CONNECTICUT TRIBUTE AWARDSPolly Brooks, ChairCivic DevelopmentCHERYL CAPPIALIMILFORD GARDEN CLUBCheryl’s nomination for this Tribute Award is a Classic.A friend, a fellow member of her garden club nominated her. Itwas not the most organized nomination, but it was the mostpassionate. When I talked with Cheryl, a member of theMilford Garden Club only since 2012, she was taking a breakfrom what’s listed below, watching monarch caterpillars hatch.She has completed Flower Show School, is a Student Judge, and,by the time this is presented, may be an Accredited Judge.She has taken an Environmental School course, and has but onecourse to complete for Gardening School. Martha Shea andCheryl oversee Gardening School for our Federation.Cheryl served as her club’s Website Chair and HorticultureChair.Before she became a Master Gardener, Cheryl maintained theParson’s Rain Garden, which goes two/thirds around thegovernment building in Milford, maintained a sustainableNative Plant Garden at the Milford Public Library, weededBodie’s Place, a handicapped access playground at EisenhowerPark, and kept an eye on Wilcox Park, a bird sanctuary/nativeshade plant/pollinator garden behind the library.If Cheryl isn’t maintaining a garden, she’s probably plantingone, as she did with a Girl Scout Troop.13

Since she became a Master Gardener, she supervises threeinterns at some of these properties, and appreciates theassistance. She serves on the Board of the SouthwestConservation District of Connecticut.She was nominated for this Tribute Award by her proud friend,the late Katherine Patrick.ConservationALICE DAHMSSUFFIELD GARDEN CLUBAlice Dahms has been an active member of the Suffield GardenClub (SGC) for 37 years, since 1981.In 1983, the establishment of a Household Hazardous Waste(HHW) Collection Day became Alice’s project to design andoversee. Education was an important part of her vision.Partnering with a bank, she prepared fliers sent to allschoolchildren and homeowners. The High School scheduled aninformational study. For Suffield’s Flower Show, Aliceborrowed a doll’s house and indicated which rooms were mostlikely to contain hazardous materials, and ran a DEP video.For Suffield’s 1st HHW Collection Day, the Suffield GardenClub supplied lunches, checked identification, directed trafficand answered questions. Alice skillfully organized the variouscommittees needed.After thirty-five years, the Collection Day has become a “welloiled machine,” according to a member of the Public WorksCommission. Alice continues to inspire through her leadershipand example.The crews who worked at Hazardous Waste days used to sign up14

for the sites at which they wanted to work. Word has it therewere fights as to who could come to Suffield to enjoy the lunchesAlice’s SGC members prepared. Alice has overseen Suffield’sHazardous Waste Collection Day for thirty-five years.“Endurance is a marker of success. Thank you, Alice Dahms.”(quote from her letter of nomination).DesignLANA HOTHE GARDEN CLUB OF ORANGELana Ho has been a member of The Garden Club of Orange for35 years (1983). She is a former President (2001-2003) of theclub, and an FGCCT Life Member. A photo of one of Lana’sprize-winning designs appeared in the 2012 Vision of BeautyCalendar (March).Her nomination states “As a mentor and as the embodiment ofcreativity, Lana has generously shared throughout the years inher club by teaching members classic floral design techniques,and ever-changing contemporary methods. Lana is extremelytalented and excels in everything she does. She has won manyblue ribbons at our Standard Flower Shows and at those ofnearby garden clubs. She enjoys sharing her knowledge withanyone who is willing to learn, to expand their personal style offloral design, stretch their knowledge, and be open to theexciting new designs and techniques that are now available to us.She inspires members to leave their comfort zones and be proudthat they did. She frequently conducts workshops for areagarden clubs.”How, you ask?

