Greetings Fellow Gardeners
I’d like to thank all who helped to organize an
excellent 2012 convention in Selkirk. Kudos to
the Selkirk and District Horticultural Society
and the South Interlake Garden Club for
providing excellent facilities, great meals and
attractive decorations. Thanks to Allison Day
and the program committee for putting
together an excellent roster of speakers and a
really big thank you to Dorcas and Roger for
keeping it all together.
A highlight of this year’s convention was the
presentation of an Honorary Life Membership
to Carol Clegg. Congratulations Carol! We
hope we’ll continue to see you at conventions
for many years and that you’ll continue to coedit
the newsletter.
Our thanks to retiring directors Art Brose and
Allison Day for their efforts and ideas and
welcome to Linda Kavalench as the new
director for area 6. We’re currently looking
for a director for area 7 to replace Allison.
We hope you all got home safely and are
planning activities for spring and summer.
Congratulations!

Manitoba Horticultural Association
2011 MHA Annual Convention
Victorian Garden Party
On Thursday January 26, 2012,
President Hugh Skinner called the
112th annual meeting of the
Manitoba Horticultural Association
to order. Leila Wegert, host
committee chair, extended a warm
welcome to delegates from the host
clubs, Selkirk and South Interlake,
and wished everyone a good time at
their Victorian Garden Party.
Guest speaker for the evening was
Shirley Froehlich, owner of Prairie
Originals Native Plant Nursery at
East Selkirk. She began with the
observation that urbanization is
causing massive habitat destruction,
with an accompanying decline in our
native fauna. Despite very
depressing statistics on species
extinction, Shirley's message was
positive. She showed how the
individual gardener could arrest this
process by switching a small section
of the manicured lawn or bed to
plantings of native species to
provide food and shelter for a
myriad of creatures. Considering
the dozens of beautiful "prairie
originals" available for purchase,
this is really no sacrifice. As usual,
Shirley was accompanied by some
creative creepy crawlies to
illustrate her message.
Next was a slide show, prepared and
narrated by Tena Kilmury, of the
prize winning photos from the MHA
print competition. To conclude the
evening, guests at the garden party
nibbled on fancy sandwiches and
slices and sipped tea from china
cups.
Friday's session commenced with an
invocation by Archdeacon Godfrey
Mawejje. Councillor Darlene
Swiderski and Deputy Mayor
Patricia Corbin extended greetings
to the group from the City of
Selkirk and the Town of Stonewall.
The business session which followed
dealt with the MHA financial
statement, 2012 budget, and Ways
and Means Committee Report.
After some discussion on ideas for
fund raising, there was general
agreement to increase the price of
the pull tickets and to reprint the
Millennium Cookbook. Other
business conducted during the
conference included the remaining
MHA committee reports, and
election of the new Board of
Directors.
Gwen Beam of Brandon Garden Club
led off the information program by
demonstrating how to create a
"Living Picture". She used an old
wooden window with a backing, filled
with soilless mix, and covered with
chicken wire. Her plant of choice
was the succulent - very trendy -
and able to thrive on drought and
neglect. Gwen encouraged everyone
to purchase or scrounge succulents
with different colours, shapes, and
textures to plant a picture in the
Living Picture. What a great idea
for a club's spring workshop!
In keeping with the Victorian
theme, Jennifer Bisch and Barbara
McEwen were invited to tell the
group about the Victorian garden
being developed to enhance the
Queen Anne style mansion,
Dalnavert. Jennifer gave a brief
history of the house which was once
the Winnipeg home of Hugh John
MacDonald, son of Canada's first
Prime Minister. Barbara then talked
about the research to find plants
that were grown in Winnipeg in the
late nineteenth century and showed
some photos of the garden
restoration. Their presentation was
certainly an incentive to visit
another of our unique heritage
homes.
Lyndon Penner, CBC Radio Gardening
columnist from Calgary, burst onto
the scene Friday afternoon with a
youthful perspective on the art of
container gardening. The laughter
began with his "hoick out the
dracena" and continued throughout
the hour. He emphasized that it is
imperative to have a theme and to
pay attention to colour, balance, and
scale in order to design a "snooty"
container. When it comes to plant
selection - throw out the rules!
Think of perennials, tropicals,
shrubs, and interesting foliage
instead of the traditional flowering
plants.
After learning about outdoor
containers, it was time to think of
floral adornments for the interior
of the house. Brent Hunter owner
of Beyond the Garden Gate in
Neepawa demonstrated several
designs, from simple to elaborate,
that might have been seen in homes
of the Victorian era. His first
design showed the use of greenery
to support a large arrangement.
