids grown by Charles Lambie, the article shared his unique and detailed method for documenting his plants. Here's what it said: "Mr. Lambie has a card index file ... on each plant. Here is a sample entry from the card of C. Talisman: L.O. Talisman: 6 inches, December 1938, Christmas; Winter Bloomer, October to early summer, variable. Flowers large, Sepals and petals – Light to dark rose. Lip, dark rich crimson; Throat purple with yellow – gold veins." Mr. Lambie puts a protective canopy over the orchids when they are in bloom, and he sprays them several times a day. When Mr. Lambie leaves town on business, Mrs. Lambie makes sure that the orchids are watered several times today. As the reporter for the story was leaving, Mrs. Lambie showed him a small orchid and shared that Mr. Lambie was given the orchid when he subscribed to an orchid magazine. The orchid is called the Charles Lambie Rittenberry orchid named for their grandson, and of course, it receives "very careful attention," she added with a smile.   1950   On this day, a very unusual dwarf Amaryllis species was collected in Peru by the eminent botanist, Dr. Ramon Ferreyra ("feh-REY-rah"). Dr. Ferreyra sent the bulbs to another botanist, Dr. Hamilton P. Traub, in the United States. Unfortunately, the bulbs experienced frost while they were in the mail. Some of the bulbs were totally destroyed, the surviving bulbs all had been damaged. It took almost 18 months for Dr. Traub to nurse the frosted plants back to health. In recognition of his patience and skill, the Amaryllis was named Hippeastrum traubii.   Unearthed Words   The Linden, in the fervors of July, Hums with a louder concert. When the wind Sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime, As when some master-hand exulting sweeps The keys of some great organ, ye give forth The music of the woodland depths, a hymn Of gladness and of thanks." — William Cullen Bryant, American poet and editor, Linden   Before midsummer density opaques with shade the checker- tables underneath, in daylight unleafing lindens burn green-gold a day or two, no more, with intimations of an essence I saw once, in what had been the pleasure- garden of the popes at Avignon, dishevel into half (or possibly three- quarters of) a million hanging, intricately tactile, blond bell-pulls of bloom, the in-mid-air resort of honeybees' hirsute cotillion teasing by the milligram out of those necklaced nectaries, aromas so intensely subtle, strollers passing under looked up confused, as though they'd just heard voices, or inhaled the ghost of derelict splendor and/or of seraphs shaken into pollen dust no transubstantiating pope or antipope could sift or quite precisely ponder. — Amy Clampitt, American poet and author, Lindenbloom   Grow That Garden Library Kathryn at Home by Kathryn M Ireland This book came out in 2016, and the subtitle is  A Guide to Simple Entertaining. I ordered a copy of this book at the start of the pandemic. What I thought would be a simple book of eye candy, became an inspiration: for using fresh ingredients from the kitchen garden, decorating my outdoor spaces for comfort and beauty, and for coaxing us out of the house by heading outdoors for breakfasts, lunchtime picnics, teas, barbecues, and dinners by candlelight. Kathryn Ireland is among House & Garden's "10 to Watch" architects and designers expected to influence 21st-century style.

Dennesen was once an internationally recognized authority on botany, and he led a wonderful life. Dennesen served as a captain under Christian IX in Denmark's war with Germany. He was wounded in battle and captured by the enemy. He was shipwrecked on the Isle of Crete and sailed around Cape Hope. After the adventurous days of the soldier and sailor, he became a professor at the Copenhagen School of Botany, and among his pupils was a little princess who later became Queen Alexandria, mother of King George of England, and a little prince who later became King Constantine of Greece. The newspaper reported that, "The men's Bible class of St. John's Lutheran Church, in Jacksonville Florida, had planned a surprise birthday party, but the jolly old Dane winked as he hinted it is hard to surprise the man who has been around for 103 years." Dennesen immigrated to America in 1881 and lived to be 111 years old. Now that's an old botanist.

