ANDREW ZUCKERMAN A MESSAGE FROM THE EXTERIOR October 11 – November 2 Slide Lecture/Opening Reception: Thursday October 11, 7:00 p.m., College Lounge, Vanderlyn Hall Visiting Artist Andrew Zuckerman is an award winning photographer, filmmaker, and curator. Much of his work is concerned with the intersection of nature and technology. His immersive investigation of the natural world has produced multiple books and exhibitions collected in three volumes: CREATURE (2007), BIRD (2009), and FLOWER (2012). Zuckerman’s ongoing portrait practice utilizes both photography and filmed interview formats to examine human perspectives. With the support of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he released WISDOM in 2008 as a book, a feature length documentary film, and a global traveling exhibition. For this exhibition, Andrew will show a selection of works from his series ‘A Message from the Exterior,’ an installation of photographic works from his continued investigation of the human relationship to the natural world. Through a systematic and objective approach to live subjects, presented in extreme resolution and clarity, his intention is to celebrate these subjects in a way that makes them feel new and somehow undiscovered.

Thousands expected to celebrate the stinking rose in all its splendor in Saugerties this weekend
T
he Hudson Valley Garlic Festival will return to Cantine Field in Saugerties this Saturday, September 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The popular event has been presented by the Kiwanis Club of Saugerties since 1992, but this will be the first Garlic Festival to take place since its founder, Pat Reppert, known as “The Goddess of Garlic,” passed away in February at age 81. The roots of the Garlic Festival go back to 1989, when Reppert was running a small antiques and gift shop at Shale Hill Farm in Saugerties, where she lived with her husband, Dr. Edmund “Rep” Reppert. Always eager to share her knowledge and known for having the knack of inspiring others, Pat organized a small garlic-themed festival that year, with the intention of educating people about the wonders of garlic and promoting New York-grown bulbs along with her fledgling

Hardneck varieties are the source of garlic scapes, those curling extensions of the stalk that appear about a month after the first leaves in the growing season. They’re often cut off the plant and tossed, because they’ll divert the plant’s growing strength away from the bulb, but the scapes are edible, with a delicate flavor. They can be used like green onions as an ingredient in cooking or chopped in a salad. Experts say to look for plump and firm bulbs covered with plenty of papery sheath.

The following year, more than 425 garlic-lovers showed up in Reppert’s herb gardens for festival number two, quadrupling the inaugural year’s attendance and stretching the small farm to its limits. By year three, in 1991, tickets were pre-sold as a form of crowd control and Reppert fielded more than 1,500 phone calls from people seeking admission. At that point, she knew “this garlic thing,” as she referred to it, had grown too big for her to handle. Reppert turned it over to the Kiwanis Club of Saugerties, who
held their first Garlic Festival at Cantine Field in 1992. Despite considerable rain, 5,000 people attended, with 13,000 arriving the following year. By 1994, the event was a two-day festival drawing more than 30,000 visitors, and these days routinely attracts some 45,000 attendees. The highest weekend attendance recorded was 53,000. Garlic-based products likely to be available at this year’s event include salsa, hummus, pasta sauce, sausage, pickles, olives, cheese and even chutney, as well as garlic caramels, fudge and ice cream. The Garlic Marketplace will have an abundance of growers selling softneck garlic (named for its soft, pliable stalk,

