Dear Friends,
As of this writing, Birmingham has had abundant
rainfall for 2009. All vestiges of the prior years’
droughts are gone and we’re very lush. While
heavy rains bring their own suite of problems
such as path erosion, fungal disease increases, and
work delays, most of our plants deal with these
conditions better than the other extreme. Soil
moisture is deep now, meaning our typically spotty
summer rains will be more effective. Ample rain
should also give our local potable water supply a
break, as fewer people ought to be irrigating their
gardens and lawns.
The Gardens’ new master plan, which will be ready
for unveiling this fall, weaves together themes
of water conservation, stormwater management,
rainwater harvesting and collections development.
Precipitation here is extremely variable, as the past
10 years have pointedly illustrated, and we must
take steps to help ourselves through the lean times
by managing water wisely when things are flush (no
pun intended).
Along with expanding numbers of droughttolerant
species, our best collections development
opportunities are increasing our focus on
southeastern native plants, specifically those from
Alabama. Why? We need to brag a little about our
rich floral diversity (9th highest in the nation) and
The Gardens needs to do more to promote it. Plus,
over the millennia, our native plants have evolved
to deal with unpredictable rain, debilitating drought,
extreme heat and humidity, and the occasional cold
snap. There are many lessons to learn from how
(and where) plants live in the wild and how they
can be incorporated into
the built environment,
improving the places
where people live, work
and play. We can help
teach those lessons.
See you in The Gardens,
Fred Spicer

Garden
Explorations –
Another Successful
Year
If you visited The Gardens during the week of June
15, you would have noticed hundreds of children
participating in activities (see cover photograph).
These are some of the many education programs at
The Gardens.
The Garden Explorations program is designed for
elementary school children ages 6-12 enrolled in the
City of Birmingham’s Park & Recreation Centers'
summer activities.
During the week-long period, each child learns the
basics of ecology and plant science including plantanimal
interdependency, plant structure, and growth
and pollination. They learn through hands-on
experiences, such as propagating their own plants to
take home to grow and nurture.
For most participants, it is their first visit to The
Gardens. Garden Explorations is a free program
funded by the Hess Foundation. Over 300 students
participated this year and more than 2,000 since the
program’s beginning.
If you are interested in learning more about the
Gardens Explorations program or other education
programs at The Gardens, contact 205.414.3958.

De ve l o p m e n t
Dear Friends:
In 1810, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) wrote to a friend,
“We are all doubtless bound to contribute a certain portion
of our income to the support of charitable and other useful
public institutions.” To Jefferson, it was not a question
of whether he should contribute, but rather how best to do
it. Besieged by a “multitude of applications… from every
quarter of the Union on behalf of academies, churches,
missions, hospitals [and] charitable establishments,” he reasoned
that it was best to donate “to the institutions within
our own reach, under our own eye.” *
We at Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens realize
that you, like Jefferson, have received many requests from
worthy causes. We want to thank you for choosing to support
The Gardens in these challenging economic times.
Whether you are a regular customer at the Spring and Fall
Plant Sales, a sponsor or committee member for the upcoming
Antiques at The Gardens, or a new or renewing
member, we welcome your investment in us and, thus, in
our community.
We invite you to visit The Gardens this summer to see
your gifts at work. Follow the children from the Birmingham
Park and Recreation Board program on their Garden
Explorations. Meet our Rotary intern, Steve Kennedy, or
talk with Curator of the Kaul Wildflower Garden, Patrick
Daniel. Watch Horticultural Therapist Susan Grimes teach
visitors from Children’s Hospital to pot plants. Seek advice
from the Herb Army, other plant society members, our
gardening staff or our library. We want to show you that
we are using your funds wisely to make a positive impact
on the citizens of Birmingham and Alabama.
Thank you again for supporting Birmingham Botanical
Gardens, a local “charitable establishment” which belongs
to all of us and, as Jefferson recommended, is within reach
and under your watchful eye.
Olivia Alison, Director of Development

Birmingham Botanical Gardens' annual Spring Plant Sale was the most successful of
all time. Here are some of highlights:
• More than $265,000 raised;
• Nearly 7,400 attended;
• More than 85,000 plants sold.
Spring Plant Sale proceeds benefit Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens' education
programs and activities. Some of these programs include Discovery Field
Trips, Children's Summer Workshops, Adult & Family Classes and Horticultural
Therapy. Last year more than 10,000 school children were able to take advantage of
free Discovery Field Trips to learn about science and nature. A special thank you
goes out to all of our Spring Plant Sale volunteers!

Lenore Durlacher
Carolyn Snow, Volunteer Coordinator
Now and then you meet people who just stand out in a crowd.
Lenore is one of those people—a life-long learner with loads of
personality and multiple interests, abilities, and talents. She hasan
affinity for painting and has taught the adult painting classes “One
Stroke Note Cards” and “The Japanese Gates” at Birmingham
Botanical Gardens. Her hand-painted ornaments adorned the
White House Christmas tree during Bill Clinton’s and
George Bush’s presidencies and also decorated the Library of
Congress Christmas tree.
Lenore lived in New Jersey until she was 35 years old. Then
she lived in Louisiana, later in Carmel, California, and finally, in
Birmingham, Alabama. Wildlife from Double Oak Mountain
frequently visits her wooded back yard in Eagle Point. She wanted
to keep it natural, so she set out to learn which plants to plant,
preserve or discard. In 1999, she began volunteering in the The
Gardens’ library, in the wildflower garden, and in the rose garden.
She discovered that wild blueberries and red bud trees were
growing on her property. She had never seen a red bud tree before
she moved to Alabama. With the help of her two dogs, she began
to “evergreen” her wooded property with “random” plantings.
Wherever the dogs dug holes, she planted evergreen trees.
Lenore is also a mother
and grandmother. Her
son is an attorney with
Burr & Forman in Atlanta
and she has a grandson
and granddaughter
ages seven and five.
Lenore is a member of
the Alabama Guild of
Decorative Artists. She
began volunteering as a
substitute, but became a
regular library volunteer
about three years ago.
You will find her in the
library from 9- 1p.m. every
Wednesday.

