Plant sales sprout up statewide

For the first time this year, the club will sell garden-themed yard sale items. The Wilmot Garden Club has hosted a plant sale on Memorial Day weekend for almost 30 years at the Old Firehouse next to the post office, member Lindy Heim said. But this year it will be moved up to May 21. In past years, customers have taken to lining up outside the door, waiting for the sale to open at 8 a.m., Heim said. Now, the club offers refreshments to those in line. Heim said available plants include geraniums, New Guinea impatiens, tomato starters, parsley, lady’s mantle, phlox, sedum, ground covers and more. Annuals and vegetable starter plants are delivered by the Jolly Farmer, a Canadian greenhouse with an office in Maine, a few days before the sale. “Their plant material is just outstanding,” Heim said. “We’ve used them for years and years.” Garden club members will also divide out perennials from their and their neighbor’s gardens. Heim said perennials do best when they are divided periodically, so it’s a benefit to those who contribute. “We leave gardens better than we find them,” she said. Wilmot Garden Club members will be available to aid customers in selection, which can be loaded into a fleet of borrowed red wagons. Heim said prices are reasonable, just $5 for two six packs. It’s best to be there early, too. The sale ends at noon, but Heim said they tend to sell out before then. “Most of (New Hampshire Federation) clubs’ plant sales are only open for business for three or four hours and the doors open as early as 8 a.m. so ‘the early bird gets the worm’ definitely applies here,” Kimball said. “By holding their plant sales early in the day plant sale patrons are able to get in and out and back home to plant their new purchases or to head off on some fun family outing with a full day still ahead of them.” An added benefit to purchasing plants from local clubs is that most put the money right back into the town by adopting and maintaining gardens, supporting students through scholarships or contributing to other nonprofits. “Spring plant sales have long been the primary and often the only fundraiser garden clubs undertake on an annual basis,” Kimball said. “The proceeds from these events generally go toward underwriting the clubs’ ongoing civic beautification efforts, community projects and, in many cases, their scholarship fund.” The Hooksett club uses the fundraised money to take care of its gardens on the library grounds at the Route 3A intersection near Memorial Bridge and next to the “Welcome to Hooksett” sign. This year, members will also return to caring for the 47 boxes of flowers along Memorial Bridge after taking a year off during bridge reconstruction. “I think we do a lot of work for a small club,” Whitefield said. Wilmot uses proceeds from its sale to maintain at least nine public gardens, mostly at intersections and in front of town buildings and the library, and it sponsors a $1,000 scholarship for someone interested in studying horticulture, botany, conservation and agriculture. “...

Lauderdale: RBC Heritage 2016 one for the records

We’re at the right place where we should be as far as discussions go, but nothing to announce as yet.” Tournament director Steve Wilmot said before the ceremony that several meetings were held throughout the week involving RBC, Boeing, and the PGA Tour. “There are no issues,” he said. “It’s just a matter of working through some details, hopefully, and we’ll hopefully find out sooner rather than later exactly where we’re going, but we’re set for 2017 and that’s our focus right now.” But on this day, the locals know better than anyone what made this Heritage the one with record ticket sales. It was the weather. Meant to be Saturday’s blue skies and bright sunshine seemed like a double-bogey compared to the “Charles Fraser weather” of Sunday. Fraser, who concocted this whole affair in 1969, had an uncanny knack for keeping dark clouds from his audacious plan to pull eyes, feet and wallets to his dreamy shore. They said the chance of rain on Friday was 80 percent. I didn’t feel a drop. Maybe that’s why the nose on Fraser’s bust at his grave overlooking Harbour Town Yacht Basin has been rubbed clean by people who apparently still believe. When the weather is right, and the Heritage party flows from oak-lined fairways to the marina, we can slow down the ‘tyranny of the urgent.’ With CBS Sports, the Golf Channel and others spreading images of our water, boats, birds and beautiful trees worldwide, everything the tournament was meant to be seemed to have come to pass. People stopped to talk to each other, and giggle and laugh. They wore bodacious clothes. They took a million photographs of each other and shipped them instantly to a waiting world. My favorite snapshot is the one of Ogunsheye “Sheye” Rohlsen, the heart and soul of my neighborhood Harris Teeter on Main Street, wearing a robe that came from Africa. Sheye escaped the Teeter long enough to enjoy the Heritage on Sunday with friends Lynn Mancill and Jeani Davis. Lynn bought a long tartan skirt at the Bargain Box thrift store, and Jeani fashioned it into their two skirts and decorative flowers for a festive stroll over the grounds. ‘Tyranny of the urgent’ And I saw silent suffering along the yellow ropes as a father watched his son miss the cut by one lousy stroke over two days of pl...

Rosemary McLeod on death and cemetaries

Dead we become the lumber of the world,’ wrote wicked Lord John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, translating Seneca. Rochester had no great liking for mankind, living or dead, and popped his clogs at 32 after a life of debauchery. He and Seneca had a point. We may cease to exist but we clog up the earth in death just as we do in life, lying in neat rows in our wooden boxes, roués and spinster aunts alike, and what with man-made pollution and climate change we’re arguably a waste of space either way. In films the deceased person is always buried in a cemetery full of character, old roses winding round headstones, and weeping marble angels. In real life you get to lie in a new cemetery lined up under identical slabs of stone. Nobody can afford monuments any more, but if you’re lucky you get plastic flowers in a plastic vase, before they get pinched. If I could choose I’d buried in the Dissenters’ cemetery on a hill overlooking Akaroa harbour. Death would be pleasingly dull, endlessly squabbling about religious points of order in that quiet spot among the trees, but it’s bound to be bulldozed over one day. Only death lasts an eternity.. Better, maybe, to be cremated and have your ashes blow into a flowering gorse bush like my friend Jackie, who would have laughed, or back onto your mourners, as in The Big Lebowski. Echoing Stephen Deed’s history of early cemeteries, my great-great grandmother was lowered into the earth on family land in the Wairarapa, with a laurel hedge planted around her. Why laurels? Is death some kind of victory? The poor woman was only 42. Such graveyards on farm property are still dotted round our countryside, though for how long we can’t say. My great-grandfather dug her up when he made money and replanted her in the Masterton cemetery, where she now lies in the family plot under a concrete obelisk, vivid graffiti all over it, the concrete covering the crowded family coffins cracking like the shell on a boiled egg. You can be sure that one day juvenile gang prospects and glue sniffers will squirt your carefully chosen Biblical – or Buddhist – quotations with fluorescent pink, smash your headstone, and toddle home believing they’ve done a good day’s work. It was ever thus, but when we allow such vandalism to happen we lose a chunk of our history, which it’s Deed’s mission to explain. His argument for preserving our old cemeteries and listing them as historic places is compelling. Unearthly Landscapes is both an account of our early churchyards, cemeteries and urupa, and a plea for their preservation before benign neglect or vandalism, official or otherwise, destroys what we can never retrieve. He begins with the English way of death before colonisation. The churchyard cemeteries that look so romantic in Victorian illustrations ... (The Spinoff)
