Summertime and the livin is easy ... For gardeners, the songwriter s words are prophetic. The early spring frenzy is over thebedsaredug, theannualsarein, and thevegetable seeds havesprouted. Those lazy, hazy days of another songwriter provide a great opportunity to enjoy the results of the effort, to add water and wait while the garden undergoes its transformation.
However, if you're looking for a more active approach to summer, think of the Civic Garden Centre. Included with this issue ofTrellisis a selectionofnewcourses offered through the summer season. Our coverhighlightstwoeveningevents,onein July, the other in September. Four times a week Centre volunteers lead highly informativetoursofEdwardsGardens a wonderfulwaytobecomebetteracquainted withthisgeminourmidst. Forthechildren, Kidsummer and Green Thumb Days both interpret nature in an exciting and educational way.
Ofcourse, if your idea of summer activity is swinging in a hammock with a good book, look to the library for great books about gardens, plantsor how to deal with the produce!
As for me, I'll be deep in contemplation. The mailman brought a postcard from AmeriFlorawhichcontainedenoughseeds to cover 100 square feet with flowers. So, I'll be deciding on my autumn project where to dig up the grass for my new American perennial garden.

Spring sale season a success
What a successful season of plant sales pansies and Easter plants in April; perennials, hanging baskets and the big annual sale in May.

A crucial part ofour success is the workof dedicated, experienced volunteers, who offer invaluable help. An extra special thank you goes to all these people.
Over 125 volunteers helped with the three Maysales. Longbefore the plants arrived, volunteers were busy choosing which plants to sell, adding up members' preorders,makingsignsanddeliveringflyers.
On the setup day, energetic volunteers unloaded plants from the nursery and organized theplants.

550 Home Landscaping Ideas
By Catriona T. Erler and Derek Fell.
191 pages, Simon and Shuster, 1991 $ 38.95
Unique isnotawordtobelightlythrown around in these days of proliferation of books about landscaping. However, with 550HomeLandscapingIdeas, thedescription is justified.
Self-proclaimed as themostpracticaland comprehensive visual sourcebook of landscaping ideas , this work fulfills its promises. In glorious color, too, with severalphotographsbyDerekFellonmost pages.
Do you have favorite plants? You will learnnewand unusualuses forthem. You will also learn old and usual uses, so that you can take your choice.
Is it possible to have a landscaped garden in all four seasons? Apparently so, with fourpagesofphotographstoexplainaway winter. Practically all of these have snow or ice in them, so we are talking about real winter.
Seasonal Gardens is one of the book s sevenchapters. TheothersareInternational Gardens, Regional Gardens, Plant Theme Gardens,GardenAccents,GardenHabitats, and Color Theme Gardens. The whole is rounded out with a comprehensive index.
Garden Accents are universal, with
everything from small containers to decks and balconies. Nor is this impractical planning. Weareshownhowtohidetrash cans,howtousethewallsoftoolshedsand, indeed,howtomakeatoolshedlook more like a guest house than a storage room . And there is the photograph to prove it! Even better for this area, one illustration shows how a greenhouse can be an extension of the house, sharing the latter s heat.
Many ofthese ideas canbe copied exactly. Others, such as the greenhouse extension, may need someresearchfromotherbooks on our shelves but you will knowwhat you are looking for!
In fact, you don t really need an existing garden to profit from this book. With it, you can design from scratch. Or you can improve what is there already. It is not assumed that the reader is wealthy, either in land or money.
TheauthorshavetakenH.E. Bates dictum to heart, that a garden that is finished is dead . They assume thathaving a garden is an ongoing process, even if some of the process is creating illusions. If you are responsible foryourown process,youcan work from this book. If you are working withaprofessional,well,youcanshowher or him the pictures of what you want.
Asis said all too often,buttrue in thiscase, this is destined to be a standard work. A classic, even ...

In the Community of Nations area, 22 countries have built gardens and cultural exhibitsrepresentingtheirlands. Thisarea, to me, resembles Disney s Epcot Centre in Florida. In a nice touch, all of the Community of Nations exhibitors have native representatives in their gardens.
The exhibit presented by the Moscow Botanic Garden, the first ever in America, features three 18-foot topiary replicas of the Cathedral of St. Basil domes. The Japanese Garden is a tranquil area surroundingalakeandopen-airrestaurant. Canada s entry, sponsored by the Niagara Parks Commission, features a smaller version of the floral clock, and a sampling ofthe floralbeds seen in Niagara Falls. An information booth encourages visitors to Canada.
OneofmyfavoriteCommunity ofNations gardens was Australia s. The unusual plants were fascinating and well-labelled unfortunately rare among the exhibits. Also, there was a Victorian-style colonial
house from which Australian products could be purchased.
America s Backyard is an outdoor display of25completebackyardsfullofgreatideas for any gardener.

