Food, glorious ood!
For the next three years, the
ocus o our programming will be
ood: how we gardeners can grow,
cook and eat ood that is resh,
nutritious and delicious. As sta
worked to develop this theme, we
realized there were so many possibilities: bringing in local gardeners to
share their knowledge; planting demonstration gardens that highlight the
unctional aspects o vegetable gardening; incorporating ornamental edible
plants into our displays; and more cooking (and tasting) demonstrations.This is a departure rom our typical programming, but I think it is a change
you will savor.
Another change you might notice is that we have combined two
publications, our magazine and our program guide. Now youll receive
notice o our programs and events, as well as the latest news about whats
happening in the Gardens, all in one place. And it saves paper and postage,
which means more resources or plants and gardening during these lean
scal times.
Happy Gardening!

T
hrowing a party is always exciting, rom planning
the days events, the guest list, and the menu to the
nal goodbyes and the clean-up. Our 40th Anniversary
party was the culmination o more than a years
planning and the involvement o all o our sta
and many volunteers.
The day was planned around three ree
events, oering something or children
and adults, and nally the dedication
o the 40th Anniversary Grove. First, we
designed the day to be similar to that o a
childs birthday party with cake and punch, and
games reminiscent o those played in 1969 (the year
Brookside Gardens opened), such as hula hoops, bean bag
toss, and pin-the-tail on the donkey (or, in our case, pin-
the-bee on the fower!). There was also a moon bounce
and ace painting. A birthday party isnt complete
without a goody-bag or the guests. So with that
thought in mind, we oered ree admission to
the Wings o Fancy Live Butterfy Exhibit as
our thank you git to our visitors. Next, we
had a community sing by the Washington
Revels, and then an evening concert by the
Beach Bumz, a Beach Boys tribute band. The
dedication o the 40th Anniversary Grove o 40 bald cypress
trees located near the Conservatory included a private
reception or donors, political leaders and Commission
sta. The Grove symbolizes a tribute to Brookside
Gardens past and a legacy or our uture. Like the
bald cypress trees, Brookside Gardens roots run
deep within the community and will continue
to grow.
The day exceeded all expectations and was
a huge success! More than 5,000 visitors (our
largest one-day gathering ever) enjoyed the
activities and the gardens. Brookside Gardens
wouldnt be the success it is today without its
dedicated and proessional sta and the generous support
o its volunteers, donors and visitors. We
thank you or orty years and look
orward to being here orty
more, at least.

F
or 2010 Brooksides theme throughout the gardens
will be FOODwhere does it come rom, how is it
grown, who eats it, what even does it look like in plant
orm? (Have you ever seen a sugar beet?) There will be a
variety o displays o real, live plants with accompanying
interpretation to convey the specic message o
each design.
In the Trial Garden, the round beds theme is sweet:
eaturing sugar cane, sugar beets, corn, and sweet
potatoes, and the new kid on the block, stevia.
A Culinary Garden in the long bed eatures
more than 80 varieties o vegetables,
edible fowers and herbs rom
around the world, laid out in
parterres using the principle
o companion planting, or
mixing plants known to
be benecial to each
other. The Great
Grains bed will eature
spring wheat, corn,
sorghum, soybeans, rice and
even canola (whats a canola?!).
New and improved vegetable
cultivars will be located in the trial
bed, paired with choice, even edible fower
varieties. And the bank bed will display more
edibles, including peppers, marigolds, rainbow
swiss chard, summer squash, and even 2 roses (or
their hips) and variegated corn!
Visit the Yew Garden or a colorul display o surprisingly
edible fowers, including dahlias, calendula, sunfowers,
and pineapple sage. As you enter the Fragrance Garden,
youll experience bold oliage and textural eects rom
edibles, such as Abyssinsian and ladynger bananas,
hot peppers, cardamom, sweet potato, watermelon,
pineapple, and a strange orange-ruited eggplant. Even the
Rain Garden will get in on the edible action! The display
bed surrounding the Rain Garden will eature fowers,
grains, grasses and vegetables with interpretation o the
interconnectedness o plants, animals, and the ood
web they comprise: Who Eats Who?
The challenge or Brookside as a display
garden will be to keep all these plants
looking good or as long a time as
possibleor ood plants arent
always the showiest or longest-
lived. (Recall what your own
vegetable garden looks
like in August!) Some,
like grains, will be
allowed to mature and
dry naturally or their
educational value, rather
than their appearance. Others
will be paired with appropriate
companion plantings, or have been
specically selected or their color (think
how many pretty peppers there are). We
havent attempted something like this on such a
scale beore, so bear with us as we learn too!