I had to chuckle the other day as I was putting together my fall containers. The first thing I do when I transition from one season to another, is determine which plants are salvageable - the ones that have enough gas to go another season. One of my pots ended up being a bit of a hodgepodge. I call it my "Must Go" Container in honor of my husband's Great Aunt Lena.  Here's the backstory: Great Aunt Lena would babysit my husband and his siblings when they were little. She was helping out my in-laws while they were both at work and she was famous for making a casserole at the end of the week she called "Must Go" hotdish.  Phil's dad used to tell how one particular Must Go hotdish was extra memorable because when he was dishing himself up a plate, he pulled out an intact piece of pizza out of the depths of this hotdish; which no doubt was combined with a can of cream of mushroom soup.   In any case, my "Must Go" container ended up being a bit of an homage to Great Aunt Lena; individually, the plants looked fine. But, put together, the effect was jumbled - a "Must Go" container if ever there was one. I'll have to redo it this weekend.     Brevities #OTD  Today is the birthday of the English gardener, designer, and nurseryman Henry Wise who was born on this day in 1653. One can't mention Henry Wise without talking about George London. The two worked together on gardens throughout England. The partnership began when Wise was a student of London.  When Wise came of age, he became London's partner at the Brompton Park nurseries. Wise was one of the greatest gardeners and plantsmen of his time. Together, he and London became THE designers to work for over two decades until London died in 1714.  Wise is remembered for being the gardener for Queen Anne, although he also managed the royal gardens during the reigns of William III and George I as well. London and Wise designed formal baroque gardens. Think - box hedges, gravel walk ways, beautiful statuary and magnificent fountains. Wise laid out the stunning avenue of Chestnut trees in England's Bushy Park as well as the walled kitchen garden made for the Duke of Marlborough in Blenheim which thrills visitors still today.     #OTD   Today is the birthday of the Arnold Arboretum taxonomist and dendrologist Alfred Rehder who was born on this day in 1863.  A dendrologist studies trees and Rehder was the top dendrologist of his generation. Rehder learned about horticulture from his father who was an amateur gardener.  He worked at a number of botanical gardens around Germany.  At the turn of the 20th century, Rehder was sent to the US to study American grapes - which were resistant to phylloxera - the disease that was caused by aphids and that was threatening to obliterate wine production in Europe. There was no better place for Rehder to conduct his research than Harvard's Arnold Arboretum. It was a fortuitous assignment for Rehder who ended up meeting the director of the Arboretum - Charles Sprague Sargent. Sargent recognized Rehder's intelligence and diligence. He persuaded him to stay on and gave him the tremendous assignment of compiling a bibliography of everything written about woody plants published before 1900.  It resulted in a five-volume, 3,789-page work.  Rehder accomplished much during his time at Harvard. He launched a quarterly botanical publication known as the Journal of the Arnold Arboretum and he came up with a system to identify geographic zones based on the relationship between temperature and the hardiness of specific plants. Rehder's work helped establish what we know as the USDA Hardiness zone maps.       #OTD   Today is the birthday of Canada’s first professional woman plant breeder - a woman called the “dean of hybridists” and the “Grand Lady of Canadian Horticulture" - Isabella Preston, who was born on this day in 1881. Vita Sackville-West once acknowledged, "I must confess I don't know anything about Miss Isabella Prestonof Ottawa. . ." Preston's name had become famous as the result of her lily hybrids. She bred the renowned George C. Creelman hybrid lily in 1919.  Vita would have loved Preston's practical and hard-won advice. When a colleague asked Preston what she should do with her rock garden, Preston's advice was rather fascinating: “Use every bit of rock – Don’t be afraid of it. Plant between, atop or along side. Presently, you will be convinced that flowers need near them the harsh stability of stone.”  Preston was a self-taught plant hybridizer. In 1920 she joined the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. For almost three decades, she endeavored to create more blooms on more disease-resistant plants.  She created over 200 cultivars of six different plants including lilacs, lilies, crab apples, columbine, Siberian iris and roses. Preston Lilacs are named in her honor. Preston received many honors for her work.      Unearthed Words "She had only to stand in the orchard, to put her hand on a little crab tree and look up at the apples, to make you feel the goodness of planting and tending and harvesting at last." - Willa Cather "September fattens on vines.  Roses flake from the wall.  The smoke of harmless fires drifts to my eyes.  This is plenty. This is more than enough."  - Geoffrey Hill, September Song     Today's book recommendation: Gardener's Guide to Compact Plants - Jessica Walliser   With space becoming a premium for urban gardens and for gardeners who want to keep their gardens more manageable, compact plants are the perfect solution. One of my favorite things about this book are the amazon options for edible plants that work in small spaces. Incorporating edibles into little spaces in your garden allows you to maximize your gardens productivity and your return on investment. In addition to edibles, Jessica offers suggestions for compact flowering and fruiting trees, as well as compact shrubs, evergreens, and perennials. Plus, Jessica shares what she calls, "The Magic 7 Maintenance Tasks" - little tips for creating a successful garden one task at a time.    Today's Garden Chore Now is the time to get your order together for spring bulbs. Whether you use them for planting or forcing during the winter, you will get the best selection if you order early.  Once you get them, make sure you don't plant them until the weather turns colder later in the fall.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart On this day in 1938, Charles Joseph Sauriol wrote in his journal. He wrote about a common occurrence in gardens; plants growing together. He wrote: "[I] set out plantations of Thyme, Rosemary, Tarragon, Mint, Caraway, in the Wild Flower garden which now becomes a herb garden as well. This is my answer to keeping the weeds down…. My studies converge so why not the plants?"      Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

  Are you growing Cleome? My daughter just had her senior pictures taken and I took some cuttings from the garden for her to hold during her photo shoot. For one of the pictures, I had her hold just one large white blossom in her hands. It looked like a giant puffball and it had a very etherial quality about it Cleome is beautiful - but it is also sticky - so keep that in mind if you handle it. I know some gardeners have no trouble sowing cleome directly into their gardens, but some gardeners complain that it can be an inconsistent germinater. I like to sow cleome right now since the seeds like strong light to get going. Sometimes cleome can benefit from staking - so keep that in mind as well. And, if you are planning a cutting garden, it is hard to beat cleome. The blooms are a show-stealer in any arrangement.     Brevities #OTD The Botanic garden at Oxford, also known as the Physic Garden, was founded on this day in 1632. The garden is the oldest in England. When the garden was founded,the ground where the garden stands had been raised to protect it from floods. During the founding ceremony, dignitaries of the University walked in a procession from St. Mary's church to the garden. Mr. Edward Dawson, a physician, and Dr. Clayton, the Regius Professor of Medicine, each gave a speech and a stone was placed in the garden gateway by the Vice-Chancellor himself.     #OTD  Today is the birthday of William Forsyth who was born on this day in 1804. Forsyth was a Scottish botanist. He trained as a gardener at the Physic Garden and was an apprentice to Philip Miller, the chief gardener. In 1771, Forsyth himself took over the chief gardening position. Three years later, he built one of the very first rock gardens with over 40 tons of stone collected from the land around the Tower of London and even some pieces of lava imported from Iceland. The effort was noted for posterity, the garden was a bust. Forsyth was also the founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society. The genus, Forsythia, is named in his honor.   #OTD  The English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge died on this day in 1834. Along with his friend, William Wordsworth, he helped found the Romantic Movement in England and was a member of a group called the Lake Poets.  In his poem called Youth and Age, Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote, "Flowers are lovely; Love is flower-like;  Friendship is a sheltering tree;"     #OTD  On this day in 1938, Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol (“Sar-ee-all”) wrote about sharing his garden with a toad. He wrote, "One particular toad has taken quite a fancy to the Wild Flower garden. His den is alongside the Hepatica plant. There he sits half buried, and blinks up at me while I shower water on him."      Unearthed Words Here are a few English proverbs about July:   "If the first of July be rainy weather, It will rain, more of less, for four weeks together."     "The glowing Ruby should adorn Those who in warm July are born, Then will they be exempt and free From love's doubt and anxiety."     Today's book recommendation: The Fragrant Path by Louise Beebe Wilder   This is a wonderful guide to the cultivation of scented flowers. The newly revised edition includes modern varieties as well. The late Louise Beebe Wilder is that rare figure, a garden writer from another era (she was born in 1878). Her books continue to be published because they are so charming and contain a wealth of horticultural knowledge.     Today's Garden Chore Go to a local farmers market - not for the produce - for the knowledge.    The growers at the farmer's market have an expertise about growing that is often an untapped resource. Plus, the growers are so generous with Information.

