Let Her Know She’s Special This Mother’s Day!
Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Since May 8, 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson made it official, we have celebrated Mother’s Day. We visit; we give flowers, gifts, candy, and all sorts of goodies to the woman who first introduced us to this world.
This is the woman who always wanted to hear what we had to say,
hear what we had done that day, hear where we had succeeded
and where we might have fallen short, but in her eyes, never failed.
She loved us when we forgot her birthday.
She loved us when we gave her an iron on that birthday.
She loved us when we gave her a bunch of poison ivy for a Sunday centerpiece.
And we loved her.
We loved her when she called us by our sister’s name.
We loved her when she made that special meal when we came home from school.
We loved her when she said nothing about the ridiculous outfit we were wearing,
Or stopped us at the door for it.
She is the person we could always call when we needed her,
Who would love us when we thought no one else in the world ever would
Wherever she was, we were home.

The term native refers to plants growing in North America before European settlement and includes trees, shrubs, perennials, ferns & grasses. Natives are the most sustainable choice for the home gardener. By their very nature, native plants have adapted to the climate of the area, making them naturally hardy. Beautiful, interesting and varied, they evoke a sense of place and are essential for creating garden habitat for wildlife. Wildlife has evolved using them for food, cover and shelter.
Landscaping with native plants may require gathering more information so join us for a discussion with Bruce McCue. Bruce has owned & operated McCue Gardens in Connecticut for 43 years this spring. He took four years of horticultural school in two years and taught classes on perennials at college. He was the founder of the growing system for German Iris in containers, which is now in use nationwide. He has also created a system for propagating yellow lady slippers that takes six years off the bloom time. He started by just growing a few items in the beginning to now growing and propagating 1,500 different varieties.
Proper selection, care and placement of natives produce a landscape that is both visually attractive and beneficial to wildlife. Plant conservation is key and it begins right in the home landscape with native plants.
