ARS Mass Chapter Meeting Tomorrow - Foliage!
Our October meeting will is tomorrow (Wednesday, 10/22/08) at 7:30 PM at the Waltham Field Station.
The theme for this meeting, appropriate for this month, is foliage.
Firstly, our Fall Foliage show will be held. Bring your best - and worst foliage, to be judged by popular vote.
Please arrive a little early to set up your foliage. See this month's chapter Newsletter for full details, entry classes and rules.
Secondly, Rolff Briggs of Tree Specialists, Inc will present on maintenance of shrubs and trees. For most of us that grow rhododendrons, trees are a vital part of our landscape and essential for keeping our broad-leaved rhododendrons looking their best. So it is appropriate that we learn more about these major components of our gardens. Again, see the latest Newsletter for full details.

FOUNDERS' DAY BRUNCH NOVEMBER 16 SUNDAY
TOWER HILL BOTANIC GARDEN 10am -2pm
Once again we continue our very popular tradition of having our annual Founders' Day Brunch at beautiful Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA. Come and enjoy the spectacular late fall landscape on Tower Hill's hilltop, tour the lush Orangerie (a fabulous glass house full of tropicals), and do some early Christmas shopping in the wonderful gift shop. If the weather is cooperative, save some time to tour the gardens, which will still have quite a bit of seasonal interest, and walk the trails through the fields and woods.
Program: The Dick Brooks Memorial Speaker this year will be Warren Leach, landscape horticulturist and co-owner of Tranquil Lake Nursery in Rehoboth, MA. Warren is well known as a speaker to garden clubs at the local and state levels, and as a lecturer for the Arnold Arboretum, University of Rhode Island, and various conferences. He creates designs for homes and businesses, ranging from renovations to a perennial border, back yard, or a construction site. In 2007 he and his wife Debi Hogan won awards for their miniature Classical Chinese Scholars Garden at the New England Spring Flower Show. Tranquil Lake Nursery specializes in daylilies and both Siberian and Japanese iris. With ten acres of growing fields it is the largest grower of them in the Northeast, offering more than 2500 daylily cultivars, and it is one of 17 test sites for daylilies and a display garden for the American Hemerocallis Society. They have a great web site. www.tranquil-lake.com
Seed Exchange: We will also have our annual seed exchange, including Tony Knight's 2006 Cross of the Year. Bring your labeled contributions to the exchange in ziploc bags.
Brunch: Starting at 10:00 a.m. we will have a delicious brunch, very similar to last year's fare, but including a wonderful sounding Tuscan bean soup as well this year. The apricot pudding is also returning!
Cost: $36 per person Reservations required
Reservations: Send your check, with your name and address, for $36 per person, made out to ARSMC to:
Pete Littlefield
F DEADLINE FOR RESERVATIONS NOVEMBER 1 E
We must give the caterer the number of attendees before the brunch, so be sure to get your checks & reservations in to the Littlefields by the deadline.
Directions: From Route 495 take Route 290 West towards Worcester. Take Exit 24, Church Street, Northborough/Boylston. Follow Church Street towards Boylston (Right at the foot of the exit ramp), about 3 miles. The entrance to Tower Hill is on the right, well signed. You do not need to pay an entrance fee; say you are attending the Brunch. Follow the entrance road up the hill to the parking lots. Our brunch is in the Stoddard Building, the main building, in one of the meeting rooms at the end of the long corridor.