He researched Indian hemp, followed by other crops like wheat, mustards, pulses and indigo for the Bengal government.  Prain's most important work involved Cinchona plantations.  The bark of cinchona trees contains quinine which is used to treat malaria.  In Prain's obituary, it said that he set up a system to send every village in India quinine through the local post offices thereby saving unnumbered lives. During Prain's directorship at Kew, the medicinal garden was installed at Cambridge Cottage and the Japanese gateway was acquired for the 1910 Japan-British exhibition. Prain also reinstated the Kew Bulletin.  Prain's biggest professional challenge at Kew came not from a plant, but a person. William Purdom was a sub-foreman at Kew and he was passionate about making sure that the garden staff was being treated fairly. The discord stemmed from some of the gardeners at Kew discovering that their positions were only temporary. Having wages well below market levels didn't help either.  Even though all of this was set in place before Prain assumed the directorship, it fell to him to fix everything.  Prain's humble origins gave him a heart for his workers and he did his best to remedy the situation. Despite Prain's reasonable efforts to mediate the situation, Purdom made it personal. Prain finally forced the issue basically saying that it was either him or Purdom.  In a magnanimous gesture, Prain worked to get Purdom a spot on the expedition to China by Harry Veitch and the Arnold Arboretum. Today, history looks back at Prain with admiration, that he could recognize the talents of an employee, even while disagreeing with him - and all the while acting with fairness and integrity.     #OTD  Today in 1941 the Amarillo Daily News ran an article featuring Charles Sumner Lambie who was a Denver area civil engineer by day and a rare orchid breeder by night.  Lambie grew up in Pittsburgh tending the family garden.  He later married Margaret McCandless and together they raised nine children.   As his engineering firm became successful, Lambie's wife said he turned to the hobby of raising orchids as a means of relief from the stresses of his job. Mr. Lambie shared an upside that he discovered about greenhouse gardening: He no longer suffers from hay fever as he did when he gardened outside. After sharing the various types of orchids grown by Lambie, the article shared Lambie's method for documenting his plants. Here's what it said: "Mr. Lambie has a card index file ... on each plant. Here is a simple entry from the card of C. Talisman: "L.O. Talisman: 6 inches, December 1938, Christmas; Winter Bloomer, October to early summer, variable. Flowers large, Sepals and petals – Light to dark rose. Lip, dark rich crimson; Throat purple with yellow – gold veins." Mr. Lambie puts a protective canopy over the orchids when they are in bloom and he sprays them several times a day. When Mr. Lambie leaves town on business, Mrs. Lambie makes sure that the orchids are watered several times today. As the reporter for the story was leaving, Mrs. Lambie showed him a small orchidAnd shared that Mr. Lambie was given the orchid when he subscribed to an orchid magazine. The orchid is called the Charles Lambie Rittenberry orchid named for their grandson and of course it receives "very careful attention" she added with a smile.   #OTD   On this day in 1950, a very unusual dwarf Amaryllis species was collected in Peru by the eminent botanist, Dr. Ramon Ferreyra, July 11, 1950, and was sent to Dr. Hamilton P. Traub in the United States. Unfortunately, the bulbs experienced frost while they were being shipping in the mail. Some of the bulbs were totally destroyed, the surviving bulbs all had been damaged.  It took almost 18 months for Dr. Traub to nurse the frosted plants back to health. In recognition of his patience and skill, the Amaryllis was named Hippeastrum traubii.     Unearthed Words  Here’s a sweet diary entry from 1938 for today by Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol (“Sar-ee-all”)  shared by the Toronto Archives  on their fabulous twitter feed - which is a wonderful thing to follow:  "I find it hard to come in from the flower borders. My Pansies are a garden of enchantment in themselves. People who love Pansies should grow them from seed. I took the advice and I have never had such a profusion of bloom and of so many colors."   Today's book recommendation: Ornamental Shrubs, Climbers, and Bamboos by Graham Stuart Thomas    Graham Stuart Thomas introduces this essential, comprehensive reference of wood plants this way:   "All through my life I have been discovering plants; I do not mean going out into the wilds of other countries and bringing back new treasures for our gardens. I am no dauntless traveler. But, I remember the thrill of my first winter as a student at the Cambridge University botanic Garden of sniffing for the first time the delectable scent of winter sweet and the winter flowering honeysuckles, and learning how to distinguish them from each other...  