Every autumn, Blandy Experimental Farm, home to the Virginia State Arboretum, transforms into a golden wonderland as over 300 ginkgo trees burst into vibrant color. In this episode of Tourism Tuesday on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sat down with Melanie Mullinax, Communications and Event Manager at Blandy, to discuss the much-anticipated Ginkgo Gold Weekends and the unique experiences awaiting visitors. Ginkgo Gold Weekends: More Than Just Leaves Melanie reveals that the Ginkgo Gold Weekends, held during the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November, have become a highlight for nature lovers across the state. While the main attraction is the breathtaking canopy of golden ginkgo leaves, the event offers much more. Visitors can enjoy food trucks, browse local artisan vendors selling ginkgo-themed jewelry and art, and pick up exclusive souvenirs like canvas bags designed by regional artists. The weekends are designed to be festive yet low-key, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the grove. A Living Laboratory with Deep Roots The conversation delves into the history of Blandy's ginkgo grove, which was planted nearly a century ago as part of a scientific experiment. Melanie explains that the original trees were brought from Charlottesville to study propagation and gender distribution, resulting in today's perfectly balanced grove of male and female trees. This scientific legacy continues to inform the educational mission of the farm, with “ginkgo guides” on hand during the event to answer visitors' questions about the trees and their unique characteristics. Community Engagement and Lasting Memories Blandy's Ginkgo Gold Weekends are not just about admiring the scenery—they're about building community. The popular Ginkgo tree sponsorship program allows visitors to “adopt” a tree, complete with a personalized tag and a photo opportunity. Volunteers play a crucial role in making the weekends a success, from helping with sponsorships and souvenirs to guiding guests and ensuring accessibility for all. Tips for the Perfect Visit For those seeking a quieter experience, Melanie suggests visiting the grove on weekdays, when the crowds thin and the atmosphere becomes serene. She also shares practical advice, such as wearing appropriate footwear to avoid the infamous ginkgo fruit scent and taking advantage of the farm's accessible paths for those with mobility needs. Beyond Autumn: Holiday Traditions at Blandy As the golden leaves fall, Blandy shifts gears to its beloved holiday wreath workshops, a tradition spanning over 40 years. Melanie encourages listeners to become members of the State Arboretum for early registration and other perks, noting that membership supports the farm's ongoing operations and educational programs. A Must-See Virginia Tradition Janet and Melanie's conversation paints a vivid picture of Ginkgo Gold Weekends as a celebration of nature, community, and tradition. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning fan, Blandy Experimental Farm offers a magical autumn experience that lingers long after the last leaf has fallen.

It's claimed events such as Clare Pride are more important than ever for the LGBTQ+ community given a resurgence in online abuse. It comes as the fourth ever edition of this county's festival gets underway today. In 2023, over 250 people attended Clare's first ever Pride Parade and according to its organisers, the festival as a whole has grown from strength to strength since. This year, Quare Clare says its aiming to focus on involving more groups than ever before, and the week's events will kick off tonight with an inclusivity talk hosted by Shannon Toastmasters. Sporting events will also feature for the first time, including a soccer tournament hosted by Shannon Town FC and bike riders in conjunction with the Clare Sports Partnership. Quare Clare Secretary, Orla Vaughan says they want to create a safe space for as many people as possible regardless of gender or orientation. The main events take place on Saturday, with the Parade through Ennis town taking place at 12.30pm, followed by a family fun event and an evening after-party. According to Clare Pride's Event Manager, the importance of attending and participating have been crystallised, due to a surge in online abuse directed at the LGBTQ+ community. Karina Murray insists in-person events can go a long way towards helping.

