ARS 2008 Field Trip to Maine

The following message is from our Mass Chapter presidents Susan & Doug Harding.

Please contact them directly with any questions or to reserve a spot.

Contact info provided below.

Joe Bruso

 

 

Join us on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 for a day trip to Maine. Doug and I have been intrigued by reading about the development of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Booth Bay. With over 250 acres of waterfront property it has a lovely setting for the ambitious designs of many different gardens. In addition, it is hosting this month an exhibit by George Sherwood of his "Wind and Light Kinetic Sculptures." 

 

According to the website (www.maingardens.org) the botanical garden is about 1 hour northeast from Portland. Since we are two hours from Portland, we plan to leave at 8 a.m. so we can be there about 11 a.m., allowing several hours for a thorough tour. There is a cafeteria, if one does not want to bring a sandwich.  On the way back we plan to stop at York Nurseries in Bath, about ½ hour back towards home. Tom is a member of the ARS-MA chapter and has a very impressive list of rhododendrons he grows for sale, as well as companion plants, kalmias, and magnolias. He said that he would be there that afternoon to tell us about his nursery. (He also said that the botancial gardens were spectacular.)

 

We will be happy to bring up to three people with us in our car on a first come, first serve basis. We can also plan to just meet at the garden at about 11 a.m. Until I hear from some of you, I will not try to arrange a tour. Because of the distance, some might want to stay over night, which should be possible in the middle of the week. We considered going on the weekend, but the traffic in and out of Maine is so heavy that we abandoned that in favor of the mid-week date.

 

Please let us know if you are interested in the trip. You can call us at 781.259.0968 or email us at dsh1965@comcast.net. We are off for a week's vacation, so we'll be back in touch by 7/27.

 

Hope you are having a good summer.

Susan and Doug Harding

Sad News: Peter Wharton

Sorry to have to let you that Peter Wharton passed away yesterday
morning. As many will know Peter made the Asian Garden at UBC in
Vancouver a world class garden. He was a tireless plant hunter and so
many owe him thanks for the many fine new plants - rhododendrons and
magnolias were special passions - that he introduced into so many
gardens, botanical and private. Peter had recently returned home from
what was to be his last collecting trip to Szechuan and fell ill. A
great loss for the plant world especially at such a young age.