volunteering, please call Carolyn Snow, Volunteer Coordinator at

Easy Gardens

Hope Long, Director of Library
by Harvey Cotton,

All I can say is WOW; this
is my new favorite book. It
has everything a southern
gardener could possibly want
from a book including color
pictures and easy to read and
understand information. It
has something for all levels of
gardener, from the beginner
to the expert. I found the
information on each particular plant to be thorough
and informative with each heading having very detailed
information, characteristics, growing conditions,
planting and maintenance. They have also gone so far
as to include a key of symbols for each plant to let you
know if it; attracts butterflies, attracts hummingbirds,
attracts birds, is a southern native, lives on rainwater, is
deer resistant. I just cannot think of anything they left
out. Being a librarian, who has easy access to gardening
books, I don’t normally buy books but I must own this
book to keep at home as a reference. I think you will be
just as thrilled with this book as I am, so please come by
the library and check it out.

In January 2009 The Gardens’ Education Department began the
Southern Institute of Photography, a new collaborative venture
between The Gardens and some of Birmingham’s finest photographers.
Students chose between 15 different types of photography
classes ranging from Basic to Infrared to Digital Printing. The students
attended a six week-long class where they learned all about
their particular subject. This show provides an opportunity for the
students to show what they learned during their time in class.

Good Things Growing…
In The Gardens
Fred Spicer, Executive Director
Gardening Tips
for July and August
Courtesy of
This column focuses on hardy woody and herbaceous
perennial plants with good ornamental
interest (typically flowers) during July and August.
Late summer is by far the toughest assignment because
of the relative paucity of blooms on anything
but annuals. However, a hosta your grandmother
knew as August lily is an August gem; botanically,
it’s Hosta plantaginea. Plantain-leaf hosta is another
common name.
The unusual bloom time is not the only big difference
between this and other hostas. First, the flowers
are huge, up to 6” long on the species, the largest
of any hosta. Second, they’re also fragrant, the
only such species. Third, they open in late afternoon
and remain so through the night; other hostas open
in the morning and close at dusk. Fourth, they hail from southern China; most hosta species
hail from Japan and Korea.
‘Royal Standard’ (above, from the McReynold’s Garden), is
the most popular H. plantaginea cultivar. It boasts the same
green leaves and heat-loving, large-growing constitution as
the species (which is not widely available), but with smaller,
3-4” long, abundant, fragrant flowers (right). The doubleflowered
cultivar ‘Aphrodite’ is beautiful but slow growing.
I grew it without trouble in New Jersey, but according to
Plant Delights Nursery, it is difficult to grow in the south as
it demands cooler nights for successful flowering. ‘Venus’ is
a new double-double form; my research did not uncover any
information on southern adaptability.
Being the only fragrant hosta species, H. plantaginea
has been crucial for introducing that trait into
hybrids. A few worth mentioning are (in no order)
‘Honeybells’, ‘Fragrant Bouquet’ (creamy-variegated),
‘Diana Remembered’ (white variegated) and
‘Guacamole’ (left). See a complete fragrant list at
http://www.plantdelights.com/Tony/fraghosta.html.
The cultivar ‘Grandiflora’ (also listed as var. grandiflora),
with smaller flowers than the species, is now
known as Hosta plantiginea var. japonica, and is similar
to ‘Royal Standard’. BBG’s largest hosta display is
along the Hosta Walk, above the Ireland Iris Garden.

High Dynamic Range and
Panoramic Photography
Instructor: Jeff Chambless
July 7 – July 28 (4 Tuesdays)
from 6 – 8 p.m. | $110
Stretch the limits of your creativity
by creating HDR (high dynamic
range) pictures to capture absolutely
every detail of your subject, and to
create extraordinarily wide-angle
panoramic images. You will learn
how to expose the original in-camera
data, and then how to manipulate the
original images in post-processing to
produce HDR or super-wide results.
These are amazing effects, and you
should expect to produce photos
worth hanging in a place of honor!
Digital Printing – 1
Instructor: Abbie Wiersma
July 7 –August 11 (6 Tuesdays)
from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. | $150
With advances in technology, there’s every reason
to start printing you own photos at home. Newer
inkjet printers, inks and papers produce prints
that will last 100 years or more. You’ll learn how
to calibrate your monitor and how to set up and
transmit precise color profiles so your prints look
the way they look on your screen. The class will
include classroom lectures and demonstrations, as
well as assignments you will complete on your own
printer. Learn the techniques needed to create the
best possible images -- from scanning the negative
or preparing the digital file, the selection of papers
to the actual printing on an inkjet printer. You will
complete the class by printing a fine art print of
one of your own original images.

Wedding and Bridal Photography
Instructor: Ashley Warren
July 18-19
(Special Weekend Workshop Event!)
Saturday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and
Sunday from 2 – 5 p.m. | $150
Are you ready to take the plunge
into wedding photography? We
will discuss the tools and skills you
need to get started. You will learn
about equipment, workflow, posing,
lighting and the business side of the
wedding photo world. Day one of
the workshop will be an informative
lecture. Day two will be chance to
show your skills behind the camera
shooting a real couple. You will need
a DSLR and a flash.
