CRAPE MYRTLES - MEMBERSHIP - FALL SCHEDULE
posted by admin at 19:58 || under Monthly Newsletters
| Crape Myrtle"The Lilac of the South"Dynamite Crape Myrtle | Crape Myrtles are a popular choice for gardeners. They require very little maintenance and provide beautiful color in the heat of the summer. Crape Myrtles are most popular in the south, gaining the nickname the lilac of the south, but are enjoyed by gardeners across the country. Their scientific term, Lagerstroemia, was coined in 1759 in order to honor Magnus von Lagerstroem, an avid naturalist. The common name in America, Crape Myrtle, is derived from the crape-like appearance of the flower. The Crape Myrtle was introduced to Charleston, South Carolina from China and Korea, in the late 1700's by the French botanist Andre Michaux. Today there is a crape myrtle to fill every landscape need, from specimen type trees to fast growing dwarf types.

SPECTACULAR SPRING
posted by admin at 6:57 || under Monthly Newsletters
| What a Spectacular Spring It Has BeenAfter what seemed months of cold, wet, snowy weather spring arrived. And what a spring we had. The poppies were amazing. The irises - gorgeous. And the roses fantastic. Pink Double Ruffle Poppies - Iris - Roses
 |  Many Clark Garden visitors have been impressed with the Peggy Martin Rose growing along the arbor at the Rose Pavilion. When we explain that those roses were planted from a one gallon container and are in their third year there is total disbelief. Not only is the Peggy Martin beautiful, it has a great story. The rose survived Hurricane Katrina. Dr. William Welch, our featured speaker at our Spring Festival, shared the story. I hope you have a chance to take time to read Dr. Welch's article the Early History of the Peggy Martin. The history makes the rose even more beautiful. |

As Thanksgiving approaches the staff at Clark Gardens is thankful to our many friends and supporters of the gardens. Our membership and volunteer program has grown in both numbers and strengths. In 2010 we will celebrate our 10th anniversary. This would not have been possible without your support. Thank you!
BOOtanical Festival saw a record number of attendees. Over 1200 people attended the festival. The admission fee to enjoy the Halloween fun was a nonperishable food item. Through the generous donations of our guests, food items were donated to the three area food banks, First United Methodist Church, First Christian Church and the New Haven Ministries. All three food banks are grateful for the donations.
