A large number of Women's
Institute members and their friends
enjoyed a delicious pot luck dinner
on Tuesday, March 19 at the
Women's Institute Hall.
Following the blessing, which
was pronounced by Rev. Cathrine
Campbell, Dorothy Coultes, WI
president, welcomed everyone. She
then asked Ada Taylor (the curator
for the Tweedsmuir History) to add
briefly to the address she had given
recently, by providing information
on the hotel which had existed
opposite the old Queen's Hotel.
Apparently it had been owned by a
Charles Blakesley, and it housed a
butcher's shop and dressmaker's
business. The room above the
stable was used for concerts,
meetings and suppers and the hotel
itself was later converted into
apartments.
Gladys Van Camp, convenor for
the meeting, read a number of
poems, relating to Spring which
were well received. She then
introduced the guest speaker, Alan
Carr of Brussels, a landscape
gardener. He gave a brief outline of
the various type of landscaping
which are commonly used. In
formal gardens, he said, everything
is very balanced and symmetrical
often with a centre path leading to
the front door. Informal gardens, on
the other hand, lack symmetry and
are allowed to grow more freely as
they would in a natural
environment.
Japanese landscaping places the
emphasis on rocks and water, and
English style landscaping uses lots
of brightly coloured flowers.
Trees, both deciduous and
evergreens, may also be used in
landscaping. The larger trees
should be planted approximately 25
feet apart, and since some of the
root systems may extend up to 75
feet, they should be planted that
distance away from the house to
avoid cracking basement walls.
Shrubs used in landscaping may
have flowers in various colours and
leaves with different colours and
textures. They should also be
planted a little distance from the
house to enable them to receive
more air, light and moisture.
Many varieties of perennials may
be used since they bloom at
different times of the year and may
be left undisturbed permanently.
Annuals are also very popular since
they add quite a splash of colour
during the summer months.
Lawns should be raked when the
snow melts, to remove old grass
and snow mold.
Slow release nitrogen fertilizer
should be used in mid-April, mid-
May and mid-June, with more
being applied under trees. Also the
grass should not be cut in very hot
weather or in drought conditions.
Carr then demonstrated how to
prune both evergreen and
deciduous shrubs by removing all
the dead and brown branches. He
emphasized the importance of
keeping the centre of shrubs and
trees clear to encourage new
growth. He also mentioned that
branches should be pruned fairly
close to the trunk. Cutting should
also be done on an angle.
A brief question and answer
period followed after which Mrs.
Van Camp thanked the speaker and
presented him with a token of
appreciation. A book and picture
display pertaining to gardening,
was also enjoyed by those present.