Have you visited a splendid public garden? Do you have a favorite spot which appeals to the gardener in you?
Other C.G.C. members would likely be interested to learn about your special place. Submissions to Gardening getaways are welcome. We would ask that the places named be open to the public on a reasonably frequent basis; please include directions and your spot's phone number. Also, be sure to include your name and phone number so the editor can check questions with you.
Otherattractions include a half-acre maze garden; a rose garden created by the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens which has over3,000plantsofthefinestOldandNew World varieties; a half-acre living quilt aflamewithcolorfulannuals,presentedby theColumbus AIDSTaskForce; and, from the PBS television program, The Victory Garden, a garden that showcases new gardening techniques, where presenters will film future show segments.

The Smithsonian Institution has created an interactive exhibit called Seeds of Change. This focuses on the biological, ecological and cultural exchanges that have taken place in the 500 years since Christopher Columbus made his voyage.

Specialist gardens offer fascinating way to check out favorites
By Sonia Day
Most gardeners develop passions for particularplantsorflowers. Andwhenthe bug hits, the urgeisusually to accumulate as many variations on the love object as possible.
If this has happened to you, consider takinga triptoBritain andcheckingout some of the fascinating specialist gardens intheNationalPlantCollectionsDirectory.
Theconservation-minded Britsstarted the N.P.C.(withPrinceCharlesastheirpatron) (continued over)
(Specialistgardens continued) in an attempt to stop traditional garden plants from dying out. Gardeners, both amateurand professional,wereinvited to concentrate on growing certain species and cultivars. Hundreds took up the challenge and,now,theircolorfulefforts canbe viewed by the public.
Thedirectorylists560gardens. Somewere created by horticulturists. But many are simply the delightful outcome of a home gardener s obsession with a particular plant.
For example:
o Love lavender? Then head to Heacham, Norfolk, where Noel Mellish and Henry Head have 55 species on display June through September at their Norfolk Lavender Ltd.
o Nutty for kniphofia? Mr. A.H. GoddardofBartonManor,Whippingham, IsleofWight, hasacquired anastonishing 103speciesandcultivarsofredhotpokers. He opened his garden to visitors this year

Questions and answers with the Master Gardeners
0. I have some roses growing near my vegetable garden, butthey have developedblack spot. Ibought a fungicide (Funginex) to use, but will it harm the vegetables? I have tomatoes, carrots and beans.
A. Yes, Funginex will affect your vegetables. You could cover them with plastic before spraying and then water them with an overhead spray immediately after taking the plastic off. Also, you could use an organic controlfor the blackspot,suchasgardensulphuroryour Black spot on roses could interplant your roses with garlic, which is a natural fungicide.

Dianthus plant of the month
ByAnna Leggatt
Dianthus Mrs. Sinkins is one of my favoritepinks. Likemostofthisgroup,itis low-growing, sprawly, with bluish-green narrowpointedleaves. Theflowerisdouble with somewhat blowzy white petals, looking a little ragged. The petals are so numerousthatthegrey-greencalyxwhich enclosesthebaseofthepetalsisoftensplit. The scent is fantastic, sweet and spicy, giving rise to the name clove pink . Anotheroldname,whichpinkssharewith wallflowers, is gillyflower, which also means clove-scented. I remember seeing large plants, a metre across in memory, sprawling at the edge ofJuneborders and filling the air with fragrance in my greataunt s Victoria garden.
Named pinks are cultivars of Dianthus plumulariusandD.caryophyllus. TheRandom House Book ofPerennials by Roger Phillips and MartynRix lists over 60 pinks. They range from deep red through peach and pink tones to ivory and white and occasionallyyellow. Theycanbetwo-toned with (usually) a darker eye and/or with darker picotee to the petals. Some are spotted. The petals may have frilly edges and they can be single or double. All are fragrant, some more than others. My mother s favorite is Charles Musgrave single white with a green eye.
Mrs.Sinkins wasfirstintroducedin1868. Othersareolderthecrusadersaresaidto havebroughtsometoFrancetohelpreduce fevers (Grandmother s Secrets by Jean Plaiseul). New cultivars are still being introduced. The dried flowers make good additions to potpourri.
