  6. Lush green lawns and vibrant flower beds stretch across a tranquil garden, framed by mature trees and a distant stone wall, perfect for #NaturePhotography. The #SummerLandscape is dotted with wildflowers and a central stone birdbath, giving the setting a timeless charm. Nestled within the #CountrysideViews of a historic estate, it offers peaceful walking paths and seating areas where visitors can enjoy the scenery. Popular among those exploring #Gardens on National Trust properties, it blends natural beauty with the heritage of a #HistoricEstate.

  11. #Gardens that Nurture #Culture

    Spring 2022

    Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.

    " 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.

    "In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.

    "While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."

  12. Was discussing apples with someone over on gander, a little tip, when your local tree org offers you apple trees, make sure you get at least 2 varieties to cross pollinate. Hearing a few folks that get all the same variety, and then wonder why they never get apples.