Lana has writtenroughly ninety Bench Exhibit Schedules.15

Garden TherapyMARTHA SOLIDAY and JUDI ARMSTRONGGOSHEN GARDEN CLUBEvery month, members of the Goshen Garden Club collectvegetable cans, theirs and those from the soup kitchen. The cansare cleaned, deburred, and covered in wallpaper or heavydecorative paper.When possible, they use flowers from their gardens or theroadside. In winter, they purchase flowers from local grocerystores.Three to five club members visit each of 5 localrehab/convalescent homes monthly. There was a time theyvisited 7.They’re allotted recreational space at the homes. Residents arewheeled in or walk in and are seated at tables. A member givesthem a can with water added already and at least one green (thisreminds residents this is not water to drink). Then clubmembers distribute additional plant materials for residents toarrange as they wish. Club members work with at least 150people each month.Martha Soliday has watched over this Horticultural Therapyprogram since earlier times when, with fewer elderlyparticipants, they planted narcissus bulbs or made nosegays, inaddition to providing floral materials.Judi Armstrong, a newer member of the club, has embraced thisprogram, and stepped in whenever another couldn’t participate.Between them, they embody the spirit of a longstanding clubproject.16

The garden is certified by the NationalWildlife Federation as a schoolyard wildlife habitat.Landscape DesignLESLIE MARTINOTHE GARDEN CLUB OF WOODBRIDGENo, this is not Leslie’s first Tribute Award. In 2008, she receivedthe Civic Tribute for the design of a period perennial garden atthe Thomas Darling House in Woodbridge.Perhaps because Leslie found it daunting to drive to and fromCambridge, Massachusetts, to earn graduate level Certificates inLandscape Design and History from Harvard University’sLandscape Institute, she has shared her knowledge andexpertise with our members and the public.For Landscape Design School, Leslie spoke on “Preservation ofHistoric Sites and Structures,” “Community Participation,”which covered the steps concerned citizens and groups can taketo initiate civic projects, and the “History and Development of17

Community Gardens.” Leslie served as Chair of LandscapeDesign School through 2013.For the 2018 Second Annual Meeting of New England GardenClubs, Inc., Leslie presented a captivating program on“Community Gardening and the CSA Concept.”She presents programs about Frederick Law Olmsted, BeatrixFarrand’s garden designs in Connecticut, and Donald GrantMitchell’s contributions to park systems in New Haven.Leslie’s not just words. In addition to the Thomas DarlingGarden, Leslie designed the 9/11 Memorial Site in front of theFirehouse for the Woodbridge Volunteer Fire Department. Thisthoughtful design has as its focal point a piece of steel beamfrom the World Trade Center. A full description is available onher club’s website. It IS a thoughtful design.She is a former President of The Garden Club of Woodbridge, aformer board member and Vice President of The FederatedGarden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc., a Master Judge and, clearly,a remarkable landscape designer and landscape historian.PhotographyCATHERINE ONEGLIALITCHFIELD GARDEN CLUBSince joining the Litchfield Garden Club in 1997, Cathy hasbeen active in all aspects of the club.

For a fee, local private Pre-Knursery schools may attend also.Teachers select garden-related subjects relevant to thecurriculum.Some shows are “Composting 101,” “Exploring the FourSeasons and Five Senses in the Garden,” and “Kidding AroundAbout Sustainability.”The programs, which run from April to November each year,foster a love of gardening, and encourage interaction with thenatural world at an early age.As a village in Norwalk, the Rowayton school has a diverse19

socio-economic demographic. Exposing these children to healthylifestyle topics enables a hands-on introduction to theenvironment and good nutrition.All Around ExcellenceJOSIE SCHMIDTTHE TOWN AND COUNTRY GARDEN CLUB OFNEWTOWNAs Josie’s nomination is fully three pages long, and cannot beduplicated here, it is appropriate to relay that Josie utterlydeserves this Tribute Award.While she’s been a member only since 2008, “her hand is thefirst raised, her voice the first heard, and her enthusiasm andenergy impossible to ignore. The minutes for the last ten yearsare replete with ‘presented by Josie,’ ‘organized by Josie,’‘directed by Josie,’ and ‘committee headed by Josie.’“However, it is not the decade of service that prompted thenomination, it is her broad skills, consistent volunteerism andher involvement in the community, as well as in the club, thatsets her apart. She’s a great gardener, conservationist and civicvolunteer. As Co-President, she developed some of the mostexciting programs the club had ever seen, to help celebrate its50th Anniversary.“In a club full of talent, Josie is still unique. Her many pastachievements, her persistent on-going efforts, and her ideas andpassion for the betterment of the club- and town- make her theideal recipient for the Tribute Award for All AroundExcellence”.20