A
s if the mid-Hudson Valley in mid-October needed an attraction with eye appeal beyond our autumnal foliage, the Woodstock Film Festival (WFF) will be back for its 19th annual run from Wednesday the 10th through Sunday the 14th. The usual variety of venues in Woodstock, Kingston, Rhinebeck, Saugerties and Rosendale will play host once again to hundreds of screenings, panel discussions, concerts, awards parties and exhibitions that showcase the latest offerings from the ever-bubbling stewpot that is independent cinema. As befits a festival that prides itself on promoting the “fiercely independent,� WFF’s content tends to be innovative and often outside the movie mainstream. But there are familiar currents within this flow: more documentaries and short films than you’ll likely find at your local multiplex; a lot more filmmakers of color (this year’s
special guest programmer, Roger Ross Williams, is the first African American director to win an Academy Award) and nearly half of what’s on view was made by women. Woodstock being a musical town, you can count on some music-related programming. Aside from the fact that most “film� nowadays is actually shot on video, the medium itself isn’t what’s usually new at WFF. But this year brings a chance to experience an up-and-coming cinematic technology: Virtual Reality (VR), touted as “the next phase of storytelling for creators and artists.� On Saturday, October 13, the Kleinert/James Art Center will host a 10 a.m. panel discussion on the new, highly immersive medium, featuring curators Carol Silverman and Dario Laverde and VR artists and experts; then, in the afternoon and evening, visitors will get the chance to experience VR live in the Woodstock Film Festival Virtual Reality Lounge at the Center for Photography. Tickets for this limited opportunity are going fast. As with any film festival, some attendees come for the frisson of rubbing elbows

Paul Dano’s much-anticipated directorial debut, Wildlife, to be shown at 9:45 p.m. on Saturday at the Playhouse and again at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Rosendale Theatre. Science fiction and fantasy fans have some treats to look forward to, including a visit from Christopher Lloyd, famed for playing the eccentric inventor Doc Brown in Back to the Future. He gets to portray a time traveler again, this time in a more serious vehicle: Alyssa Rallo Bennett’s ReRun, which screens at 8:15 p.m. on Sunday at the Playhouse. Both star and director will be on hand for the talkback. And if you’d been hoping to catch a glimpse of either Maisie Williams, who plays Game of Thrones’ beloved assassin-in-training Arya Stark, or Asa Butterfield, star of Hugo and Ender’s Game, when they were shooting Peter Hutchings’ Then Came You in Kingston last year‌well, the two young actors aren’t scheduled to attend in person. But the two WFF screenings – at 9:45 p.m. on Friday, October 12 at the Playhouse and at 9:15 p.m. on Saturday at Upstate Films Rhinebeck – do constitute the tragicomedy feature’s world premiere. There’s plenty more to entice a visit, as always, including a new documentary by the great Barbara Kopple, A Murder in Mansfield, plus more music docs, including Michael Franti’s Stay Human and Mark Maxey’s Up to Snuff, whose star W.

But now O+, its institutions, and its people are a year-round fixture of the cultural climate here. O+ is the flagship
event of the New Kingston, and perhaps one of the primary reasons that the stilltenuous rebirth of this little city feels like something different from gentrification and another wave of urban flight upriver. There’s a weekly O+ radio program on the new Radio Kingston (ah, the sweet, sweet terrible sound of AM!). The many murals painted for O+ are the backdrop of Uptown.

Evan Dando
In typical O+ fashion, the bulk of this year’s lineup was announced all at once, and then some time passed, and then the big-name, keynote headliners – pop/ rocker Evan Dando of Lemonheads fame and comedian Janeane Garofalo – came in a second wave of announcements. The literal poster boy for the Boston guitarpop of the ’90s and beyond, Dando, with or without the Lemonheads, has been on an underpublicized roll since the release of his first nominal solo record, 2003’s Baby, I’m Bored, and the excellent Lemonheads Mach II self-titled reunion record in

Few people have combined crunch and sweetness is a more agreeable way than Evan Dando, who performs at the Old Dutch Church on Saturday, October 6 at 9:30 p.m. Also, on Saturday, October 6, the Comedy Resistance presents the legendary comedian and actress Janeane Garofalo in performance in the huge back room at BSP at 323 Wall Street.

Residents and visitors are invited to experience the multiple creative disciplines and services at the heart of the organization’s mission. From 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., WBG’s Artistin-Residence program will host its final Open Studios of the season at the Villetta Inn (3 Upper Byrdcliffe Way), where visual artists including ceramicists, videographers and more will share the fruits of their nearly four-week stay atop Mount Guardian in an informal, meet-the-artist format.

