It was envisioned by its donor in the following way: Cherry Trees – that’s what I like, and I would like to see them blooming from the window in the dining room. I would like to see the Cherry Trees while walking on the Big Oak Walk, as well as from the apartment. New potential residents would see them bloom from the road while driving into our campus. Even the Japanese bridge should be a viewing platform. The beds that the Cherry Trees sit in should be large enough so that the trees can develop naturally and be safe from lawn mowers. My favorite colors are blue and pink. I like grape hyacinths and pink daffodils. For this project, I chose trees, grasses and bulbs that deer don’t like so they wouldn’t eat them. Grasses were added to capture the wind. The Denouement A few months after completing this project, I got a call from a friend asking, “want to come to Japan with me and see the cherry trees?” Hopeful phrases sprang to our lips - “The yen has gone from 80 to a dollar to 130 – I could deduct some of the cost because of my recent commission – after all, I’m still working as a landscape designer.” “What’s that? You say it’s spring and your son in law is there and speaks Japanese? Yes!” Now, some might say, we have cherry trees here – why go to Japan? Well, because they plant many more of them – Hirosaki Jo castle in Hirosaki, Northern Honshu, has five thousand cherry trees. Five thousand! They plant them up on hills and berms so you can stroll underneath them. They place them in elemental settings true to Feng Shui principals of wind-water-earth-fire, a theme which was especially evident in a garden at our hotel (Okura in Tokyo), where a glass wall was all that separated the garden from the entire restaurant. You see weeping cherries in bloom, built into the hill, framing waterfalls and fountains set off by two metal censers on legs in which charcoal blazed after dark, and instinctually realize the spiritual aspect of the scene. Wind-water-earth-fire-stone-metal – and still they make more of them, for it is a labor of love. I learned of a special event that still takes place in Japan called “Hanami” or “flower viewing.” People travel throughout Japan to attend, starting in southern Honshu in early April and continuing north through the blooming season. A blue tarp is placed under the cherry trees and revelers enjoy a substantial picnic lunch of sushi and sake while the petals cover them and make soft pink designs on the blue tarps. You cannot understand Japan until you understand the reverence of the people for flowers.

His	name was derived from Hopi, Koko (God) and Pelli (humpback flute	player). His legend spoke of his travels throughout the	Southwest. The story conveyed that his flute playing served as	an announcement of his friendly intentions as a trader. Also,	this trader was known to woo the maidens he encountered. To	some, Kokopelli was a god. To others, he was known more as the	humorous symbol of fertility. Back in August of 1996, Donna Swansen ventured to the Southwest for the annual APLD (Association of Professional Landscape Designers) Summer Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Before she left on her trip, Donna was faced with a one week deadline. She was in need of a theme for her exhibit at the Fort Washington Suburban Home and Garden Show in February. With the weight of the deadline always on her mind, Donna found a way to enjoy herself at the wonderful Summer Conference. She experienced and learned many new things to improve her business and P.R., but nothing had really struck an idea for her theme. The last day of her trip approached quickly and Donna was still unsure about a theme. She found New Mexico breathtaking and exciting, but something was still missing. She wondered over and over how she could bring the New Mexico countryside to the Philadelphia landscape. Confused and stumped, Donna found herself in front of a store named Jackalope. She admired the interesting title that derived from the mythical jack rabbit that moves like an antelope. Her curiosity led her inside. Upon entering the store, she heard music playing over the loudspeakers. As she looked around, she noticed several pieces of artwork and pottery displayed around the room. It was late in the evening and the store was ready to close. Her time was limited and the pressure was on. It was now or never. Donna was leaving the next day for Philadelphia and she needed to make her decision right away. Should she leave now as the doors are closing or should she take a chance? “What was that song I just heard?” she asked the store clerk. It was Ottmar Liebert. This song flowed through her mind. This started an avalanche of ideas and thoughts that rushed through her mind like the rapids of a river. The concepts began to form with everything new she saw. She purchased several terra cotta pots of different sizes. They fit perfectly with the terra cotta wood stove with matching chimney she also acquired. Donna was captured by two odd-looking creatures. They were half dog and half coyote and appeared to howl at the moon. She obtained them as well as a steel Kokopelli sculpture. The last piece of merchandise was a large 8-foot teak gate that she intended to use as the gateway into her ideas. She asked the store clerk to ship the items to her, because she couldn’t imagine taking all this home with her on the plane. After her sale was complete, she realized the store was closed and she was still inside. As Donna was ready to leave, she noticed a beautiful hand-woven Indian rug hung from the rafters above. “I want it – I need it!” she exclaimed to the clerk. A gentleman from the stockroom climbed up an extension ladder three stories high to get it for her. He untied it from the rafters above and released it to fall on the ground. As the rug fell to the floor below, it looked as if it were a magic carpet sailing through the sky. The young lady wrapped it for her, wishing her the best of luck in the show. As Donna left the Jackalope and headed for her car, she found herself drained from her day. She was exhausted by the rush of creativity and shopping chaos, but she knew that the elements for her exhibit were in hand and ready to be generated into her most exciting show yet at the Fort Washington Suburban Home and Garden Show on February 7th.

