GARDEN CONSERVANCY OPEN DAYS - JULY ON THE EAST END
Many opportunities to visit great local gardens are available in July and the majority are gardens of HAH members! Even if you have visited these gardens in the past, remember that every garden changes with the seasons and from week to week as different plants come and go in their cycles. No garden is static even for a day, and gardeners’ ideas keep growing and changing as well. So treat yourself to some days looking at other gardens and not just working in your own. You will be inspired! Admission at each garden is $10 per person (children 12 and under are free) or one Open Days ticket (purchased in advance online) per person. Members of the Conservancy can purchase a book of 6 tickets for $30. Nonmembers can purchase a book of 6 tickets for $50. More info: https://www.gardenconservancy.org/open-days

✍ PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ✍

Dear Fellow Gardeners, I hope that you’re deep into your enjoyment of summer and all the good things that it brings. On the hottest days, we need to remember January and be grateful for the heat and light we have now, even if it means quickly multiplying weeds. By now we can sleep with windows open, swim in the ocean, eat local corn, and admire the echinaceas, daylilies, and other plants flowering in mid-summer. We typically slow down our lecture program in the summer so that we can all spend more time with our gardens and our guests, but we have a very special program coming up with new author but experienced landscape designer Frederico Azevedo. See details in the June newsletter. We also use the summer for local and regional garden tours, so take a look at what we’re offering in terms of a trip to see the magnificent Roberto Burle Marx exhibit at NYBG on July 16. Happy gardening, Alicia