At 2:30 p.m. the Brydcliffe barn theater hosts readings and performances by Byrdcliffe’s artists-in-residence. Closing the day is a 4 p.m. concert at the Barn by Maverick pianist Simon Mulligan who, according to the Times of London, is “the most abundantly gifted of pianists.” His collaborations include performances and recordings with Yehudi Menuhin, Joshua Bell, Leonard Slatkin, and Sting.

as a member of New Paltz’s beloved indie-rock band Breakfast in Fur, as well as his own jammier trio Blue Museum. This year, he received a commission to compose a piece of true local resonance. The resulting work, The Edge of the Hill, is a hybrid electronic/ensemble composition that features elements based on the Ulster County environment and what its citizens do to preserve and protect it. The sneak peek that the composer vouchsafed me describes a composition of lithe melody (some tangoesque, some Reichian pattern study) combined with radical sound manipulation and many actual human voices of the Valley describing their relationship with Ulster County’s extraordinary natural environment. The Edge of the Hill will be performed on two occasions at the Old Dutch Church: Friday, October 5 at 9 p.m. and Saturday, October 6 at 1 p.m. For the complete lineup and schedule

Everything that
there is – this ballpeen hammer, for example, or an oil-blotched puddle with a spent chocolate-milk carton floating in it – triggers untempered joy, grief, rage, wet kissing and total release. It’s tough on the heart and the knees, and maybe they secretly hope that the juice gives out sooner rather than later. The veteran Kingston band Nightmares for a Week paints a musical picture that is all heroic deed and tragic catharsis, parties that end in tears, the ordinary as unfailingly epic, an economy of pure payoff just ’cause you were born

into time and everything else sucks, straight to dessert, no waiting. Ever. When the dynamics dip – typically little more than a shallow divot that you can measure in milliseconds – it is just a half-pipe used to generate a little momentum for the next peak, the next flailing, fist-pumping leap into the yap of a modern world that chews ordinary people up. But I did say that they are “veteran.� They are savvy and smart about it. They know the deal when you are all about the sugar. NfaW’s legendary live sets are downhill, airtight, leakproof, relentless and short. And if the next act up isn’t the Boss himself, well, good luck. On their bracing, literally delight-full new record Celebrations, NfaW prove, for the second time in four years, that their art of electric catharsis is not exclusively a live thing; it transmits well from the studio because, once again, they are smart and veteran about it. They have mastered the microdynamics of cranked, the finer grades within the general category of “10.� They are deceptively savvy stylistically, mixing a few totally on-topic genre expansions (the ’50s girlpop of “Beautiful Boys,� the pre-Ramones garage punk of “Peep�) in with their baseline sound: working-class E-Streetinspired epic guitar pop, with some of the
brightness and jangle of pop/punk and a vein of noisy electric fritz imported from an ’80s Minnesota garage. Celebrations is front-loaded with viable singles, though every song is imagined as a hit. The clap-along “Arrows� sports an irresistible, emotionally deepening chorus and might be the first among equals here. The eternal-adolescent anthem “Summer� drops a winking hint at the gentlemen’s current state of life (“tell your mother, tell your wife�), just as the aforementioned “Beautiful Boy� seems more likely to be about parenthood than about teen heartbreak. With its inscrutable refrain of “dark glasses, black masses,� the title track gets at what amounts to the record’s thesis: These times are shit, but we are alive and we have each other. A sense of “crowd� enlivens this record from beginning to end – in the gang choruses and stray room voices, in the way that the two-singer band passes the mic at pivotal moments within songs (those lead-vocal handoffs are NfaW’s secret weapon). This veteran-but-stillyoung rock band preaches a vision of something like collectivism without a trace of prescriptive hippie ideology. It’s a blue-collar collectivism of getting by, reliance and service and shared tears among family, friends and community.