I can claim to have grown, either directly or by proxy perhaps three quarters of the shrubs in this book; anymore have been observed to write about."   Of his book,Thomas differentiates from others he has read on the subject:   "My book is designed to help the reader consider the arrangements of his garden as a whole, And to furnish the different rooms with plants."   Graham Stuart Thomas helps gardeners relate to shrubs through characteristics such as size, evergreen or deciduous, color of flower, scent, season of flowering, autumn color, methods of propagation are all given in an ingenious Line of Facts for easy reference. Lively short descriptions of the characters of each plant help amateurs and professionals alike choose what to grow and what to avoid.     Today's Garden Chore   Deadhead to encourage more blooms What happens if you don't deadhead? You might miss out on valuable time that your plant could use to create that second flush of blooms. Plants to deadhead include: coreopsis, blue and white clips, geraniums, and dianthus. Another reason is to encourage more blooms the following year. Dead flower heads become seed pods and that takes energy from the plant. So be sure to deadhead peonies, roses, iris and lilies. As a general rule, when any plant looks leggy, it will benefit from deadheading or plain ol' pruning.   Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   #OTD  Today in 1936, the Danish botanist Clarence Henry Dennesen celebrated his 103rd birthday. Dennesen was once an internationally recognized authority on botany and he led an amazing life. He was captain under Christian IX in Denmark's war with Germany, was wounded In battle and captured by the enemy, was shipwrecked on the Isle of Crete and sailed around Cape Hope. After the adventurous days of the soldier and sailor, he became a professor at the Copenhagen School of Botany and among his pupils were a little princess who later became Queen Alexandria, mother of King George of England, and a little prince who later became King Constantine of Greece. The newspaper reported that, "the men's Bible class of St. John's Lutheran Church, in Jacksonville Florida, had planned a surprise birthday party, but the jolly old Dane wink as he hinted it is hard to surprise the man who is been around for 103 years." Dennesen immigrated to America in 1881 and lived to be 111 years old.     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

My aunt Debbie in Des Moines sent me some fantastic pictures of a great portable elevated plantar idea.   She was at Lowes and they had taken two old Weber grills and had spray-painted them different colors.  Then, they turned them into planters. In between the two of them they placed a bench.   What a great idea. Fantastic idea a great way to repurpose old grills turn them into elevated bed that you could use for annuals - which is what they did. In my case, I'm thinking it is a fun way to have a small edible or herb garden - right by your grill!     Brevities   #OTD It's the birthday of Martha Washington, born on this day in 1731.    The kitchen garden at Mount Vernon was said to have been Martha Washington's personal pride.   Surrounded by 4-inch-brick walls her garden was protected and it also enjoyed a bit of a microclimate. In addition to the walls, there were pear trees and apple trees that lined the walkways and provided a windbreaker for the vegetables.   There was even a cistern placed in the center of the garden; providing the garden with a steady supply of water.   One expert stated,   "Mrs. Washington had a passion for gardening and her summer residence at the Hasbrouck house allowed her to indulge in it."   One admirer said,   "Under her skillful hands, bloomed a garden like the desert of the Scriptures."           #OTD It was on this day in 1832 that George Thurtell held his impressive ranunculus show.   It was said that Thurtell had exhibited between 700 and 800 blooms; including 360 varieties.   They were preeminent in beauty, variety, color, form, and size.   Fourteen years after his ranunculus show, Thurtell was fined for horse-whipping a journalist on April 30, 1846.   Two years later, he pled guilty to stealing from a house where he was living as the gardener. He was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and he died serving his sentence.       #OTD  It was on this day in 1833 David Douglas' luck ran out.   On the Rocky Island of the Fraser river at Fort George Canyon, Douglas's canoe was smashed into bits and Douglas himself barely escaped alive.   