Editorial
One of the pleasures of travel is looking at different landscapes. This past summer we drove along the Massachusettes Turnpike and were delighted by the miles of wildflowers and grasses along the highway instead of the usual mowed lawns '. Geraldine Weinstein, former director of holticulture for New York City and Central Park, has worked for the turnpike authority for two years and suggested the new approach. Although some of the maintenance crew were not receptive to her vision of road-side management, the result of the trial are so positive that her view now has many converts. Apparently many rare wildflower species have been found in the naturalized areas.
The October issue of Trellis included the article Garden Gold... compost by Anne Marie Van Nest. Unfortunately, lack of space prevented the inclusion of the reading list:
THE RODALE GUIDE TO COMPOSTING by J. Minnich, $18.00. Very comprehensive, all you need to know about the subject.
LET IT ROT by Stu Campbell, Revised Edition $11.95. Good explanation of how the process works
WORMS EAT MY GARBAGE by Mary Appelhof, $10.95. Humorous to read. great for apartment dwellers who want to compost indoors
ECOLOGICAL GARDENING by Marjorie Harris, $14.00. Canadian, enjoyable to read and quite informative.
Don't forget to visit Mistletoe Magic held on November 7.8.9. 1991.

THE EDWARDS GARDEN EVENING
GARDEN DESIGN WITH FOLIAGE
with Judy Glattstein
Tuesday, December 10th 7:30 pm
Judy Glattstein lives and gardens in southern Connecticut where she is a landscape consultant, garden writer and lecturer. Her lecture will show us how to design the home landscape around leaf colour and texture, rather than exclusively around flower colour and bloom time. Judy specializes in native plants, herbaceous design, naturalistic design, bulbs and specialty gardens. She lectures extensively throughout the United States. In addition, she has written Garden Design with Foliage. As a freelance writer, she has been published Flower and Garden , The Garden, Garden Design, Horticulture, and in The New York Times.
At the conclusion of the evening, Judy Glattstein will be available to sign her newest book, Garden Design with Foliage. The bcok is an intensive plant encyclopedia, illustrated by colour photos and drawings, and includes a wide sampling of plants best suited to this style of garden design.
Congratulations to
by Anne Marie Van Nest
One of the Civic Garden Centre s prominent members, Mrs. Audrey Meiklejohn has recently been honoured by Canada 's largest nursery with a rose in her name. Mrs. Meiklejohn selected the unnamed, vibrant, yellow rose last year from the rose growing fields. Audrey's rose is a hybrid tea with fragrant double blooms. It was on display, for the first time, last July at Sandoon Farm, White Rose s rose and container growing site in Uxbridge. During the two dey Rose Festival thousands of visitors viewed the Audrey Meiklejohn rose blooming profusely in the field beds. White Rose wili offer this new rose for sale next spring at all their nursery steres.
Audrey Meiklejohn is a very deserving recipient to have a rose named in her honour. She is currently the Canadian Rose Societies Honorary President and holds the positions of Past-President and Patron. Audrey is a Horticultural, Decorative and Rose Judge as well as an instructor at the Civic Garden Centre. A world traveller representing Canada at the World Federation of Rose Societies, Audrey is an exceptional ambassador for Canadian rose growers. She is always active in events of The Garden Club of Toronto, and has been a member since 1963. Audrey's enthusiasm for gardening is evident in her recently installed natural waterfall, garden pool, and scree bed of alpines. Anyone who has met Audrey Meiklejohn will be astounded to learn that she celebrated her 80th birthday this year. Audrey is living proof that gardening reverses the aging process.
Cecil Lamrock, President of the Canadian Rose Society describes Audrey's garden in
Audrey Meiklejohn
the Summer 91 issue of The Rosarian: This is a garden which potrays beauty all summer with its scaloped beds and interesing plant material well arranged throughout the garden. As you walk down the west side of the garden, you will see white Mountain, Dorothy Perkins, Excelsa, those lovely white and pink rambler roses overhanging the fence.
At the rear of the garden, the climbing Hydrangea gives a great effect to the horseshoe-shaped bed of hybrid teas and floribundas. Sexy Rex is in his prime at one end of the bed with Freude at the other. As you come back to the east side, Tommy Thompson floribundas look proud with Audrey's favourite rose Golden Wings in the background. Coming closer to the house, you can hear and see the natural waterfall flow into the reflecting pool which birds use by day and coons (sometimes) by night. Again climbing roses give a good background with lilies in front.
In case you think this garden (50 ft by 120 ft which was started 39 years ago) is complete, last year, Audrey added a scree bed with its alpines and she will continue new and interesting effects as time goes by.
The Audrey Meiklijohn rose is a testament to the talents of this wonderful lady. What better rose to choose than one picked by an accredited rose judge?
CONGRATULATICNS AUDREY!