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY
Autumn fire “I was drinking in the surroundings: air so crisp you could snap it with your fingers and greens in every lush shade imaginable offset by autumnal flashes of red and yellow.” – Wendy Delsol “Autumn is the most beautiful time of the year to the person who has no leaves to rake.”
I
reach into the collection of laundry lint I keep next to the dryer. Then into the recycling bin for some sheets of newspaper. Upstairs for a lighter, and a firestarter. Time to head out. The air cools my skin as I head into sepia, my twilightshaded yard. I pull off the cover of my fire pit, arrange my treasures, add some twigs. An autumnal equinox mandala. Flames are feeble at first. I sit, wait. I am patient. I know I’ll repeat this step a few times as the sticks ease into their self-fueled warmth.
“And in the evening, the piled firewood shifts a little, longing to be on its way.” – Mary Oliver My son and his friends wander outside to see what I’m doing. The flames succumb to cold, and he takes over. I smile, thinking how much I have invested in his years of fire-making skills at Wild Earth and Bowdoin Park. He eschews lighters and firestarters, blows out hiss-streamed air that resuscitates the waning bit of orange. His friends warn him about his long hair getting too close. He’s attentive but not worried, his hands and breath guide him. A robust flame rewards his efforts, but she’s fleeting and threatens extinction if not refueled swiftly. He knows, he’s ready with larger sticks now, then places a new log across the one I left in there from June.

outside, then my husband, and I invite each of them to add some material. They are quiet, intentional, as each places a stick. Thoughtfulness settles in as nature’s confetti of ash and smoke dissipate silent wishes. They leave, I remain. Someday this will be the reverse, I think to myself. I leave, you remain. Am I this fallen twig, this reclaimed log, eventually to be consumed by…. Or perhaps “consume” isn’t right. Maybe I am ash, smoke, swirling, soaring into new realms, released by the wood. Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. 9:54 p.m. Welcome, autumn.
A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer’s wave good-bye. Head On and Heart Strong! Words, pauses, crackles, another hair warning. Full darkness, faces illuminated by shadowy flashes as the fiery glutton consumes his offerings looking for more. The heat begins to sustain itself, balance. Like the equinox I am honoring. The teens leave, I remain. I want to be reflective but I’m just grateful to have had a summer. I thought I’d be long gone in March. My daughter and her friend come

of rock — with feelers on every street corner looking for the first signs of fresh new things to borrow and glom upon. Monder’s thing was fresh but hardly new. Often ballparked as a player in the impressionistic tradition of John Abercrombie and Bill Frisell (more the latter than the former to my ears, a harmonically rich cloud painter sans the pop impulse of a Pat Metheny), Monder is now in his mid-50s and has been on an impressive run since the late 1980s. He grabbed his jazz imprimatur from his work with Toots Thielemans, Lee Konitz and—especially on-topic—with Paul Motian, who, as the drummer in the first and greatest Bill Evans trio, can be said to have founded the impressionistic jazz tradition. Monder’s 2015 release Amorphae features some of Motian’s last recorded playing. Amorphae is also Monder’s first on the label that hosts all of jazz’s finest watercolorists, Manfred Eicher’s ECM. The only surprise is that it took Monder so long to wind up there. The Rhinebeck Chamber Music Society presents a free concert by Ben Monder and vocalist Theo Bleckmann at the beautiful Wilderstein Historic Site on Sunday, September 30. Monder and Bleckmann go way back. They recorded No Boat, a stunning and strange ensemble piece, in 1997. – John Burdick Monder and Bleckmann concert, Sunday, September 30, 2 p.m., Wilderstein Historic Site, 30 Morton Road, Rhinebeck, www.rcmsmusic.org
Thursday Night Irish Music at Garvan’s
The New York City jazz guitarist Ben Monder was already the owner of a humming 30-plus-year career as leader and sideman when he was tapped by David Bowie to be one of the featured voices in the ensemble that made Bowie’s arrestingly strange final album, Blackstar. When Bowie taps, you fall down. He was the Miles Davis

