(Shelley McPhee photo) Past president talks of Myths and Meanings By Helen Owen It is generally accepted that gardeners are "down to earth" people. But this is not .always so as was demonstrated by .Doris Hunter when she was the speaker at the meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club. on Feb.13. Introducing Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Dorothy Hovey described her as a lady known for her unique ideas who always devoted much time and energy to every project which she undertook. She was the founder member of the Garden Club, a Life Member and a Past President who continued to make unremit- ting contributions to the work of the club in all its areas of activity. • that decision to her audience. The first story she told concerned the Garden of Eden about the flowers and their colors and how, the snowdrop offered its whiteness to the snow, which until then had no defined col- or. These beautiful little flowers, symbols of hope were the harbingers of spring and said Mrs. Hunter, had already made an ap- pearance in her garden. On the negative side some plants were associated with the devil, such as garlic and onions. The Bible, she said, contained many references to flowelrs and herbs from which had developed traditional .meanings with both. Christian and pagan associations - such Hunter gave examples of the significance of willows, emblems of sadness, and depicted by artists to emphasize such themes; the significance of the forget-me-not, and the. sweetly scented violet, as well as the fan- tasy like qualities of the. Christmas rose, and the freshness and charm of the familiar lit- tle daisy. Her stories, which.' she had researched in detail combined a whimsical quality with a basis in fact and myth, and revealed how much plant life had, remained an essential characteristic of communication, aesthetic appreciation and horticulture. Thanking her, Doris Reddoch commeded Mrs. Hunter for a fascinating presentation, hick she said must have re aired much d-- time:and-research`.in-the-course-ot prepara • tion.