Although it is not so easy to find
Victorian flowers in mid winter from

Manitoba Horticultural Association
Page 3 of 8
a florist supplier, Brent found bells
of Ireland, lilies, roses, daisies,
mums, boxwood, and ferns, all of
which would have been used in those
times. Flower arrangers may be
interested in one of his favourites -
Bupleurum - green small flowers
which can be sown directly into the
home garden, will readily self seed,
and can be obtained from William
Dam or Stokes. True to form, Brent
was dressed for the occasion in
period costume.
The Victorian theme certainly
revived the Friday afternoon
costume contest. The "hat couture"
was fantastic. Dresses ran the
gamut from practical calico to
sophisticated day wear, to the most
lavish of evening gowns.
Congratulations to the winners!
Thanks to judges Lyndon, Lew and
Tammy.
Lew and Tammy Wallace, proprietors
of Honker Flats Designer Glads, are
long time exhibitors at the Winnipeg
Gladiolus and Dahlia Show. They
grow several acres of gladiolus on
their farm in northern Minnesota.
Lew's presentation explained the
system for glad classification and
gave lots of information on planting,
care, harvesting, and storage. What
really wowed the audience were the
shots of the Wallace's fabulous
arrangements of glads created for
shows, weddings, and events across
the country. What a convincing way
to prove Lew's claim that the glad is
the "Queen of Flowers". The
audience appreciated seeing more of
those gorgeous glads and
arrangements in their photographic
display.
Ladies and gentlemen showed up for
the banquet in their 19th century
finery. Tables centred with lovely
dried flower arrangements, lace
doilies, and china cups set the scene
for an elegant evening in the
Victorian garden. MHA Directors
were piped to the head table by
Craig MacAulay. President Hugh
Skinner introduced the new board.
Retiring Director Art Brose was
presented with a most appropriate
memento of his 5 years on the
board - a custom designed
fishing/garden hat, ideal attire for
Art’s many fishing trips. Carol
Clegg of Agassiz Garden Club
received the MHA life membership.
Following a smorg dinner guests
were entertained by Old Thyme
Friends. Then auctioneer Charlie
Barnhart took the floor and the
Great Gardener's Auction was
under way. There was garden stuff
galore for sale and the bidding was
brisk. Many thanks to the clubs for
their generous donations, to all the
buyers, and to our auctioneer for a
great job of selling.
With Duayne Friesen away on
business, the Saturday morning
garden queries were answered by
our own panel of experts with some
assistance from audience members.
There is never a shortage of
gardening questions and someone
always has an answer.
Next on the program was Hugh
Skinner, MHA President, owner of
Skinner's Nursery and co-author of
another gardening book with Sara
Williams of Saskatoon. The
philosophy of their book, Gardening
Naturally, was the subject of his
talk. Hugh began with a very
serious statement: "If we are
killing the insects, we are killing
ourselves". Then he lightened the
tone considerably by leading a sing
along to Williams/Skinner
compositions on the joys and
challenges of gardening. Instead of
reaching for the spray bottle, he
pointed out that there are numerous
and safer ways to deal with the
challenges of pests and disease in
our gardens. Start with healthy
plants, use resistant varieties,
mulch, compost, use barriers and
beneficial parasites, and prune out
infected material.
Fran Wershler and Sandy Venton of
the Manitoba Regional Lily Society
gave a preview/promo of the North
American Lily Society Annual
Conference and Show taking place
July 11 to 15 at the Canad Inns, Polo
Park, Winnipeg. No doubt many
clubs will be including this event on
their summer schedule. For full
conference information go to
www.manitobalilies.ca
Lyndon Penner made a second
appearance on Saturday and his
advice was just as blunt. His topic
was Colour in the Garden. He noted
that the purpose of the garden
would dictate the colour scheme.
Different colours should be
considered for different seasons.
Orange is awful, but pumpkins in
autumn are awesome. Different
colours appeal to different
personalities. He stressed that
planning is a must to achieve a
pleasing garden. His one garden
concession – a bad garden is better
than no garden at all!
Miles Duncan of St. Mary's Nursery
in Winnipeg was the perfect follow
up for Lyndon's exhortation to try
new and exciting plants. Miles'
visual presentation went through
the new annuals, perennials, shrubs,

Page 4 of 8
Manitoba Horticultural Association
and trees to look for at garden centres
this spring. Here are a few examples.
Dragone Champagne begonia likes the
sun and is not too palatable to deer.
For hosta lovers, Stiletto is a small
variety with narrow crinkled leaves.
Some new stonecrops are Razzleberry
and Summer Glow (think Living
Picture). Gladiator flowering crab was
highly recommended for its narrow
upright form and dark foliage. Dwarf
hydrangea Little Lamb will grow in a
sunny location. For a super fall
coloured shrub, grow Birch Leaf
Spirea.
Our final presenter was Amanda
Botincan who operates Mandy's
Greenhouse in Garson, specializing in
heritage vegetables and alpine flowers.