In Praise of Orange Trees
by M. Eleanor Irwin
When we bought a Calamondin orange tree for our solarium just over three years ago, there was a tag attached assuring the purchaser that it was possible to make marmalade from the oranges. As the tiny green oranges of spring grew into golf-bal sized orange fruit by late fall, | thought of that tag and determined to put the claim to the test.
followed the Certo recipe. You may think it cowardly of me and say that a truly adventuresome person would have used an old-fashioned recipe without additives, but ever since | produced crab apple Turkish delight by tne old-fashioned method instead of the jelly | was wanting, | have been a great fan of Certo.
| substituted 20 of my small oranges for the 3 store-bought oranges and two lemons called for in the recipe. The skin of the Calamondins is delicate and makes a very fine shred when cut into thin strips. (There is no need to remove the white part .) For this stage of the operation, | enlisted the patient help of one of my sons while | prepared the pulp. If you make this marmalade, be warned that the oranges are extremely juicy and full of seeds. The bitter flavour, perfect for marmalade, is not so perfect for the unwary who lick the juice off sticky fingers.
We have made this marmalade as a Christmas holiday project for two years in a row and it has been enjoyed by the family and admired by overnight guests to whom we point out, in an off-hand way, the tree from which the wonderful orange spread comes.
The hard part for me is picking the oranges which are so very attractive and make a naturai Christmas tree with bright golden ornaments suspended among the shiny green leaves. Each year | leave on the smallest oranges, being unable to bring myself to strip the tree.
Our orange tree represents many things for me. It grows in eternal summer, and changes from blossom to fruit to blossom while retaining its leaves. It reminds me of my Classical connections and the golden apples, symbols of immortality, in the mythical garden of the Hesperides. It conjures up citrus trees which we glimpsed in walled courtyards of houses everywhere in Greece. And as the weather outside turns cool and the trees lose their leaves, bring out my last jar of marmalade and recapture summer.

Rhyme For Little Gardeners
by Janet Davis
The garden s a mystical, magical place, You can make believe there for hours. Just look at what grows, right under your nose.
It's a fun way to learn about flowers.
Witch hazel rides on her bright yellow broom.
Gazing down at the jungle she sees. There are fierce tigerlilies and brave dandelions, Snapdragons, foxgloves, monkey trees.
And more beasts she spies not so wild, rather tame:
Goatsbeard, horse chestnuts, lambs ears. Catmints and dogwoods are scratching likemad Fleabanes must be bad this year.
You can climb Jacob s ladder and fly a dame s rocket
To the moonflower past blazingstars. Or watch beebalms make honey on a butterfly bush And catch spiderflowers in jars.
Spearmints, sword plants, and sharp dagger ferns, Ancient weapons from the flowerbed. But are they strong enough to pierce the armor tough Of the teenage mutant turtiehead?
The burning bush burns and the smoke tree smokes (And where there's smoke there must be fireweed).
Thank goodness the waterlily s finally arrived And douses the flames with great speed.
Make friends with the flowers: with wee creeping Jenny, Johnny-jump-up, Sweet William so jolly, With rosemary, veronica, Jack-in-the-pulpit, Herb Robert, Jeo Pye weed, and holly.
Under pink ladyslippers and moccasin flowers, Is it right do you know, to wear socks? And do cardinal flowers and cranesbills fly singly, In pairs, or more often in phlox?
The garden, by and large, is a safe enough place, And a walk round should be rather easy, But grow buttercups, butternuts, or butterand-eggs, And the whole thing might be rather greasy.
Three cheers for the garden! Wave high the flag!
Blow the bugleweed and trumpet vine! For a garden s a place where the whole human race Would likely get on bloomin fine.

CATCH THE GARDENING SPIRIT
CITY GARDENING, COUNTRY STYLE
February 16, 1992
On Sunday, February 16th, 1992, Catch The Gardening Spirit focuses on the City Garden, Country Style. Four experienced gardeners offer comprehensive plans for incorporating a relaxed, informed style within the city landscape. The mixed border as a central design element will be an important focus of the programme. In addition, the speakers will explore choices in ornamental and specimen plants, lawn alternatives and woodland plantings for city gardens. This programme offers urban gardeners an opportunity to learn how to plan an informal and countrified landscape which is both functional and decorative throughout the four seasons.
10:00 - 11:00 PLANNING FOR
FOUR SEASONS
David Tomlinson is an award-winning Landscape Architect, lecturer and owner of Merlin s Hollow, one of Ontario s popular gardens. David s garden is an outstanding example of mixed border design and is open to the public at specific times during the year.
Learn how to develop a mixed border in an informal style by choosing shrubs and perennials that flow together without rigid definition. Consider colour, texture and form within the context of informal display, and plan sequences and interest throughout the four seasons. Create the unexpected by incorporating fruit, berries and vines in an engaging and surprising manner. Key plants, echoes or repeat plantings and colour schemes are techniques used to make a cohesive border. Maintaining the mixed border will be discussed including discussion on pruning versus natural form.
11:00 - 11:15 Coffee break
11:15 - 12:15 ORNAMENTAL

As Parkland Supervisor, he maintains the arboretum including the lilac and rhododendrom collections.
Bring interest to a subdued landscape by integrating small trees and decorative shrubs in a relaxed style by using ornamental plants to create additional interest. Consider the scale and function of highlight plants, the use of specimen plants for structural features and the winter value of ornamental evergreens. Explore the choice of dwarf varieties for controlled growth.
12:15 - 1:30 Lunch Break
The morning speakers will be available during the lunch period for guestions.
1:30 - 2:30

Designing with lawn alternatives, creating shape and form on the ground, defining areas and boundaries will provide direction on how the garden is viewed. Techniques for establishing lawn alternatives will be explored as will the maintenance of these plants and the use of temporary mulch to suppress weeds. Selective uses of stone, brick and wood will be examined.
2:30 - 2:45 Coffee break
2:45 - 3:45 WOODLAND