All of Douglas's work: his specimens and all of his writings - covering the years from 1829 to 1833 - were lost to time.   Before losing all of his work, in the spring of that year, Douglas had written a friend:   "We can be carried into regions where we contemplate the most glorious workmanship of nature and where the dullest imagination becomes excited."           Unearthed Words   Here's The Rose Treeby William Butler he who was born on this day in 1865.   'O words are lightly spoken,'  Said Pearse to Connolly,  'Maybe a breath of politic words  Has withered our Rose Tree;  Or maybe but a wind that blows  Across the bitter sea.' 'It needs to be but watered,'  James Connolly replied,  'To make the green come out again  And spread on every side,  And shake the blossom from the bud  To be the garden's pride.' 'But where can we draw water,'  Said Pearse to Connolly,  'When all the wells are parched away?  O plain as plain can be  There's nothing but our own red blood  Can make a right Rose Tree.'   Here’s a sweet diary entry for today by Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol (“Sar-ee-all”) who wrote these words on this day in 1938. "A beautiful June day. The kind of day which has made June's reputation…. Tonight I finished my flower beds entirely…. How pleasant it is to water from a hose, when one has known the effort of hauling water pail by pail."        Today's book recommendation: The Flower Fix: Modern arrangements for a daily dose of nature by Anna Potter (Author), India Hobson (Photographer) The Flower Fix was a new book out in May of this year. Potter arranges easy to find seasonal blooms, along with found items such as twigs and dried fruit. And, she uses all kinds of containers. Potter is a florist at Swallows and Damsons. You can get your daily flower fix with her inspiring arrangements.       Today's Garden Chore Sow Love-in-a-Mist or Nigella in your garden.   It's one of my favorite flowers and I know I'm not alone; it is such a romantic blossom.   It's a member of the Buttercup family.   Although it comes in white and pink and lavender most gardeners are blown away by the blue version of love of Love-in-a-Mist.   It's a favorite with pollinators and it's self-seeding - which, if you're lucky, will bring you more love in the mist through the years.           Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart     It was on this day in 1831 that the scientist James clerk Maxwell was born.   Maxwell is remembered for his formulation of the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.   In 1922 but Albert Einstein visited the University of Cambridge his host announced that he is done great things because he stood on Isaac Newton shoulders.   Einstein replied "No, I don't. I stand on the shoulders of Maxwell."     In 1879 Maxwell wrote a letter to his friend William Thompson.   It's a letter gardeners can delight in:   Peacocks as Gardeners.   We got our original stock from Mrs McCunn, Ardhallow.   At that time (1860), the garden there was the finest on the coast and the peacocks sat on the parapets & banks near the house.   Mr. McCunn was very fond of his garden and very particular about it, but he also cared for his peacocks... Whenever he went out, he had bits of bread and such for them.   Mrs. Maxwell (my wife) always gets the peacocks to choose the gardener and they have chosen one who has now been seven years with us.   The peacocks will eat the young cabbages, but the gardener tells them to go...   They find it pleasanter to be about the house and to sit on either side of the front door.   Mrs Maxwell will not send them unless on consideration they would be acceptable.         Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Today is National Garden Meditation Day.   Forget about your troubles   Go to the garden (if you're not there already).   Feel the breeze or the sprinkles.   Smell the rain.   Look at all the signs of life around you... all the shades of green emerging from the ground.   Listen to the sound of spring.   Garden time is restorative and resetting.   Use #GardenMeditationDay today when you post on social media.       Brevities   #OTD Born on this day in 1863, Walter Elias Broadway; a kew gardener and authority on West Indian plants.   Broadway was recognized by George V for his work in horticulture, although his career was shaded by bad blood with his supervisor John Hart and a drinking problem.   In 1888, Kew sent Broadway to Trinidad and Tobago to take up the newly created role of Assistant Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden.   