Advance Base at BSP
The new working alias of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone’s Owen Ashworth, Advance Base continues this auteur’s fascination with the wheezy, dirty, chintzy and culturally active sounds of cheap and broken electronic instruments, but takes it pre-digital for the most part. On 2016’s A ShutIn’s Prayer, a shambolic chamber ensemble of Grandma’s rhythm machines, warbling, unserviced electromechanical keyboards, de-
tuned drones and layers of distortion work in support of Ashworth’s unvarnished confessional songs, replete with a damaged prettiness. Ashworth may remind you as somewhat more Type B and resigned version of Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozalek, with whom he has worked. His taste for toy, small and broken sounds is quite sensible sonically: It leaves plenty of bandwidth in the mix for the personality of his scratchy, ambivalent baritone. Advance Base performs at BSP in Kingston on Tuesday, October 2. Also on the bill is labelmate Gia Margaret, who herself favors delicate songs of ambivalence set to a distant plucking and a keening vertiginous warble. Admission costs $8 at the door. – John Burdick Advance Base Tuesday, Oct. 2 7:30 p.m. $8 BSP 323 Wall St. Kingston www.bspkingston.com

Sept. 27, 2018 highlight for my family. Constant improvements are made to the site which have resulted in more opportunities to visit and admire the beauty of the gardens, the river views and the recently remodeled house on the top. The castle itself is scaffolded with metal rods and supports, but my eyes are drawn to the interesting and unusual building features. Since the castle was built without an architect, some of the engineering that
normally happens in construction projects is absent, increasing the urgency to sure
it up before more parts crumble into the river. Bannerman’s Island (Pollopel Island, technically) is uninhabited, but the renovations, including building trails and recreating and cultivating the gardens, are done by staff and volunteers. I strongly encourage you to visit this oneof-a-kind spot with your family and friends. I love the feeling of being “somewhere else” but still in familiar territory. My kids really enjoy being in the presence of a castle and
the voyage to it. How can people like us get there?

Skywalk Festival this Sunday
T
he Skywalk Festival is the perfect way to visit Olana and Thomas Cole’s home in the same day - the artists’ homes are just a bridge-walk away from each other, you just need to decide which one to visit first! Great for all ages, and free. The Skywalk Festival celebrates the art of the Hudson River Valley and the upcoming completion of the Hudson River Skywalk, which will provide a pedestrian pathway connecting the Rip Van Winkle Bridge – with its new viewing platforms – to the Thomas Cole National Historic Site and Olana State Historic Site, on either side of the river. The experience will weave together the historic homes and studios of Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and Frederic Church (1826-1900) with the Hudson River Valley views that inspired them. The new pedestrian walkway on the bridge is complete; the pathway to Olana is under construction and scheduled to be finished at the end of October; the pathway to the Thomas Cole Site will be virtually completed in October as well. Come to the park next to the Rip Van Winkle Bridge’s toll plaza in Catskill to see larger-than-life puppets, observe plein air painters, hear a performance by classical guitarist David Temple, and participate in hands-on art lessons with instructor Stasia Fernandez – all in a beautiful setting overlooking the Hudson River. Activities at the bridge will take place between noon and 4 p.m. Parking is available at the toll plaza parking lot. The Festival includes special events at both historic sites as well. Temporary signs will direct guests between the bridge and the Thomas Cole Site, which is within walking distance. Due to construction of the roundabout on the East approach to the bridge, the public is encouraged to drive to Olana. – Erica Chase-Salerno Annual Skywalk Festival at the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, Sun., Sept. 30, noon-4 p.m, https://www.olana.org/skywalk-festival.

BIG TAKEOVER TO HEADLINE BENEFIT CONCERT FOR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS FOR THE DYING
W
hat does great music have to do with a home for the terminally ill? It’s all about the fundraising – and the fun-raising. Circle of Friends for the Dying (CFD) is a nonprofit organization chartered to open a home for the dying in Kingston. Circle Home will be a comfortable and safe residence for people with fewer than three months to live — a place wherein they can receive compassionate hospice care. Circlestock, the first annual benefit concert for CFD, will be an all-out night of music at Colony in Woodstock on Friday, October 5 with The Big Takeover, Hudson Valley’s own roots reggae/soul/world band led by NeeNee Rushie. There will be horns and a beat — kind of like the heartbeat of life itself. Add to this a set with Blueberry, also known as Gwen Snyder Siegal, with her smooth keyboard jazz renditions, and you’ve got a well-rounded evening. There will be a raffle of great prizes donated by community sponsors and businesses. CFD’s Circle Home will provide a haven for those who, because of their infirmity, can no longer safely remain in their own home or who may lack a family member to serve as a caregiver. The first home for the dying in the Mid-Hudson Valley, Circle Home is slated to open in early 2020. Circlestock tickets can be purchased online and at the door. A VIP ticket includes access to the Green Room for a Meet & Greet with the band, designated seating, table service for food and drinks, one free drink and a stuffed goody bag.