By Frank D. Quattrone Although two fall activities could hardly seem more dissimilar, football and gardening really have much in common. So observes certified landscape designer Donna Swansen of Ambler. To both the passionate and novice gardener, she strongly suggests, “When football season begins, it’s time to come up with a game plan for your garden.” And Donna Swansen should know. Co-founder of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, she is a native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, a town more prized for its ferocious football teams than its faerie gardens and fruitful flowers. So she’s learned a lot from the great American fall pastime. Her point is that tackling tough garden projects in fall assures your having a touchdown garden come spring. Jeff Hayes, manager of Primex Garden Centers in Glenside, entirely agrees. “Fall,” he says, “is actually the best time to plant. In the spring, most plants have to work harder, putting out roots and reaching out for the sun. But in the fall, all they need to do is put out their roots.” Primex has been doing business for 55 years, disseminating garden information, selling garden supplies and accessories and carefully observing the subtle changes in the seasons. Hayes says, “A lot of people mistakenly think fall is a short season. It actually lasts until December. The soil around here stays warm, with a fair amount of moisture, until well into January. It’s the perfect time to plant bulbs.” Hayes notes that spring flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils need at least a six-week period of cold weather before they can gestate any time from March to June. He says, “People used to plant them in spring, but bulbs don’t like heat; it was discovered they thrive in the cold. Donna Swansen suggests that because the selection is best right now for your October planting, this is the time to rush out to by those bulbs, which include crocus, hyacinth, snowdrops and more. Tip: be sure to plant them on days when the temperature dips to 50 or 60 degrees at night. Another tip on optimum bulb planting is to set them in the earth roughly three times their own height. And to be sure you’ll find them more easily, insert colored golf tees wherever you’ve planted your bulbs, color-coded by type. “That’s what we [professionals] do,” says Swansen. Fall garden enthusiasts like Liz Schumacher, owner of Garden Accents in West Conshohocken, also recommend dividing your perennials (such as peonies and Siberian irises) during the fall season. Because their roots take up so much space, their growth and development would be curtailed unless you tackled this physically demanding job once every three to five years. She suggests that once you’ve dug them up, throw away the middle section, pull them apart into maybe four new plants and replant them in other parts of your yard. They will reproduce readily into larger, more beautiful plants, which you can share with friends. Donna Swansen says, “We’ve kept a lot of plants growing for years because they live on in the gardens of friends.” Many homeowners have wooded areas on their property but no lure to draw them in for an enjoyable woodland walk. Solution? According to Swansen, fall is also the perfect time to plant colorful wildflowers that bloom in the spring. “Take advantage of the natural beauty of your own private woodland,” she says. “Tie a string from one tree to another and create a walkway, a meander, where anything interesting is visible – a rotted log, a moist spot, a boulder, an especially beautiful tree – and plant your wildflowers along that path.” White wildflowers, like the oddly named black snakeroot that blooms in