Initially, everything seemed wonderful; the islands were a tropical plant-lovers paradise and there was already a botanic garden and herbarium in place. All Broadway needed to do was launch himself into learning everything he could about the tropical plants without a definitive reference to guide him. How hard could that be?   Along the way, his eagerness to get plant id's from Kew and the British Museum, led him to go around his boss. It wasn't long before Hart required Broadway to funnel all of his collected specimens through him. Things deteriorated further when Hart ordered Broadway to devote his discretionary time to the garden - calling him in from his beloved field time and severely limiting his ability to collect new plant specimens.   Broadway found other pursuits to bring him joy and satisfaction. He adored learning about the history of Trinidad. He found he loved to collect insect specimens. He helped found the Trinidad Field Naturalists' Club. Despite Hart's limitations, Walter Broadway truly mastered the art of plant collecting.    Broadway took the chance to get away from the day to day with Hart when the curator of the Botanic Gardens in Grenada opened up. It was there, that he started collecting for private herbariums. It didn't make him rich, but it helped alleviate his frequent financial difficulties.   Broadway spent over a decade in Grenada before heading to neighboring Tobago. By 1908, Hart had been forced to retire. Broadway resumed collecting with great zeal; he even sent mosses to Elisabeth Britton.   By 1915, Broadway was transferred back to Trinidad. He continued exploring remote parts of the island to collect plants.    Broadway retired in 1923 and he lived his final years in Trinidad - the island that had stolen his heart. His devotion to the natural world never waned and he was always on the lookout for new or interesting plants to sell to his private clientele. Although a flora of Trinidad and Tobago was published in 1928, Broadway was not a part of it. That said, much of the works cited references Broadway's collections - there was simply no disputing his collecting contributions.   botanist Andrew Carr described Broadway as "an exceptionally fine man. Entirely unselfish in spirit, he was always ready to share his vast knowledge of the botany of the island with other interested persons. I shall never forget his joy at discovering a new species of moss in a drain in Oxford Street. He was regarded, and justifiably so, as a walking encyclopedia on the botany of these parts ... "   Today, at the annual flower show of The Trinidad & Tobago, the Walter Elias Broadway Memorial Trophy is awarded for the best foliage plant exhibit.   #OTD On this day in 1819, botanist and philanthropist Henry Shaw arrived in St. Louis. St. Louis had been founded over fifty years before Shaw's arrival, and the population by 1820 was just over 10,000 people. Shaw is commemorated on the St. Louis Walk of Fame with this epitaph: Henry Shaw, only 18 when he came to St. Louis, was one of the city’s largest landowners by age 40. Working with leading botanists, he planned, funded and built the Missouri Botanical Garden, which opened in 1859. Shaw donated the land for Tower Grove Park and helped with its construction. He wrote botanical tracts, endowed Washington University’s School of Botany, helped found the Missouri Historical Society, and gave the city a school and land for a hospital. Of Shaw’s gifts, the Botanical Garden is best-known. Said as early as 1868 to have “no equal in the United States, and, indeed, few anywhere in the world." In addition to the Botanical Garden, Shaw built the Linnean House in 1882. It is the oldest continuously operated public greenhouse west of the Mississippi River and was originally designed to be an orangery; a place to overwinter citrus trees, palms and tree ferns.     #OTD On this day in 2015, all Saks Fifth Avenue stores simultaneously revealed their month-long May spring theme of Glam Gardens and each store was transformed into a garden paradise.   Beauty-themed garden installations flourished in windows and throughout the stores with floral themes in the Glam Gardens catalog and on saks.com. With the help of 35 beauty and fragrance vendors, Saks Fifth Avenue created individual gardenscapes within each window; woven into magnificent floral façades. To achieve the look, over 120 boxwood balls, ten full-grown climbing topiary trees, and more than 100,000 flowers were installed. Like the store’s iconic holiday windows, each garden vignette offered a distinctive botanical world to inspire customers and create conversations.   Mark Briggs, Chief Marketing Officer, Saks Fifth Avenue lauded the Glam Gardens event, saying, “Through Glam Gardens we have created a breathtaking living tribute to Mother Nature. Spring fragrance and color inspirations will be brought to life through blooming cascades of floral artistry. We hope to bring an element of delight to all who visit Saks this season.”     