Flower Arranging: Topiaries
From Lois Frampton: Topiaries can be loose or tight in the style of Martha Stewart. They may or may not have greens. They are not symmetric; but they are balanced from all angles. There are several types of mechanics that can be used. The easiest is a candlestick which is at least 15" high. Lois will lead a workshop in topiary arranging on March 1, 2012 at Friendly Crossways. Contact Lois for more information. Lois' contact information is in the Garden Club yearbook.

Hi. I finally got myself signed up to the HGC blog. It was easy as pie.
Does anyone have any advice for getting rid of voles who are eating my Hostas? I have been salvaging little pieces of root plate and relocating them to Brewster. I would love to get control of the voles here, though. Thanks. Shirley

Gardens in Southern France, June 2011
This summer we traveled to the Dordogne and Lot regions of southern France. Everyone has a garden whether a yard full of flowers and vegetables, containers of flowers set outside, or roses and wisteria climbing over stone walls. There are roses everywhere!

Flower Arranging with Lois Frampton
On June 5 Lois Frampton led a flower arranging workshop focusing on big arrangements. The trick to this type of arrangement is building support for it as part of the container. In this case we taped chicken wire to the top of the vase. Here's my arrangement after I brought it home.