June, give your wildflower walk a cooler appearance. She also suggests planting ferns, as primeval, wild and lovely a plant as you’ll find – like the evergreen Christmas fern, perfect for a winter garden walk, and the magical, delicate lady fern, which tolerates dry conditions. Children, too, love examining spores on the backs of ferns. Part of your garden game plan for the fall should include deer control. As lovely as these hungry animals may be, their overpopulation poses a serious threat. They can decimate a garden. To gain extra yardage for your garden, Liz Schumacher suggests fencing its perimeter with unobtrusive eight-foot black netting, and electronic fence or some other type of ultrasonic device. Donna Swansen also suggests planting things that deer will not eat. They find tulips delicious, but they shun daffodils (poisonous to deer), Allium, Astilbe, Corydalis, Begonia grandis and Dicentra. Jeff Hayes of Primex also recommends using the Scarecrow. With a motion-activated sprinkler that resembles a bird’s head and beak, the Scarecrow blasts water 25 feet for three seconds, waits seven seconds and is then ready for the next intruder. Not only deer but cats, dogs, raccoons, rabbits and large birds are easily repelled by this eco-friendly, chemical-free and humane solution to unwanted visitors in your garden. Fall is also a great season to plant shrubs bearing berries that attract our fine winged friends. Birds especially love Ilex verticillata (sparkle berry), a deciduous holly whose fruit persists all winter. Liz Schumacher says that bird feeders are especially popular garden accessories right now, and birds especially appreciate them in the winter. Here are a few more tips for fall gardeners. As the temperature begins to drop, be sure to take in your house plants that have been luxuriating outdoors and clean them up with insecticidal soap. Schumacher also suggests that all porous garden ornaments (like terra cotta) and any that collect water, such as bird baths, should be covered. This will prevent the cracking that occurs when water turns to ice. When the time comes, gather up all those soggy and smothering maple leaves to protect your flower beds. Later in the season, say November, when all the leaves have fallen from your deciduous trees, is the best time for pruning, for working over those branches that rub against and cross each other. Fall is also a propitious time to huddle over your catalogs to place your orders for fruit trees – apple, pear, peach, plum and cherry – before they run out of stock. Although fall is a great time to tackle projects that will assure your garden’s long-term health and beauty, you should also take time out to observe the fall colors in your most cherished outdoor space, especially as the season wears on. You have red maple and copper beech and yellow gingko trees. You have flowering shrubs like the orange rust of Fothergilla, which grows so well in the shade. Its evocative names match its exquisite colors – the creamy white Mount Airy and the blue green Blue Mist. Many late perennials, like black-eyed Susan and scabiosa (pin-cushion flowers) are still in bloom, as are purple, green and pink mums (like Japanese anemones) and winter pansies in every conceivable hue. Decorative cabbage and kale, with their evocative wheels of color, are also easy on the eye. Don’t incur a penalty for wasting this pecious time. Treating your garden well during this deason of mists and mellow fruitfulness makes enormous good sense. If you follow this very sensible game plan in the fall, you’ll be sure to have a touchdown garden in the spring. This article is reprinted from Montgomery Newspapers, September 16, 1998 edition.