Send us a text"Sometimes I feel things very intensely," reveals Violeta Abarzua Vasquezas she shares her journey of discovering neurodivergence in both herself and her children. This revelation transformed not only her understanding of her family but sparked the creation of Mingle Co – an organisation dedicated to building genuine connection for neurodivergent people.After 21 years working across the disability sector, Vee noticed a critical gap: many neurodivergent individuals desperately wanted meaningful connections but found traditional social spaces overwhelming and alienating. Drawing from her own experiences of feeling "complicated" and "quirky," she designed events where sensory needs are anticipated, fidgets are welcomed, and deep conversations replace uncomfortable small talk. The result? Spaces where people can truly be themselves – sometimes for the first time in their lives.Vee's approach to parenting her neurodivergent children offers powerful insights for families. When her daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at 18, V reflected on the words she'd spoken years earlier: "I love how you see the world. Don't change for anyone." These simple words had profoundly impacted her daughter who had always felt "out of place." Similarly, understanding her four-year-old son's PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) transformed daily challenges by respecting his need for autonomy.Perhaps most inspiring is Vee's vision for the future – a world where inclusivity isn't an afterthought but fundamentally woven into our schools, workplaces, and social spaces. "Inclusivity helps everyone, absolutely everyone," she emphasizes. Through her events, podcast, and award-winning documentary celebrating neurodivergent stories, Vee isn't just talking about change – she's creating it, one connection at a time.Discover how embracing different ways of seeing the world can transform lives. Listen now and consider: how might we all contribute to creating spaces where everyone truly belongs?mingleco.com.auhttps://mingleco.com.au/community-podcast/Documentary Information on Mingleco website danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

42, Kommunikationsexperte, Event-Manager und Präsident von Hertha BSC (verstorben am 16.01.2024) Identität ist ja ein großes Wort. Kultur gibt uns Identität, Sprache, Essen, Kunst. Traditionen.

Und apropos Schmerz, da sind wir bei Hertha BSC. Dieser Fußballverein, einer von zweien in der Hauptstadt, dürfte auch allen Nicht-Kundigen ein Begriff sein. Roundabout 40.000 Mitglieder gibt es momentan und einen verhältnismäßig neuen Präsidenten, nicht mal 1 Jahr ist er jetzt im Amt und er ist angetreten, um die alte Dame Hertha zu renovieren. Wiederzubeleben. Zu stabilisieren. Um ihr zum Erfolg zu verhelfen. Kay Bernstein, Jahrgang 1980, meint es ernst. Mehr als 2 Drittel seines Lebens hat er seinem Verein bislang verschrieben, sein Herzblut, seine Zeit, seine Stimme. Früher stand er in der Fankurve, er sang, brüllte und choreografierte. Irgendwann gründete er ein eigenes Unternehmen und stellte sich - für viele überraschend - 2022 als Präsident zur Wahl. Kein Funktionär also, kein ehemaliger Spieler, sondern einer von unten, aus der Kurve. Kay Bernstein verstarb ganz plötzlich und viel zu früh im Januar 2024 mit nur 43 Jahren.

In this episode of Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Melanie Mullinax, the Communications and Event Manager for the State Arboretum of Virginia at Blandy Experimental Farm. The conversation kicks off with discussions around the highly anticipated “Ginkgo Gold Weekends,” during the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November. This period sees thousands of visitors flocking to witness the vibrant golden foliage of Blandy's ginkgo trees. Melanie explains that the grove of 300+ ginkgo trees bursts into glorious golden color, attracting visitors from across the region. This phenomenon is so popular that Blandy has to provide extra restrooms and food vendors during these weekends to accommodate the influx of tourists. Blandy also offers a unique opportunity to sponsor a ginkgo tree for $100, valid for a five-year period, with the donor's name tagged to the tree. Janet and Melanie discuss the arboretum's user-friendly initiatives, like providing real-time updates on the tree colors on their website to help visitors plan their trip. They also talk about Blandy's wide variety of trees and how it's a perfect spot for photographers and families alike. Photographers, whether amateur or professional, often choose Blandy for family photos, engagement pictures, and even wedding photos.

These workshops are a community favorite and represent one of many benefits of Blandy membership. Melanie also elaborates on how the arboretum is a year-round attraction, free to the public, and details several initiatives to improve the visitor experience, including accessible parking and special events. The conversation wraps up with Melanie sharing that more information can be found on the Blandy website: https://blandy.virginia.edu/ and social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, where they frequently update followers on upcoming events, educational posts, and behind-the-scenes insights.
