Letter from the Director:When I was a kid, growing up in Wheaton, my family spent alot of time in Wheaton Regional Park. We visited the animalsat old MacDonald’s farm, played in the old airplane playground,took skating lessons, petted the taxidermy animals at the naturecenter, and, of course, visited Brookside Gardens. One of myearliest memories is in the Conservatory, way back when thesmaller South House was used as the production facility. Lookingthrough the glass, I saw a rabbit. I was convinced it was PeterRabbit. Peter Rabbit lived at Brookside Gardens! Many years later,that moment of magical discovery still makes me smile.Our production operations have long since outgrown that little South House, and threeyears ago, we were fortunate to open a brand new, 11,000 square foot productiongreenhouse. Now, we have outgrown the Conservatory, that lovely oasis of fragrantand tropical plants that dates to our opening in 1969. Fortunately, Montgomery Parksleadership, our County Executive and the County Council have recognized the needto build a new Conservatory that meets the demands of our community in 2022 byfunding a Capital Improvement Program budget to design and build a new Conservatory.A Conservatory that will still be a warm escape on cold snowy days (as I write this,on January 3, 2022 we have 8” of snow and counting). A Conservatory that will be adestination for the 1,000,000 plus visitors who come to Brookside Gardens from nearand far. A Conservatory where people can connect to plants that they may only knowfrom their spice rack. A Conservatory where the next generation of kids will discover thewonder of plants.Exciting days are ahead, stay tuned as our Garden grows!Happy Gardening!Stephanie Oberle, DirectorINSIDEGARDEN NEWSWelcome New Staf . 4News Notes . 4On a Journey to Wabi .5Taming the Aquatic Garden . 6Thank you donors!.7Volunteer Update. 8PROGRAM GUIDEEventsMontgomery County GreenFest,Concert Series, ConservatoryDisplays, Art Exhibits, Plant Shows .9Adult ProgramsSpeaker Series, HorticultureClasses .11Garden Tours, Hands-onWorkshops,.14Health and Wellness.15School of Botanical Art &Illustration.16Children & FamiliesChildren’s Programs .17Programs by Date . 18Registration . 19

On a Journey to Wabi Wabi is the Japanese term used to describe the simplistic, yet natural andimperfect aesthetic of the Japanese Garden. In collaboration with JohnPowell, Zoen Japanese Gardens, Brookside Gardens’ Gude Garden is inan active transformation to reach wabi. The Garden redesign focuses onprinciples of shakkei (borrowed scenery), and in and yō (a scale balancedby two opposing elements). In melding with the existing stone featuresof the Garden, we are implementing additional Carderock stone (a localstone quarried since 1926 in Bethesda, Maryland) to stabilize failingpond banks, enhance features such as the newly constructed tsukiyama(artifcial hill) at the Gude Garden entrance from the Parking Garden,and tobi-ishi (steppingstone) paths throughout the Garden, includingGude Island.As you venture through the Gude Garden, think of the stones as the“bones” of the garden, while plant material is the “fesh.” Focus hasshifted from deciduous plants to those that are evergreen, includingplantings of Kuromatsu (Japanese Black Pine, Pinus thunbergii), andAkamatsu (Japanese Red Pine, Pinus densifora) at Refection Terraceand Gude Island. Deciduous plants are selected to emphasize seasonalchange, such as Sakura (Flowering Cherry, Prunus spp.) in the springand Momiji and Kaede (Maples, Acer palmatum and additional species,respectively) for vibrant fall foliage color.The Pinus species are pruned twice yearly, beginning with midoritsumi(the thinning of candles and reduction in length of remaining candles)in early summer, while momiage (removal of oldest needles, resultingin fve to seven pairs remaining at end of branches) in early winter. Inspring, short evergreen shrubs are sheared into tamamono (low, broadshouldered) to emulate forested mountains and rolling hills (recallborrowed scenery, shakkei), while taller evergreen shrubs are shearedinto entoh-kei (tall, rounded domes). Pruning of deciduous material(emphasis placed on Momiji and Kaede) occurs in December-January tothin crowded branches, producing an “airy” efect.Relating to the idea of opposing forces, evergreen material may beconsidered in, while deciduous material may be considered yō. The goalof these pruning techniques is to manipulate young plants to appearold and to mimic large features observed in natural areas (locally, I fndinspiration in Sugarloaf Mountain, Great Falls, and Spruce Knob). We hopeour journey towards wabi in the Garden creates a landscape that invokespeace, contemplation, and of course, inspiration. See you in the Gardens!Josh DemersGardener, LeadRefection Terrace: Upright, sawn Carderock ashlar installed tostabilize failing pond bank.

