"TURNING A COLLECTION
INTO A GARDEN"
September 11, 2012
JIM FOX
Jim Fox is a horticulturist
and tour leader who works
at Wells Medina Nursery in
Bellevue, WA.
Originally from Alaska, Jim
Fox has lived in Seattle the
last 15-20 years. When Jim
isn’t working full time at
Wells Medina Nursery, he
lectures and writes about
horticulture, consults as a
garden editor and designer,
and travels to further his
study of plants and gardens.
His encyclopedic knowledge of roses, perennials, and design makes Jim one of the
most well-informed gardeners in the Northwest.
For our September meeting Jim will tie together our garden design. We buy plants
because we like them and we put them in our gardens. But, how do we create a
beautiful whole garden? Jim will give us techniques for grouping plants to make a
collection into a beautiful garden.
Doors open at 6:30 for book sales and
viewing botanical samples. Admission is
$5 for non-members and free for
members. Our meeting site is the
Campbell Community Center, corner of
2nd Ave. and High St. There is lots of
easy parking.

CAROLYN
"DESIGNING WITH
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES"
Carolyn Kolb and her husband Larry,
are the owners of Wind Dancer Garden
Nursery in West Salem, Oregon. They
have been raising ornamental grasses
since 1999. Their passion for grasses
has grown steadily, and the nursery now
has over 100 varieties of grasses,
bamboo and phormium. Six years ago,
they added a beautiful display garden
that showcases grasses as they would
look in a landscape. The Kolb's unique
specialty nursery has prompted interest
from the media, and they have been
featured on TV and radio, and in
magazine articles. Carolyn has
presented numerous programs about
ornamental grasses to garden clubs and
other groups.
In her presentation for the Hardy Plant
Group, Carolyn will talk about using
KOLB
ornamental grasses in garden designs,
and will show how these plants are a
great way to give lighter texture to our
gardens. She will use live grasses in her
presentation in order to display their
merits.
(NOTE: Carolyn's gorgeous garden and
nursery will be one of the stops on our
yearly bus tour to Salem. See the FALL
BUS TOUR article on page 8 for more
information.) Please come to both
Carolyn's events in Eugene and Salem.
Doors open at 6:30 for book sales and
viewing botanical samples. Admission is
$5 for non-members and free for
members. Our meeting site is the
Campbell Community Center, corner of
2nd Ave. and High St. There is lots of
easy parking.

From the Board
Welcome to the 2012-2013 season of the Willamette
Valley Hardy Plant Group! After a long hot summer,
we are ready to start learning and gathering
inspiration from a great line-up of speakers while
enjoying the company of our fellow gardeners.
HARDY THANK YOU, RHONDA!
Roger Gossler has booked a fantastic group of
speakers in the coming months. Read more about
the September and October presentations on pages 3
and 4 in this issue. Also, take note of the October
bus tour. Complete information can be found on
page 8. It’s sure to be a great time as we explore two
Salem-area nurseries and the Oregon Garden. Come
ready to sign up at the September meeting.
Rhonda has decided to retire from her
treasurer duties effective December 31,
2012, and we are terribly sad to see her
leave this position. Rhonda has not only
paid all our bills, handled all the money
for our plant sales, given monthly
financial reports to the Board, but she
has kept our books flawlessly throughout
the years with both precision and a
smile. Rhonda has been a valued
member of our Board, and we can’t
thank her enough for all her hard work!
Based on member feedback, we enacted a few
changes last spring that were received
enthusiastically and will carry over this year.
We are now starting each meeting with an informal
discussion and Q&A session. This is your chance to
share a botanical sample or ask questions of the
group! We will also continue to make refreshments
available at the beginning of each meeting.
Speaking of changes, regular readers of the
newsletter may notice that the newsletter has a new
look. We will also be moving to a new publication
schedule. A new edition of the newsletter will be
available every other month rather than monthly. As
always, we welcome your additions to the newsletter.
See a board member or send an e-mail to
editor@thehardyplantgroup.org if you wish to
contribute a written piece or photos.
We are excited about the upcoming year! If you
would like to be part of the planning and
organization that goes on behind the scenes,
consider joining the board. You are welcome to
attend a board meeting to find out more. Speak to
any board member for more information.