T
he Conservatory parking lot located at 1500 Glenallan
Avenue at Brookside Gardens has a new entrance; one
that is more convenient and welcoming or human visitors,
and just the opposite or the local deer population.
Prior to the installation o the deer exclusion grate (which
is similar to a cattle-guard), visitors encountered a closed
gate upon arrival. Installing the grate will allow the
automatic gates to remain open, thus saving energy and
the money used to repair the requent mechanical ailures.
Grates like these have been used very successully at other
gardens and on arms or years to keep livestock, or in this
case, deer rom going where they shouldnt.
Deer will not cross over the grate because they dont have a
steady ooting and ear that they will all. It is or this same
reason that pedestrians and bicyclists should not attempt
to cross the deer exclusion grates, but rather use the
pedestrian gate to the right o the entrance. Inormational
and directional signs have been posted
to alert visitors.
A similar grate was installed a ew
years ago at the sta service entrance
to the Gardens and has proven to be
very successul at dissuading deer
rom entering. Future plans include
installation o a deer exclusion grate at
the Gardens main gate to the Visitors
Center at 1800 Glenallan Avenue.

Note to Deer: No Admittance!
In July Brookside Gardens became the proud ownero a 620-gallon, above ground cistern. This rainwaterharvesting system uses gutters and pipe to catch the
rain that alls on one side o the Conservatory roo
and send it into the cisterns storage tank. All those
raindrops are kept rom reaching the ground, reducing
the opportunities or soil erosion and pollution o
adjacent waterways.
A small electric pump pushes water out o the tank
when a valve to the attached hose is opened. This
system is being used to water plants outside the
Conservatory, providing the same degree o water
pressure as a conventional water delivery system.
Rainwater is exceptionally good or plants, as it does
not contain the chemicals and minerals that are oten
present in drinking water and which can adversely
aect plants.
With the addition o our new cistern, BrooksideGardens is working to reduce soil erosion and
pollution into our surrounding waterways, plus
reducing the need to use expensive, puried water or
plants outside the Conservatory. We think our plants
are very happy with the change!

As the new Volunteer Coordinator Id like tointroduce mysel to those o you I havent met yet,and thank those who have already given me such a
warm welcome.
Over the last ew months, the Volunteer Program has
teamed up with Arbor Education and Training, which
provides work readiness training and support or
those re-entering the workorce. Brookside Gardens
provides individuals rom this program with volunteer
opportunities that allow or the development o
workplace skills, whether that be hands-on work in the
gardens, database work or the events oce, or behind
the register or the git shop. These new volunteers have
been a wonderul addition to the volunteer program,
and their hard work and dedication is an inspiration.
Another area where the volunteer program draws
inspiration is through Abilities Network volunteers.
Abilities Network sta makes community integration
opportunities available or people with a wide range
o disabilities. Volunteers rom Abilities Network
come to Brookside Gardens to assist with oce work,
work in the gardens, and help in our git shop. These
volunteers bring an enthusiasm or their jobs and love
or Brookside Gardens that brightens every workday.
In the uture, keep an eye open or a new High School
Horticulture Internship program, directed towards
students planning on pursuing an academic education
and proessional career in horticulture. Interns will
work up to 20 hours a week on various horticultural
tasks throughout the season. We will continue to
provide active, outdoor opportunities or local students
to gain Student Service Learning Hours.
Spring blossoms will soon emerge, and so will many
seasonal volunteer opportunities. Well be looking or
Butterfy Docents, Tour Guides, and Ticket Takers or the
Wings o Fancy Butterfy Exhibit, as well as Gardener
Assistants and Git Shop Volunteers. Stay tuned to the
new volunteer program webpage or new opportunities,
upcoming events and trainings, and other related
Brookside Gardens inormation.