When viewing Mandy's photos of alpine
plants growing in their natural setting,
it is very easy to understand why soil is
the key to developing an alpine garden.
These plants grow on gravel slopes, not
in prairie loam or Red River gumbo.
One must try to duplicate their natural
growing conditions in order for them to
survive. They grow in severe
conditions, hence alpines can tolerate
prairie winters. Because they are
miniature, one can enjoy quite a number
of these stunning beauties in a small
garden.
Ways and Means chair, Brent Hunter,
was very pleased to report that most
of the pull tickets were sold this year.
He thanked all the members who sold
tickets. The draw was made January
28, 2012 at the MHA Annual
Convention. Congratulations to the
winners!
Once again the MHA Company Store
offered an assortment of items to
appeal to gardeners - garden gloves,
hats, row markers, greeting cards,
lilies and gladiolus bulbs, canna roots,
succulents, books, and catalogues.
There was a great selection at our
Seed Table, thanks to all the members
who contributed saved seeds. Once
again the used magazine table was
piled high and everyone went home
with reading material for the rest of
the winter.
The host societies did a great job of
soliciting donations for the silent
auction. Their effort is much
appreciated as are the donations from
citizens and businesses in Selkirk and
Stonewall and surrounding areas.
The convention wrapped up with thanks
expressed to the organizers, workers,
and participants. A bouquet was
presented to retiring Director Allison
Day in recognition of her contribution
to the MHA. The Victorian Garden
Party was a smash hit. We look
forward to next year's gathering
hosted by the Brandon Garden Club.

Gardeners’ Corner
Rules of Thumb for Pruning Flowering Shrubs
Kerry Meyer, Proven Winners Co.
Pruning is a source of confusion and
worry to many gardeners. How and
when to prune are two of the most
common questions asked of
gardening experts. Luckily a few
wimple guidelines provide good
advice for growing most types of
flowering shrubs.
Rule of Thumb Number One:
Don’t Prune
Many gardeners labour under the
belief that they must prune
regularly to keep their shrubs in
good condition. Not true. Most
shrubs need only one significant
pruning session a year and many
don’t even need that. Pruning
common shrubs like lilacs, forsythia
and burning bush into tight mounds
is not only unnecessary but isn’t
that great for plants, either. Many
flowering shrubs will look their best
when allowed to grow in their
natural form or habit. Frequent
shearing encourages lots of surface
branching, possibly resulting in an
unhealthy structure and reduced
flowering. If you really want a
tightly sheared look in your garden,
choose a plant that is suited to it.
Rule of Thumb Number Two:
Prune Spring Flowering Shrubs
After Flowering
Plants that bloom in early spring
usually produce their flower buds
the year before. The buds overwinter
on the previous year’s growth
and open in spring. If you prune
these spring bloomers in fall or
winter you’ll remove the flower buds
and won’t have flowers that year.
The plants will be okay, but you’ll
miss a year of blooms. Most of
these plants don’t need heavy
pruning every year, just some
selective thinning of branches to
give them a nice shape.
Rule of Thumb Number Three:
Prune Summer Flowering Shrubs
In Late Winter or Early Spring
Many summer flowering shrubs
bloom on the current year’s growth.
Pruning them back in later winter
encourages them to produce lots of
new growth that summer and will
result in more flowers. Don’t be
afraid to cut fast growing plants.
The exception to the rule is
Hydrangeas. See Rule Number
Four for more on that.
Rule of Thumb Number Four:
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas alone account for at
least half the pruning questions in
gardening advice forums. Some
bloom on ‘old wood’ (Rule Number
Three.) You’ll need to identify
what kind of hydrangea you have
and follow the appropriate rule.
Hydrangea paniculata, which have
white, conical flowers, and
Hydrangea arborescens, such as
‘Annabelle’, bloom on new wood.
They’ll produce better flowers if
cut back in late winter.
Rule of Thumb Number Five:
It’s OK to Trim Anytime, Really
Gardeners are often confronted
with stray shoots and branches in
late summer and worry about
removing them. Go ahead and cut
them back. The plant won’t be
damaged by removing
a branch or two.
In summary, relax. Your landscape
plants don’t need as much pruning as
you may think. If you’d rather go to
the beach than shear back your
landscape plants, go right ahead.
The only potentially tricky part of
pruning is determining when to trim
a particular plant.
For a quick review, prune summer
bloomers in late winter and spring
bloomers right after flowering –
just check the hydrangea rule
before you trim them. Stray or
broken branches can be trimmed
back any time. If you do make a
mistake, plants are very forgiving.
You may miss a season of flowers
but the plant will recover for the
next year.
“Every gardener knows that under
the cloak of winter lies a miracle... a
seed waiting to sprout, a bulb
opening to the light, a bud straining
to unfurl. And the anticipation
nurtures our dream.”
Barbara Winkler