Quattrone If you reside in the Delaware Valley, unless you’re an avid skier or live “to go down the shore,” your favorite season is a toss-up. It’s either the annual renaissance of spring, when all living things begins sprouting again or take to the outdoors, or it’s the season of “mists and mellow fruitfulness,” when nature’s palate is rich and lush and the air begins, ever so slightly, to chill. And if you love puttering in your garden, you probably know how great it is to put your hands in the warm but cooling earth to prepare it for spring’s rebirth. In case you’ve forgotten, the soil in these parts stays warm, with a fair amount of moisture, until well into January, so the time is ripe for planting. In the spring, since the earth has not completely thawed from winter’s frost, plants must work harder to put out their roots to reach for the sun. But in the fall, the roots are still ripe and ready for action. It’s the perfect time for bulb planting. Bulbs, in fact, do not like the heat. They actually thrive in the cold. Spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils and tulips need at least a six-week period of cold weather in order to gestate any time from March to June. Preparation for spring growth also involves choosing your bulbs for October plantings (including hyacinths, snowdrops and crocus) right now when the selection is best. And when the time comes, be sure to plant them on days when the temperature drops to 50 or 60 degrees at night. For optimum bulb planting, set them in the earth roughly three times their own height. And if you’ll take your cue from the professionals, you’ll insert color-coded golf tees wherever you’ve planted your bulbs, color-coding them by type. Here’s another project for fall garden enthusiasts – a demanding job that, fortunately, needs to be done only once every three-to-five years. That would be dividing up your perennials, whose roots take up so much space that their growth and development would be severely curtailed unless you divided them periodically. Once you’ve dug them up, toss away the middle section. When you pull them apart into four or more new plants ad replant them in other parts of your garden, they will reproduce nicely into larger, more beautiful plants which you can share with friends. Donna Swansen, co-founder of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, says, “We’ve kept a lot of plants growing for years because they live on in the gardens of friends.” Fall is also the perfect time to huddle over your seed catalogs to place your orders for fruit trees – apple, plum, peach, pear and cherry – before stocks run dry. Some more tips for fall gardeners: as the temperature begins to drop, you’ll want to relocate those plants that have been luxuriating outdoors into the comfort of your home. First clean them up with insecticidal soap. Also later in the season, when a carpet of soggy maple leaves blankets your flower beds, gather them up to prevent smothering. This is also a propitious time for pruning the branches of your deciduous trees, especially those that rub against and cross each other. Remember too to cover your terra cotta or any other porous garden ornaments that tend to collect water, such as bird baths. This precaution will prevent the cracking that occurs when water turns to ice. Speaking of birds, autumn is also a great time of year to plant berry-bearing shrubs that attract our fine feathered friends. They are especially drawn to sparkle berries (Ilex verticillata), a delicious holly whose fruit lasts well into the winter. And while you’re at it, be sure to pick up a bird feeder or two. Birds really appreciate them during the cold season. Oh, yes – and let’s not forget those other denizens of our well-tended gardens. As much as we enjoy watching deer from a distance, the recent explosion in the deer population presents numerous problems. They can easily decimate a garden. If fences make good neighbors, they can also keep deer out of harm’s way. You can choose any number of deterrents – from unobtrusive eight-foot black netting to an electronic fence or some other kind of ultrasonic device. You can also plant things that deer will not eat. Although they love snacking on tulips, they shun daffodils, which are poisonous to deer. Donna Swansen also suggests planting allium, astilbe, corydalis, dicentra and Begonia grandis. Another effective deterrent is the Scarecrow, a motion-activated sprinkler that resembles a bird’s head and beak. Whenever deer – or, for that matter, cats, dogs, raccoons, rabbits, large birds and other unwanted garden guests – show up, the Scarecrow blasts water 25 feet for three seconds, waits seven seconds, and then is ready for the next intruder. It’s an economical and humane method of dealing with this problem. But in the midst of all your projects and preparations, remember to take time out to observe the colors of fall in your most cherished outdoor spaces. There’s red maple and copper beech and yellow ginkgo trees. There are flowering shrubs like the orange rust of Fothergilla, which grows so well in the shade. There’s creamy white Mount Airy and blue-green Blue Mist. Late perennials, like scabiosa (pin-cushion flowers) and black-eyed Susans are still in bloom. So are purple, pink and green mums as well as Japanese anemones and winter pansies in every conceivable hue. And decorative cabbage and kale, with their evocative wheels of color, also catch the eye. You’d better believe that fall is a special time for your garden. Treating it well during this fruitful season not only gives you worthwhile ways to spend your time outdoors but also assures you a garden full of wonders come spring.

