PRESIDENT’S THEME

2015-2016 MANTRA

“LESSONS FROM THE GOOSE”

To show the importance of teamwork, we can take examples from the lives of geese;

1. As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the birds that by flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock gains 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone. People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are travel-ing on the thrust of one another.

2. Fact: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it. If we have as much sense as a goose we will stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to oth-ers.

3. When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation another goose flies to the point position. It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other’s skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents and resources.

4. The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up in front to keep up their speed. We need to make sure that our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encourage-ment the production is much greater. The power of encourage-ment (to stand by one’s core values and to encourage the core values of others) is the quality of honking we seek.

HOW WE WERE PLANTED!

The Port Angeles Garden Club traces its beginnings from 1934 and the efforts of Jessie Webster. Jessie, who was very involved in her family's newspapers, the Olympic Leader and the Port Angeles Even-ing News, played a very active role in community affairs. She was active in all areas of the community, working on such things as home fire prevention and the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Commerce Club of Port Angeles. Through her diligent efforts she was instrumental in getting the city of Port Angeles to build a public library and set up a city park

system.

When the Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Commercial Club of Port Angeles dissolved it was Jessie Webster who organized the transfer of the Auxiliary‘s funds to form the seed money for the Port Angeles Garden Club. The club carried on the Auxiliary's work of city beautification with its first big project, planting hawthorne trees along a part of First

Street.

Although never officially named as the Port Angeles Garden Club‘s first president, it is certain that Jessie was the ―mother‖ of our organi-zation. As an interesting and important person in Port Angeles, after a trip to Victoria, BC in 1935, Jessie Webster met and brought back ―greetings‖ to our club from Jennie Butchart, who had started the Butchart Gardens in 1904.

Library Continued

22. New Approach to Design Principles - Sutter – 1967 – If you like organization, this

is the design book for you. The author uses outline form to show the relationships of the ele-ments and principles in floral design. Complex ideas are broken down into small understanda-ble parts. Using definitions, analogies, comparisons, and examples, this author has created a text that may really work for those having difficulty understanding this aesthetic topic.

23. New Kitchen Garden – Pavord – Not so new, this is a nice picture book that offers

basic information about planning, planting, and cultivating a kitchen garden. There are chap-ters on understanding the soil, crop rotation, harvesting and storing, etc. It is rather general, but can be a good place to start.

24. Orchard Mason Bee –Griffin - A small handbook on the life history, biology, propaga-

tion, and use of a North American Native Bee, the Orchard Mason Bee. 25. . Right Plant, Right Place – This book lists the botanical and common names of plants and includes a separate index for each. The photos are beautiful and give info as to soil, sun, alkalinity, acidity, water needs, as well as, bloom time, color, height, and hardiness. It makes recommendations for plants for various sites, problem sites, light, etc. It also categorizes plants by color, foliage, fragrance, suitability for containers, etc. Good for gardeners of all levels of experience.

26. Rock Garden: Planning and Planting – Kelly -A small book with lots of pictures and

information on how and where to build different kinds of rock gardens. It includes a dictionary of appropriate plants, how to get them started and to propagate them and their aftercare.

27. Rodale’s All New Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening - A 1992 version of the

Rodale classic The Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. Although there are many more cur-rent sources for this topic, this is a resource book that includes information on organically raising food crops and maintaining perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs, and lawns. The entries are listed as in an encyclopedia. The plant information includes descriptions, planting and growing guidelines, problems, and landscape uses or harvesting, and best cultivars. Broader topics include gardening techniques and organic gardening management. A great basic re-source.

28. Weeds of the West – Western Society of Weed Science – A comprehensive pictorial

guide to weeds of the West. An in-depth description of each weed is presented. Does not

address means of control of the weeds. The introduction is a must-read.

29. The Wildflower Book (From the Rockies West) – Stokes – The first 35 pages of this

90 some page paperback are the most interesting. They offer tips on conservation of wildflow-ers, applicable even now, including a list of ―aggressive alien plants‖. It offers three methods of establishing wildflower meadows, as well as, how to create woodland and dry-area and rock gardens with wildflowers. There is some info on xeriscaping (conserving water), wild-flowers for wildlife, and arranging and drying wildflowers. The rest of the book is a ―Gallery of

Favorite Wildflowers‖ covering lore, identification, and growing tips.

30. Wildflowers of Western America – Orr – A descriptive guide with 291 photographs

and a ―special identification system‖ (They made up their own.) What are interesting about this 1974 edition are the folklore and wildflower recipes. You can learn to make your own Bistort soup or Nettle Brotchan.

If you need more information on these books visit our website.

NOTES ABOUT MEETING

57

11. Creating/ Cattails, Cones, and Pods – Aldrich - This is a 1970‘s craft/hobby type

book. At first glance it seems too dated to be useful. However, the old standard craft ideas could be adapted to new areas such as fantasy flowers.