The Hardy Plant | September/October 2012
Please join the Board in offering a big
thank you to Rhonda Smyser, WVHPG
Treasurer for the past three years.
Rhonda’s retirement leaves a wonderful
opportunity for someone to step into
this volunteer position and join our
Board in January. If you have any
amount of bookkeeping experience and
would like to give back to our group in
this way, please let one of the Board
members know. We need you!
If you have questions or are unsure of
what would be required, Rhonda can
answer all questions and be available to
train anyone to help ease in the
transition. The Board is hoping to get a
volunteer, as this position is an
important one. If we cannot fill this
position with one person, perhaps two
people will consider taking it on;
otherwise we will have to pay to have
some of the Treasurer duties performed.
Thank you again, Rhonda, for a job well
done!

The 2012 WVHPG potluck picnic has come and gone....
The annual WVHPG potluck picnic was another wonderful member event with lots of great food
and fun chatting.
A HUGE THANK YOU to member Marion Talen and her husband Tim for hosting the picnic
at their lovely home and gardens in Springfield. And, an extra thanks to Tim for the fascinating
tour of vintage airplanes that he restores–a wonderful surprise that was quite interesting.
If you couldn't make the picnic this year, then plan to come next summer. It's a great event
where you can spend some fun time getting to know more about your fellow members, and eat
scrumptious food at the same time!!

MEMBER REQUEST:
!
These can't wait for the plant sale . . .
In large pots - Two 4 foot tall Camilia
sasanqua 'Yuletide' (blooms red in
December) and a Meyer lemon need a
new home, $5 each.
I have potted up seedlings of the
candelabra primroses that you
admired at our open garden last June.
They came up under medium yellow,
dark yellow and pale orange plants.
I've labeled them with the color of the
closest plant, but I can't guarantee the
seedlings' colors. Most pots have
multiple plants. $3 a 4" pot, larger
ones $4.
I will bring the seedlings and the
lemon to sell at the Sept. meeting, or
you can contact me before then at
pam@bobwhitman.com or 541-3440896. All proceeds benefit the
WVHPG.
I also desperately need 4" to half
gallon sized pots. If you have any to
donate, please bring them to the Sept.
meeting.!!!

FALL GARDEN BUS TOUR!
!
!
!
!
Our Fall 2012 bus tour to the Salem area is coming up on
Saturday, October 13th. We can’t wait!!
SIGN UP AT OUR SEPTEMBER MEETING!!
Organized and led by our internationally known tour guide,
Roger Gossler of Gossler Farms Nursery, we will be in for a
well-directed treat! Here are the basic details:
!
!
Saturday, October 13th — Rain or Shine 8am to 6pm
$30 per person includes bus ride, tour guide, 2 private
gardens, admission fee to the Oregon Garden & bus driver
tip
Bring your own lunch, beverage and snacks. Lunchtime
will be approximately between 1pm and 2pm while
traveling on the bus. Our tour bus will leave from South
Eugene High School at 8am.
Oregon Gardens
The McKee garden looks down on the Willamette
River from a hill. The several acres are beautifully
designed with many different areas and styles.
More gardens have been added since Roger’s last
visit to the garden in 2011. Visiting this garden will
mean walking up a steep, well-paved driveway. It is
flat at the top and the garden is in tiers. Visitors
must be ambulatory, and please, no crutches!
Our second stop will be at Wind Dancer Nursery.
Carolyn Kolb’s garden is on top of the same hill as
Sharon’s, looking north across the valley. Though a
smaller garden, the planting is amazing. The
ornamental grasses are a feature but there is a
great range of other plants in a well-designed
garden. Just a few days before our bus tour,
Carolyn will be speaking on “Designing with
Ornamental Grasses” at our monthly meeting.
What a great opportunity to see her garden first
hand! The nursery will be open for purchasing
plants.
You’ll have time to eat your lunch while we travel
to our final stop – the Oregon Garden – or you can
enjoy your lunch at the garden site. The Oregon
Garden in Silverton has become a lovely garden of
75 acres. The garden beds have filled out so the
separate gardens are now distinct. It becomes more
impressive with each visit. A tram ride will be
Our first stop will be at the garden of Sharon McKee,
southwest of Salem.
[[[[[[[[
available for an easy overview of the garden. There is a gift
shop and minor refreshments available at the entrance to
the garden. Sometimes plants are available for sale
directly outside the garden entrance.
We’ll return to Eugene between 5:30 and 6pm.
If you’d like to be part of this fabulous garden bus
tour, come prepared to sign-up and pay for the
trip with check or cash at our September meeting
on Tuesday, September 11th. The tour will be open
to Hardy Plant members & friends only through
the end of September. After that date, sign-up will
be open to the general public.!