NIGHT SKY
Is the universe conscious?
H
aving just returned from a lecture series, I enjoyed when an audience member asked the standard question: “What are science’s most amazing recent discoveries?” There are plenty to choose from, such as a powerful, previously unknown layer inside the sun. We are also tantalized by astounding mysteries we didn’t even know about 30 years ago, such as why the moon is made of elements having the same isotopic fingerprint as those of Earth, unlike every other celestial body. But the most mind-twisting progress in the gradual enlightenment of homo bewilderus is probably in the increasing realization that the universe may not be primarily material. The standard model of reality is a story repeated endlessly in science classes and on TV documentaries, which is that everything began with a big bang 13.8 billion years ago. That’s when the entire cosmos, as small as a mustard seed, somehow burst into existence. It then expanded faster than light before coasting, while energy turned into matter, and matter into stars and galaxies, until on Earth, and perhaps many other planets, life somehow arose. Life had consciousness, and this is why we now find ourselves contemplating the universe. Consciousness has always been a frustrating, baffling mystery. How can such an intangible thing as the fact of awareness, such as experiencing the smell of buttered corn, arise from the insentient atoms and molecules that fashion our bodies? The assumption is that awareness is somehow created by the brain, though no one has the slightest clue how this might happen. This model was okay until the quantum theory gang in the 1920s started doing experiments that showed that an observer’s awareness would alter the experimental results. Suddenly it seemed that consciousness was somehow intertwined with the material universe, and this connection only grew greater with further physics revelations such as entanglement, which demonstrated an instantaneousness and connectedness across the cosmos. Slowly, reality was starting to resemble the premises of Eastern religions, and several popular books brought this to the public’s attention. As some readers know, I’ve been a part of this effort, with the two biocentrism books co-written with Bob Lanza, MD. Their great success, which has included many foreign editions, shows that this is a popular subject that is probably overdue to appear on this page. Now I’ve just finished a review copy of a new book by Mark Gober, entitled An End to Upside Down Thinking, which introduces several fascinating new conclusions about this topic. To bring all this up to speed, first, once again, remember that today’s standard science model is material based, and assumes that atoms, stars and planets (with behavior guided by the four fundamental forces) are the basis of the cosmos. Most scientists regard consciousness as an irrelevancy, an airy-fairy sort of thing. But as Gober emphasizes, the surest aspect of reality is our awareness. After all, everything observed, contemplated, thought about and experienced occurs via the simple fact of consciousness. It is the most inarguable aspect of the cosmos. So, rather than dismissing it, perhaps perception itself ought to be the starting point in our scientific explorations of reality. Therefore let’s consider an alternative model in which this is moved front and center. By this thinking, consciousness is not merely correlative with nature, as biocentrism claims to prove, but is the sole foundational basis of the universe. For the moment,