Today, Friday, May 3 - Sunday, May 5 marks the annual Valleyof Flowers Festival in Florissant, Missouri.   One of the oldest settlements in the state of Missouri, the Flowers Festival has been held in Florissant every year since 1963. Established by French settlers, the village was originally called "Fleurissant", meaning "Blooming". Originally a separate town, it's now an inner suburb of St. Louis.     Unearthed Words #OTD An esteemed son of Toronto was born on this day in 1904: Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol, (May 3, 1904 – December 16, 1995); a one man conservation powerhouse - saving of many natural areas in Ontario and across Canada.   Here’s a sweet diary entry for today by Canadian Naturalist Charles Joseph Sauriol (“Sar-ee-all”) from 1938 shared by the Toronto Archiveson their fabulous twitter feed - which is a wonderful thing to follow:   Charles Sauriol owned property in the Don River valley and was an advocate for the valley's preservation.  Even as a teenager, he loved it, writing in an unpublished manuscript: “The perfume I liked was the smell of a wood fire. Planting seed or trees was preferable to throwing one’s seed around recklessly... The dance floor I knew best was a long carpet of Pine needles.” In 1927 he purchased a 40 hectare property at the Forks of the Don. He used this as a cottage and every year he and his wife and four kids stayed there during the summer. There were ducks, a goat and a pet raccoon named Davy who followed Sauriol around like a dog.   At the end of his first summer at the cottage in Don Valley, Sauriol wrote about leaving the place he loved: With summer’s heat the weeks sped by, And springtime streams did all but dry. But days grew short and followed on, Oh, blissful memory of the Don. Of you we think with saddened heart, Our time is up and we must part.     Today's book recommendation  American Eden: David Hosack, Botany and Medicine in the Garden of the Early Republic, by Award-winning historian and author Victoria Johnson Johnson will deliver the 2019 John Dwyer Public Lecture at 4 p.m. today in the Shoenberg Auditorium at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Johnson’s illustrated lecture features her new book, American Eden, which both the Wall Street Journal and Ron Chernow, author of Alexander Hamilton, have called “captivating.” David Hosack established the nation's first public botanical garden, including plants from South America, Asia and Australia, in the early 1800s. Today, his former garden is the site of Rockefeller Center.        Today's Garden Chore It's another Photo Friday in the Garden.   In honor of garden meditation day, bring your smartphone to the garden and take a panoramic photo of your favorite spot. You might have to practice doing this a few times; and if you don't know how you can watch a quick YouTube video for help. Once you've finished, you'll have your favorite spot with you at all times and you can meditate in your garden even you're away.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   While researching Henry Shaw, I stumbled on a story that reveals Shaw's great love for the plants in his garden.    It was posted in the St. Louis Star and Times on April 5, 1933 "Mr. Shaw was escorting a lady through his gardens, pointing out objects of interest.   The visitor said: " I cannot understand, Sir, how you are able to remember all of these difficult names."   He replied, with a courtly bow, "Madame, did you ever know a mother to forget the names of her children? These plants and flowers are my little ones."     Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

On August 1, 1966 Charles Joseph Whitman dressed like a janitor and placed food, water, knives, rope, toilet paper, and deodorant, among other things, into a footlocker. He then took that footlocker and loaded it into his car along with a dolly and numerous firearms. Whitman drove down to the University of Texas where he was a student and began to climb the tower. Once reaching the observation deck, he went on a shooting spree that would eventually kill 18 people and wound 31 others. Police and civilians would eventually kill Whitman, and though he never had to stand trial, we know he was guilty. Be sure to leave a review on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts!

In 1894, a group of African American men from the Bay St Louis area formed the One Hundred Members Benevolent Debating Association. In 1922, the Association constructed a meeting hall as place to conduct fundraising events.  Known as the Hundred Men Hall, it became a regular stop for many of the greatest musical acts of the day.
