SUMMARY:The Connecticut Daylily Society's September 19 meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our next meeting will be on Saturday\, September 19\, 2026. Please join us for this in-person meeting at the Sycamore Hills Recreation Center\, aka the Avon Senior Center\, 635 West Avon Rd\, Avon CT  \n12:00 pm: Doors open for a social hour.  It’s a BYO Lunch\, but we’ll have light snacks and beverages. \n1 pm: presentation by Gary Barsomian of the Boston area. He will discuss his program on breeding unique toothy daylilies with good garden character. \nGary has a wide variety of interests and manages to squeeze a bit of daylily breeding into his busy life! \nHere is a closer look at how Gary was inspired to enter the world of daylilies. \nMy grandmother Victoria inspired my love of gardening – what’s not to love about fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from your own backyard? As an adolescent\, I watched James Underwood Crockett’s Victory Garden on PBS\, and his Time-Life gardening series gave me my first introduction to daylilies. I’ve been growing them for over 50 years\, starting out by collecting Stout Medal\, Popularity Poll\, and All-America winners. \nMy professional training is in molecular genetics\, and in the 1990s I worked as a principal scientist at Genzyme. I’ve also always loved working with my hands\, and I’ve been a woodworker since 2000\, taking on a broad range of residential and commercial projects. I love a good challenge and diving deep into whatever I’m working on. \nOver the past three years\, my wife Andrea and I have spent much of our time building a net-zero energy home for our daughter Carmen on our city property – we did about 90% of the work ourselves. \nI began hybridizing daylilies six years ago. Much of our third-acre lot is intensively cultivated\, and my collection is focused primarily on toothy cultivars\, with a smaller number of ruffled or popcorn-edged varieties mixed in. At any given time\, I’m growing approximately 4\,000 seedlings for evaluation and selection. \nWe are looking forward to this intriguing presentation and connecting with our daylily friends!

SUMMARY:Barn Talk: The Beauty of Decay: Rethinking Dead Wood
DESCRIPTION:October is a fitting time to notice the particular beauty of decay and the quiet work dead wood performs in the landscape. What we’re often tempted to clear away- standing dead trees\, decomposing logs\, and brush piles- provide some of the garden’s richest habitat\, offering wildlife food\, shelter\, and overwintering refuge. As it breaks down\, dead wood enriches the soil\, encourages natural regeneration\, and lends the landscape a sense of age and continuity\, adding texture and character that deepen over time. This program invites gardeners to reconsider dead wood as vital habitat\, part of a healthy woodland system\, and a thoughtful element in managed landscapes.

SUMMARY:Gardening Like the Forest: Designing Edible Ecosystems for Homes and Communities with David Jacke
DESCRIPTION:Gardening Like the Forest: Designing Edible Ecosystems for Homes and Communities with David Jacke\nNovember 19\, 2026\, 7pm\nOn Zoom and in person at Congregation Beth Israel\, 701 Farmington Avenue\, West Hartford\nMembers are free; non-members $10\n(Members will receive the Zoom link the Sunday before the talk.) \nHealthy forests maintain\, fertilize\, and renew themselves\, naturally. Meanwhile\, agriculture as we know it is arguably the most ecologically destructive force on Earth. Enter “ecosystem agriculture\,” a synthesis of ecology\, design\, and agriculture aiming to design abundant food-producing ecosystems that mimic healthy natural communities. For example\, edible forest gardens mimic the structure and function of natural forests while growing food\, fuel\, fiber\, fodder\, fertilizers\, farmaceuticals\, and fun! Can we meet our own needs and regenerate healthy landscapes\, communities\, and ecosystems at the same time? Let’s explore the vision of ecosystem agriculture\, a little history\, some science\, a few examples\, and a sampling of some useful perennial edibles you can use in your own gardens. \nDave Jacke is the lead author of the award winning two-volume book Edible Forest Gardens. An engaging and passionate educator\, Dave is also a meticulous designer. He has studied ecology and design since the 1970s and has run his own firm—Dynamics Ecological Design—since 1984. He has designed\, built\, planted\, and managed landscapes\, homes\, farms\, and communities around North America\, as well as overseas\, and inhabited forest gardens at his current and past homesteads. He holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Simon’s Rock College (1980) and a M.A. in Landscape Design from the Conway School of Landscape Design (1984).