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY
consider that perhaps awareness is eternal and never absent. Indeed, you’re always conscious of something, and this always is felt to occur “right now.” This never changes. And maybe we cannot figure out how the brain creates consciousness because it has never really done that! What if the brain’s job is to filter, focus and even limit the consciousness that is all-pervasive, to make the experience appropriate for the individual organism, such as yourself as a human. If this is true, then the brain’s dissolution at death in no way ends the experience of awareness. Indeed, that could be what opens the floodgates to unlimited, unconfined awareness, as is experienced in mystical states such as those labeled enlightenment, samadhi or satori. This would also explain why in lab settings those taking psychedelics who insisted they’d experienced truth or oneness or so-called self realization had been medically found to have reduced brain activity. Well, interesting, but if you want actual evidence and hard scientific backing, the place to begin is to search out and study the famous double-slit experiment. I devote two chapters to it in Beyond Biocentrism. My guess is that revelations along these lines will be increasingly proven experimentally, and we may be indeed on the cusp of a more accurate way of understanding the universe. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Goldenrod is innocent Lee says ragweed is the allergy- causing culprit this time of year
B
efore going any further, let me bust a myth that still might be having some traction: Late summer and fall allergies are not caused by goldenrod (Solidago spp.). Goldenrod gets the blame for its showy, yellow blossoms during this allergy season. But the true culprit is ragweed, which goes unnoticed because it bears only small, green flowers. It makes sense that the pollen of a showy flower would not cause allergies. Flashy flowers put on their show to attract insect (and, in some cases, bird or bat) pollinators. Wind can’t carry their heavy, sometimes sticky, pollen. Pollen that causes allergies wafts around in the wind. Wind-pollinated flowers (euphoniously called “anemophilous” flowers) don’t need to attract animal pollinators. With that said, I can safely revel in the rich golden yellow with which goldenrod’s flowers are painting sunny hillsides and fields this year. Goldenrod’s beauty comes as no surprise once you realize that it comes from a very good family, the daisy family, Asteraceae. Sunflower, black-eyed Susan, coneflower — and thistles and dandelion — are among its kin. Confirm goldenrod’s heritage with a magnifier trained on one of its small florets. Flowers in the daisy family are made up of one or both of two kinds of florets. Each disk floret is a relatively small, symmetrical tube of fused petals. Petals of the other kind of floret, ray floret, are also fused, but asymmetrically into one long, strap-shaped petal. The head of a sunflower (most varieties) is mostly disc florets circumscribed by prominently petaled ray florets that create that decorative ring around the head. At the other extreme is a dandelion flower, all of whose florets are ray flowers, resulting in a powderpuff of yellow petals. Most species of goldenrod have flowers like those of sunflower — but you have to look closely. My meadow — or hayfield, or whatever you want to call it — was once replete with goldenrod. And before that, pale lilac flowers of wild bergamot (Monarda fistulas) blanketed much of the field. And before that, the field was grass, kept that way by the previous landowner’s regular mowing throughout the season. Sadly, for me, goldenrod has lost its prominence in my field, replaced by coarser and more woody plants such as poison ivy, sumac and wild blackberries. My once-a-year mowing has kept these plants from totally getting control of the landscape. Without mowing, the field would, in time, become forest. This spring, I decided to try to reclaim the field and, I hope, invite back some goldenrod

and wild bergamot. My modus operandi is to mow regularly. In previous years, the wide paths I would mow and maintain mowed through one season would reflect that mowing for at least the following season or two or three. Mostly, it was the grasses, the only plants that can tolerate frequent mowing, that came into prominence. I expect plants such as goldenrods and wild bergamot will gain footholds beginning next year and increasingly so in years to follow — until, of course, poison ivy and friends start to move in again. Landscapes aren’t static, and changes come relatively quickly, not always predictably as the changes are seasoned with each year and more long-term weather and climate patterns. Wild grapes are also prominent in the landscape this year, mostly from the jasmine-like aroma with which they perfume the air. Here in the eastern US and Canada, fox grape (Vitis labrusca) is a prominent wild grape. The variety Concord typifies the flavor and texture of fox grapes. Why “fox?” No one knows for sure, but around 1880, the botanist William Bartram suggested that the epithet was applied to this grape because of the “strong, rancid smell of its ripe fruit, very like the effluvia from the body of a fox.” Others suggested the epithet came about because foxes ate the grapes, or because the leaves resembled fox tracks. Disease resistance and cold tolerance of fox grapes helped save the French wine industry a century and a half ago, when these grapes were hybridized with the traditional, disease-prone wine grapes (V. vinifera) of Europe. Thousands of hybrids now exist all along the spectrum from vinifera to fox as far as flavor, disease resistance, cold tolerance and other characteristics. I’m enjoying the aroma of the wild grapes but most appreciate the flavors of Vanessa, Somerset Seedless, Alden, Edelweiss and my other cultivated varieties. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?
