How a Hawthorne woman's floral creations made it to the White House and the pope - NorthJersey.com

But when it came to hobbies, music would play second fiddle to the art of drying flowers after she and her husband, Charlie Miller, bought a farm in Ridgefield Springs, New York, a village 14 miles north of Cooperstown, in 1972. Soil at the 33-acre farm was rich in organic fertilizer, though Miller calls it something else. "The ground had so much cow manure that everything I planted came up gorgeous," Miller said. "I ended up doing five huge gardens." Miller wound up with a multitude of flowers, and at first she did not know what to do with them. "I just sat in the barn, and I said: 'What a waste. All of these flowers are going to die. Can't I try to make their life a little longer?' " Miller recalled. She tried different methods to dry her flowers, finding that some, such as cockscomb, could be dried out simply by hanging them upside-down.

Master pollinators: Invest in your garden with mason bees

Rob Sculley of local gardening business “Shorty’s” in Ridgefield says he’s owned mason bees himself before and says they’re great. “You never have to worry about them hurting you. If they stung you, you probably wouldn’t even know it.” On the productivity side of things, mason bees are far more accomplishing than honey bees. According to the Portland Nursery, honey bees pollinate an average of about 5 percent of the flowers it visits in a day. Mason bees pollinate a whopping 95 percent. Mason bees also visit more than double the amount of flowers in a day compared to honey bees. “Their (mason bees) main goal is solely to collect pollen,” says Sculley. He says this differs from honey bees who also equally focus on nectar, which limits their pollination output in comparison. “They’re also more active in cooler weather,” says Sculley. “Mason bees will go out in tougher conditions, whereas honey bees will stay inside.” In North America there are about 140 different mason bee types. In the Pacific Northwest the most common one is Osmia Lignaria, otherwise referred to as simply the “orchard bee.” They look almost identical to a standard house fly, as they have black bodies and a blue iridescent sheen. Keeping mason bees as pets is the easiest way to get them over to your garden. The website crownbees.com (based out of Woodinville) is a good place to start according to Sculley. Once you’ve got the bees, the hardest part is keeping them around, which really isn’t too difficult if you know what you’re doing. A final thing to know about mason bees should you invest in their services this coming spring is their life cycle. Mason bees emerge early in the spring when temperatures start to average about 50 degrees. Once out of the nest (males a little sooner than females) the bees mate and the males die a short time later. (The Reflector)

Woodland dinner emphasizes value of locally grown flowers

Mill Creek’s chef, Michael Borges, did the cooking. Among the local fare, the menu included goat cheese from Cloud Nine Farm in Ridgefield, bread from Bleu Door Bakery and wine from Ridgefield’s Confluence Vineyards.“It’s just so much fun to see local wineries, local breweries, local distilleries all come together with the local farms,” Brent said. “All of the people that are involved in this are so excited to be part of it.”American Grown Flowers has hosted 17 Field to Vase dinners across the nation in the past two years. After attending a few, Dobbe, who sits on the coalition’s governing board, recommended bringing the dinner to his farm. Holland America served as a fitting setting to cap off this year’s tour, Cronquist said.“It’s a great example of a wonderful American story of a flower farmer who started something here and has grown it ever since,” he said. “It seems appropriate that a person like Benno, who immigrated from Holland, found this piece of property and decided to start his tulip farm here.”Dobbe said he was honored to host what happened to be the tour’s first stop in Washington. He took the chance to praise his family and employees for their hard work and to tell the story of his farm’s growth from humble beginnings.“We came to this country not knowing what we could expect,” Dobbe said. “We wanted to make a difference in the flower industry, and over the 36 years that we have been in the business we know now that, yes, we did make a difference in the United States.”Today, Holland America ships flowers to every state across the nation from its two farms in Woodland and California, and Dobbe takes pride in knowing that a large portion of his flowers stay in the United States.