12. Creative Flower Arranging - Belcher - This book on floral design gives very clear

illustrations and definitions of design terminology and concepts. It starts with a brief history of floral design, gives the basics of containers, mechanics, and plant material then moves out to the more creative aspects of aesthetics and color. If you are a beginner or are just curious about floral design, this is a great place to start. (I‘d check on more current rules and concepts for comparison.)

13. Deer Proofing Your Garden – Hart- According to the jacket blurb on this paperback,

you can learn how to identify deer damage, make your own homemade deterrents, select commercial repellents that work, design a landscape that repels deer, and develop deer management strategies with your neighbors by reading this book. Anything is worth a try when it comes to dealing with the deer, right?

14. Designing by Types – Published by National Garden Clubs, Inc – Ed. Osborne 2008

With almost 200 colored pictures of designs, this book was created to complement the design chapter of the 2007 Handbook for Flower Shows. It expands upon the more than 40 design types listed in that handbook. The editor hoped that it would provide a reference for those who enjoy the Design Division of an NGC Standard Flower Show.

15. Encyclopedia of Gardening – The American Horticultural Society – Ed. Brickell –

―The Definitive Practical Guide to Gardening Techniques, Planning, and Maintenance.‖ This is a huge, beautiful tome that is in much too excellent condition to have been much loved. It should be taken home, perused, caressed, held in sweaty hands anticipating an early spring when we can get out there in the garden.

16. Encyclopedia of Herbs and their Uses – The Herb Society of America – Brown –

This is indeed an Encyclopedia with a capital E. Everything you ever wanted to know and more about herbs, their history and uses and wonderful pictures can be found in this huge volume.

17. Essential Gardener – Fell- A large, colorful guide divided into sections on annuals,

perennials, flowering bulbs, roses, trees and shrubs, and vegetables and herbs. Specific How-to information is given for each group, and a complete chapter of garden designs sug-gests how to use the plants in a home landscape. There are charts that tell when plants normally bloom, info on propagation, color guides. The color photographs alone make this a wonderful book to peruse.

18. The Essential Pruning Companion Malins - A guide to effective and creative

pruning with step-by-step diagrams of the right and wrong way to do it. There is even an A-Z dictionary for specific plants. Lots of sketches and color pictures. (1992)

19. Gardener’s Dictionary of Horticultural Terms - Bagust - A guide to the vocabu-

lary of gardening terms explained in simple language with many diagrams. If you are won-dering what a pomato is, just look in this handy dictionary.

20. Herbs to See, to Smell, to Taste – Goetz -A 39 page booklet with info on harvest-

ing and recipes for using herbs for teas, body care, household use, cooking, and potpourri. There are some garden design notes and basic information on growing herbs.

21. Natural Insect and Disease Control - A plant by plant encyclopedia of which

insect/disease is a challenge for each plant and natural ways to combat them. This is anoth-er older Rodale book. There may be newer ideas available.

56

PAGC LIBRARY

These wonderful reference books are 1990‘s versions unless otherwise noted. At this time these books are stored at Bobbie Daniels‘ home and can be checked out by contacting her.

1. All About Growing Fruits and Berries – 1976 – Ortho – Yikes, this paperback from

Ortho, Chevron Chemical Company, includes information researched by several universities and extension services. It provides material on tree fruits, home gardening specialties, small fruits, space-saver training, pollination, pruning and grafting. Keeping our environmental goals in mind, make wise decisions when reading the pest and diseases section. (Other alternatives are available.)

2. Art of Dried Flowers

3. Big Ideas for NW Small Gardens - 2003 paperback with pictures. Topics are small

gardens for the Front, Side, Pathways, Back, Balcony and Rooftop, Courtyard, Patio and Deck. This is an idea book that includes design, planning and planting ideas for small places.

4. Birdscaping Your Garden - Adams –The subtitle is A Practical Guide to Backyard

Birds and the Plants that attract Them. This is more descriptive of this book. Most of it is de-voted to information on 64 birds, not specifically of the Northwest, and what native plants are best suited in your yard to attract them.

5. The Book of Country Herbal Crafts – Cusick- Herbs are in. Even old books will offer

myriad ideas of what to do with your herbs. First there are a few pages on common/botanical names of herbs, a brief history, method of propagation, growing requirements, parts used, and harvesting information. Then there are some brief how-to‘s on preserving and preparing herbs for crafts. A large section on wreaths follows then specific directions for making garlands, swags, arrangements, topiaries and many other creative items. Most of these projects require a large amount of dried material.

6. Book of Potpourri - Black – Beautiful pictorial with in-depth presentation of everything

one would ever want to know about potpourri. Includes some history, many recipes, ideas and directions for making accessories, floral arrangements and drying techniques. A fun book to browse.