Sweat equity is the wave of the future in implementing residential garden designs, says Donna Swansen, local certified landscape designer. More couples are asking for a personal garden coach. This trend is fed by the plethora of programs that are available on cable TV that instruct the homeowner in do-it-yourself deck design, patio construction, walkway creation, cutting gardens, kitchen gardens and perennial borders. However, when homeowners start working on their ideas (usually after the third year of home ownership), their worry is they may be wasting their time or money. Or they may be growing plants that don \'t belong in this zone. (Do you know what zone you \'re in? Ambler \'s zone is 6B.) There are too many choices and they can \'t seem to create a coherent whole. Enter the search for a gardening coach. The idea can work if the home owner will seek out a professional landscape designer who specializes in this new form of garden installation. I recommend that couples with more taste than money investigate this option. What \'s good about it is the house owner gets to participate in an event that takes on the characteristics of a barn-raising or party. Usually couples have a few friends who owe them a favor that can be called in on planting day to add muscle to the planting effort. The homeowner provides lunch and liquids, the landscape designer helps with plant specification and design. The couple become willing workers thereby learning the secrets of the professional while being coached away from expensive mistakes. Sweat equity: is it your style of gardening? Sweat equity could be described as when a young couple serves as part of the work crew to install gardens on their own property with a professional calling the shots - i.e. the garden coach.

Swansen and five of her friends, then fellow students at Temple University \'s Ambler campus, wanted to honor the memory of the dynamic Bush Brown. Bush-Brown had organized Philadelphia \'s Neighborhood Gardens Association to sponsor horticultural beautification programs in low-income neighborhoods and at public housing projects. By the time it became part of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society \'s Philadelphia Green Program, more than 850 blocks had been planted. Said Swansen, We heard that Temple was going to put a plaque in the ground wasn \'t enough. The six of us decided that we would each maintain a planter in Ambler (PA) for a season. People liked the idea. Before we knew it we had more people who wanted to get involved. Many businesses got behind us. Now in our 28th year, Plant Ambler has 55 to 60 people maintaining planters, said Swansen. In addition to planting flowers, Plant Ambler has also participated in anti-litter and urban beautification projects. For the first 15 years, Swansen was president of Plant Ambler, followed by Denise Richards and now, Hilary Heckman. I was part of the group that had the vision that started Plant Ambler, but if it hadn \'t been for Denise Richards and Hilary Heckman who picked up and carried the ball, it wouldn \'t be what it is today, said Swansen. Maintaining flower beds and planters may seem like a small thing, but beautifying Ambler can have a very positive impact on the area overall. The typical home gardener may not appreciate the challenge of growing flowers along a busy road like Butler Avenue in Ambler. The hot, dry air created by thousands of cars a day is far from the ideal environment for plants. Donna Swansen started gardening at an early age, but wasn \'t successful at first. I had my first garden when I was 5. I planted a vegetable garden under a tree, which leafed out and it got heavily shaded and I had no vegetables at all. At 7, I tried again. I planted next to the house in the sun but next to a drain pipe and 18 packets of seeds floated away, she remembered. I \'m grateful to my fifth grade teacher, Miss Cook. Our teacher said we had to work in a Victory garden to get an \'A. \' After school, we would trot across the street from school to her back yard and work in her garden, she said. Swansen went into merchandising and was a buyer after completing school. She and her husband, Sam Swansen, a Blue Bell attorney, came to the Philadelphia area from Green Bay, WI, more than 30 years ago. They live in Whitpain and have three children and seven grandchildren. She had an interest in landscaping and gardening and enrolled in the Landscape Design program at Temple University. It took me 10 years to get through because I took a class at a time. I was involved with the Rising Sun theater and I had three kids to drive around. In 1987, Swansen was chairwoman of the Temple University display at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Donna Swansen Design is now in its 29th year. Swansen specializes in wildflower gardens, hummingbird gardens and butterfly gardens. She notes, I \'m really into fragrance and flowers. Plant Ambler is far from the only organization Swansen has founded, saying, I \'ve started six different organizations in my life. Among those is the Association of Professional Landscape Designers which now has 800 members. Looking back at how Plant Ambler began, Donna Swansen says, I personally, am very gratified that people are willing to carry on with the project. I have always been a champion of this little town, although I technically don \'t live in it. I feel like its quality of life affects all of us around it.
