Ask the Gardener: Does it really matter if you deadhead flowers?

Q. My iris doesn't bloom much anymore. Does this mean I have to move it? A.K., Watertown A. Moving it to a sunnier spot may solve your problem, but divide it while you're at it so it has room to spread out. You probably have the popular "bearded'' iris, which gets it name from three fuzzy strips radiating from the center of the colorful flower. Pry out the fleshy rhizomes (roots), which look a bit like culinary ginger and grow just under the surface. You can cut them into 6-inch pieces with a clean knife and discard any roots that are soft or diseased. Replant these smaller rhizomes horizontally just beneath the soil surface, root side down and 3 feet apart in a sunny spot. There are also many kinds of so-called "beardless'' iris that lack the fuzzy flower strips. These include moisture-loving Louisiana and Japanese iris and the easier and more popular Siberian iris. These seldom need division to keep blooming, but if you want to propagate them, just use a sharp spade to slice off and dig up a piece of root without lifting the entire plant.

One Class, One Day: Reading Mount Auburn Cemetery

At Mount Auburn Cemetery, straddling Cambridge and Watertown, students taking A Walk in the Park: Understanding Boston Through Green Space are walking through green space, and learning about history. On other days, the students enrolled in the Summer I Perspectives on the American Experience course visit Boston Common and the Public Garden, the Esplanade and Franklin Park, Revere Beach, and one of the Harbor Islands. “You can read all you want about these places,” says instructor Charles Ian Stevenson. “But unless you go to the site and experience it, you’re going to come up short.” Stevenson (GRS’13,’19) wants students to understand the cultural, social, economic, and political factors that shaped and reshaped our public green spaces. “A lot of the idea of parks in American history and culture was developed in Boston, so the precedent for all these things is here,” he says. Stevenson finds stories about issues like race and class in every acre, which is one reason he wants his students to arrive at the cemetery the same way many Bostonians would have over the years—by public transportation. He and five undergraduates cross the BU Bridge to Central Square on a #47 bus, switch to the Red Line to Harvard Square, then ride a #73 bus out Mount Auburn Street to the cemetery. The five students from Metropolitan College’s Evergreen Program, open to those 58 and older to audit classes and attend lectures, turn up at the gates on their own. “We might see a funeral going on, so just be respectful of that,” Stevenson says as ...

Celebrating the Summer Solstice

Bon Me. There will also be a series of live performances throughout the evening to celebrate the beginning of summer. The Revels Singers, the Watertown-based community chorus, will put on a special performance of music celebrating the natural world, directed by music director George Emlen, who is retiring later this month after 32 years. There will also be a performance by Off the Ground Circus Arts, the husband-and-wife circus arts and acrobatic performers Roger and Ellen May, who will demonstrate fire-spinning, stilt-walking, juggling, and more. The final performance of the evening will feature West African drumming by Sidi Mohamed “Joh” Camara and Troupe Sewa, aimed at summoning luck and good fortune as the new season begins. Camara, who was born in Mali, now resides in Boston and has taught dance and drumming classes and traditional Mande culture and language at Boston University, Harvard University, and various community centers in Boston. Guests at tonight’s celebration will also receive free evening admission to the Harvard Semitic Museum, which houses more than 40,000 artifacts from Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Tunisia; the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, whose current special exhibition is Arts of War: Artistry in Weapons across Cultures; and the Harvard Museum of Natural History, where visitors can check out a honeybee hive or the world-renowned, and newly renovated, glass flowers exhibition. Summer Solstice Celebration 2016 is today, Monday, June 20, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture, 11 Divinity Ave., Cambridge. Take an MBTA Red Line train to Harvard Square and walk. The event is free and open to the public. In case of rain, the event will be moved inside the museums.