GARDEN NEWSTaming the Aquatic GardenThough Beto Diaz Galvan started working atBrookside Gardens only about a year ago,in that short time he made great strides inbattling invasive plants and erosion in theAquatic Garden. There has been an ongoingproblem with several invasive plants in thisarea for years, but Beto was not deterred bythe scope of the project. In fact, during histenure at Hillwood Museum and Gardens andother pervious positions, he became veryfamiliar with a variety of invasive plants andhow to eradicate them. One of his frst projectsupon embarking on his career at Brooksidewas to remove the porcelainberry (Ampelopsisbrevipedunculata) from the fences alongGlenallan Avenue – the goal was to remove itbefore it went to seed. Closely related to grapevines, this aggressive plant is reminiscent of itsrelative as it produces attractive, multi-coloredfruits similar to grapes. But these deceivinglylovely fruits, with their internal seeds, areproblematic. Birds love the fruits and carry anddeposit the seeds wherever they may fy, andthe seeds germinate readily. Porcelainberryalso spreads vegetatively and can grow overand shade out native plants. Beto is proud tosay that about 85 percent of the invasive vinehas been removed, and, with that strong start,he knows it will be less challenging to removethe rest of it in the coming months.At the upper pond, Beto and his volunteershave been removing a host of invasive plants,like Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica),oriental bittersweet (Celastrus obiculatus), andmore porcelainberry. Though not invasive,there is also an excess of goldenrod (Solidagosp.) and aster (Symphyotrichum sp.) that mustbe removed. He plans to replace these plantswith some lower growing plants to a maintainviews of the pond. Some plants on his listinclude scarlet mallow (Hibiscus coccineus)switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), cardinalfower (Lobelia cardinalis), blazing star (Liatrisspicata), common rush (Juncus efustus) andmany other plants that attract pollinators.One plant that visitors have been missing isthe winterberry (Ilex verticillata) that used toinhabit the dam between upper and lower6ponds. Unfortunately, these plants threatenedto weaken the dam and had to be removed.However, Beto will plant new winterberryspecimens at the upper pond’s edge, awayfrom the dam, to bring back their distinctfall and winter beauty. He’ll also incorporateAmerican beautyberry (Callicarpa americana)and, possibly, blueberries into the mix.Below the lower Aquatic Garden pond,the peninsula of land surrounded by twostreams has, over the years, been inundatedwith invasive plants – primarily English ivy(Hedera helix) and porcelainberry. Thoughit is a native plant, large stands of poison ivy(Toxicodendron radicans) also needed to beremoved due to its potential toxicity to manyvisitors. But removal of these plants had anunintended result: erosion of the streambanks. When it became clear to Beto that theerosion needed attention, he contacted PopeFarm Nursery (Montgomery Parks’ productionnursery) to ask what types of plants theyhad in stock to control erosion. Taking a cuefrom nature, Beto decided to add Christmasfern (Polystichum acrostichoides), which wasalready growing along the banks. In addition,he planted a variety of sedges including whitetinged sedge (Carex albicans), rosy sedge(Carex rosea), low woodland sedge (Carexsocialis), and eastern star sedge (Carex radiata)— all of which helped to reduce the erosionimmensely. Though he also removed autumnolive (Elaeagnus umbellata), he left the existingnative woodies like American holly (Ilex opaca),native black cherry (Prunus serotina) andfowering dogwood (Cornus forida). A total of460 plants were added to the peninsula, andthey are already making a signifcant diferencein holding the stream banks in place.Beto hasn’t been able to achieve all of thissuccess by himself. His gardener assistant, PaulShelton, along with a team of volunteers, haveworked alongside him tirelessly to restore thebeauty of the Aquatic Garden. Be sure to visitthis area and admire Beto’s and his team’s workon your next trip to the Gardens!Register at ActiveMONTGOMERY.org