7. Botany in a Day – Elpel – Well, maybe not in a day. But this book takes the approach

that if one studies the patterns in plants, learning to identify the plants and their uses together as groups and families, a short-cut to the study of botany and herb ology has become availa-ble. The main sections are about the evolution of plants, how to use a key, some plant divi-sions, and the properties of plants.

8. Chemical Free Yard and Garden - Another 1990‘s hard back reference book by

Rodale. This book guides the gardener in making the switch to Organic Gardening. It includes a month by month garden calendar. It is much more science oriented explaining the reasons to go Organic.

9. Common Edible and Useful Plants -This little black and white reference book

should be in your ―bug out‖ bag. If you ever need to survive in the woods or just enjoy reading about how the Indians, pioneers and early Spanish-Americans used many of the common wild plants of the west, this is the book for you. (1976)

10. Complete Book of Hardy Perennials – Bird -The first half of this reference book is

useful for the beginning gardener for the information on planning a garden, techniques for preparation, planting, propagation and tips on special areas such as woodland areas, perenni-als as container plants, and herb gardens. The last half lists hardy perennials. (The use of vernacular names of plants makes this a little difficult to use. Few color pictures.)

Beautification Projects—Continued

Memorial Garden at Clallam County Fairgrounds

Since 2003, PAGC has developed and maintained an area near the entrance to the Clallam County Fairgrounds. The club provides rose bushes and other shrubs as memorials for members and incorporates this activity with Arbor Day. There is a hand painted rock at the base of each rose with the honored member‘s name. The landscaped area

welcomes all who come to the fairgrounds.

Clallam County Fair Hanging Baskets

Since 1982, PAGC has provided thirteen large hanging flower baskets made by Port Angeles High School Woodshop for the promenade at the Clallam County Fairgrounds for display during the annual fair. Members plant and care for the baskets through the summer so the flowers are in

peak condition for all fair-goers to enjoy.

Green Thumb Awards

Certificates of recognition are given four times a year to residents who have personally developed landscapes that enhance a season of the year. These places must be easily seen from the street and the large blue ribbon sign placed in their yard gives appropriate recognition for their hard work.

BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS

Port Angeles City Downtown Planters

Since 1993 members have planted city purchased annuals in some 24 large, double-tiered concrete planters along First and Front Streets. Everyone using the Coho Ferry, going to our city‘s farmers‘ market, shopping, dining in our local restaurants or even driving on Highway 101,

is able to see and enjoy these colorful flower displays.

Port Angeles City Downtown Hanging Baskets

Since 1989, every spring our members have planted some 100 large hanging baskets at the city‘s greenhouse. Each basket contains 25 plants. City workers then tend the baskets until ready to be hung on our downtown streets. At one time PAGC planted and the city hung 200 baskets lining First, Front and Lincoln Streets. The club paid for and do-nated 48 baskets to the city for this project. Prior to partnering with the city of Port Angeles the club had been providing planted flower baskets

for forty years.

Mary Louise Withers, a Past PAGC President, was quoted in the local newspaper as saying that the club, beginning in 1950, started decorating downtown with bright blue baskets filled with cascading flowers that were hung on the lamp posts. The club, with the help of the Port Angeles Fire Department and city workers, put the baskets up every spring for forty

years.

Billie Loos’ Waterfront Garden

Since 2002 the PAGC has planted daffodils, tulips and calendulas along a water front area of Port Angeles Harbor in memory of a member Billie Loos. Originally begun by Billie Loos, the garden‘s care was taken over by the club after she was stricken with ALS and passed away. As part of Port Angeles‘ downtown $3.9 million esplanade project around the water-front, Billie Loos‘ garden was relocated and the club is now adding sea-

sonal color to the new area.

Continuing Club Projects….

Garden Therapy

In mid-December club members visit Park View Villa Retirement Center with greenery and baskets. We work one on one with residents who are interested in making holiday arrangements for their living spaces or gifts for others. Flowers are provided by the center and supplemented by our club. From time to time we may be called upon to spruce up a garden or space at one of the assisted living centers or senior center.

Student Scholarships

PAGC awards college scholarships to local students, usually from Port Angeles High School and/or Peninsula College. These students are generally majoring in a field related to our environment, conservation or horticulture and must qualify under strict standards set by the Scholar-ship Committee and endorsed by the membership. Student scholarships have sometimes totaled $5,000.

Member Scholarship for Continuing Education

In 2013 a program was established where a club member can apply to the Scholarship Committee for a grant up to $400 to attend a state sponsored conference or educational classes.

Food Bank

Annual food drives and member cash donations are contributed at Christmas time to the local food bank. In 2015 the Manager from the food bank spoke to the group regarding how the food is distributed and will give updates on the local goal to gather locally harvested food.

4th of July Parade

As recognition of our great country‘s independence and an opportunity to be visible to the community, a decorated parade vehicle with members distributing membership information participates in this annual event.