Bits & Pieces
FROM WASTELAND TO GARDEN
Member Bernard Levine shares this lovely old
postcard from 1892 - Northampton, Massachusetts.
Description on back:
The grounds about Mr. William W. Lee's cutlery
manufactory have been laid out as a lawn, and the
ponds located where the many rather than the few
can enjoy them all the time. The accompanying
photograph shows the connection between the
factory and the grounds. What was once a barren
and desolate waste — having been devastated by a
flood — is now a thing of beauty and the joy of
thousands.
Garden Bounty:
Food
Kale, Arugula, and Chickpea Salad With Tomatoes & Onions
Ingredients
• 1 bunch kale, tough inner stems discarded, leaves roughly torn (about 1 pound)
• 1 cup arugula
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon juice and 2 tsps. grated zest from 1 large lemon
• 2 tablespoons balsamic or raspberry flavor vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, grated on a microplane grater
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• Kosher salt
• 1 small red or sweet white onion (Walla Walla), thinly sliced
• 10-12 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (or 2 small tomatoes, sliced)
• 1-2 teaspoons toasted slivered almonds
• 1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions
Place sliced onions in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Allow to rest for
15 minutes. Rinse in several changes of water then carefully dry with a salad
spinner lined with paper towels.
!
Mix olive oil, vinegar, lemon zest and juice, mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt
in a large bowl. Add kale leaves and toss until evenly coated. This next step is a
bit strange but very necessary. Massage the dressing into the kale. You literally
want to massage the kale with 2 hands making sure to squeeze the kale as you go
along, do this step for about 2 minutes. The volume of the kale should reduce by
about 1/3 and the kale will wilt and have a cooked texture. (The massaging makes the fibers of the raw kale break
down, and the kale becomes very sweet and tender.)
Once kale is wilted, toss kale with arugula, onions, almonds, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas in a large bowl (the
kale will contain enough of the dressing to coat the rest of the ingredients.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Top with sesame seeds if you like. Enjoy!

PLANT TALES
The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary
Most people learn in school about Medieval Europe's beliefs in many legendary creatures, such as
unicorns. One of the weirdest creatures was the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary, a legendary plant of
central Asia, believed to grow sheep as its fruit. The sheep were connected to the plant by an
umbilical cord and grazed the land around the plant. When all the plants were gone, both the
plant and sheep died.
The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary was considered a
"zoophyte" - an animal that looks like a plant,
common in medieval and renaissance herbals. They
were often found in early medical texts, and are
examples of explanations explaining the origins of
unknown plants. These continued into the 17th
century and were commented on by many scholars
of the time, including Francis Bacon. Claims of
zoophytes began to be refuted by 1646, and
skepticism increased in the 17th and 18th centuries.
!
These plants were said to grow from seeds that
looked like melon seeds but rounder. The sheep, or
lamb, was believed to have blood, bones, and a crablike flesh, which could be eaten. The blood supposedly tasted like honey. The "wool" was used by
the local people to make cloth. Wolves and other animals were attracted to it.
The vegetable lamb root at the Tradescant Museum
of Garden History in England.
It is believed that this may have been a Medieval explanation of cotton. The fiber was unknown to
Europeans except by trade, and they did not know at the time that it was produced from a plant.
Since cotton is white and fluffy, similar to wool, it's easy to see where the sheep-plant idea arose.
The plant that prompted this legend was actually a
type of fern, the Cibotium barometz. The root of the
fern was often collected as “evidence” of the existence
of the so-called vegetable lamb. (The Tradescant
Museum of Garden History in England has one of
these vegetable lamb roots, their particular specimen
preserved under glass around the middle of the 19th
century.)
This tree fern is native today to parts of China, where it
is known as Golden Hair Dog Fern, and the western
Malay Peninsula. It can grow to the height of 3'3" tall
when erect, but is often prostrate and spreads on open
forest slopes. The fronds grow up to 10' long. It is
collected in Southeast Asia and is in serious decline. It
is used in folk medicines; it is believed to replenish the
liver and kidney, and strengthen bones and muscles.