GARDEN NEWSVolunteerism: How did we get here?While it is difcult to credit one event thatsparked the creation of “volunteering,” oneaccount shares that volunteerism in Americabegan with interested colonial individuals whowanted to help at their local urban centers.Early accounts mention how the frst volunteerfrehouse was started in Philadelphia byBenjamin Franklin in 1736. Additionally, theuse of the word “volunteer” is taken from theLatin word voluntarius, meaning willing or ofone’s own choice. Ofcial use of the wordis traceable to the 17th century, and by the18th century, it began to be associated withindividuals who willingly joined the militaryservice. The creation of ofcial volunteerorganizations did not begin until the 19thcentury, and by the 20th century, manynotable organizations were created, includingthe YMCA and Rotary Clubs. So, while the actof volunteering is no longer strictly connectedwith military service, the act of communityservice is still synonymous with volunteering.Of course, we must recognize thatvolunteering is a luxury for individualswho can aford to spare time outside oftheir daily schedules. Formal volunteerprograms, like Brookside Gardens’, oferservices to volunteers by coordinating withtheir respective schedules and providingstructure to their tasks. These individuals oferBrookside Gardens support in programmingand operations which helps to maintain anaccessible garden for all to enjoy. While weofer individuals the opportunity to join ourvolunteer cohort, many simply cannot due totheir busy schedules. I would argue that wehave many free agents who act selfessly andwho we consider to be informal volunteers.Many of these individuals continue to act freelyand provide services to their community andthe Gardens at no cost and with no recognitionwhatsoever. Nevertheless, these goodSamaritans serve the community by picking uplitter in the Gardens and answering questionsfrom new visitors. One generous visitor evenhelped a stranger change their car tire!Speculating on the origin of our own volunteerprogram, I would bet that many of the frstgood Samaritans to Brookside Gardens weresimply individuals, and possibly friends, whobanded together to support their local publicgarden. Their willingness and reliable supportprovided an opportunity for the Gardens torecruit local community members who hadthe luxury of donating their time and talentsto the Gardens at no cost. Communityinterest gradually grew into the formation ofour volunteer ofce, and we’ve appreciatedeveryone who has dedicated their time tomaking our space what it is today. Whetheryou are one of our many volunteers workingregularly or simply a good Samaritan, thankyou for your continued support!Albert ArevaloVolunteer & Community EngagementCoordinatorThank You Donors!, continued from page 7In Memory of George ofBethesdaMike AdamsNate ChristensenKerri CocuzzoMarc De SerioTerrance HallDennis KearnsAaron MerrellGlenda LopezTammy SpadaroTifanee WatkinsDae YiIn Honor of William &Thelma GerowSharon WentzelJudy GoldenbergIn Memory of Laura B.GraciaJoseph GraciaIn Memory of JudyHamiltonGladys Martinez & friends ofBrady Hamilton8In Memory of JaneHoleywellRyan HoleywellIn Honor of AmandaJohnsonEric JohnsonIn Memory of Robert L.LivingstonRebecca LivingstonIn Memory of Charles A.MooreAlpha MooreIn Honor of Philip M.NormandyRobert NortonIn Memory of Thomas L.Robertson, Jr.Teresa RobertsonIn Memory of Malcolm &Alice SamuelianVivian S.
