If they are a little late they will do for the New Year. his is the time to start amaryllis and paper whites for Christmas flowers to arrange with the poinsettias. Some paper white bulbs may be held in the refrigerator to force for Valentine‘s Day. Half bury amaryllis using an indoor plant medium in a pot one inch larger than the diameter of the bulb. A good one temperature range is between 60°F and 65°F in a bright area not in direct sunlight. Let the surface of the growing medium dry out between waterâ€" ings.

Biodiversity: Helping Mother Nature Natural grown plants copy themselves into the future by seeds gradually improving on the species through mutations and selection. To match nature in the garden the plants must be suited to the conditions of the site and be seed grown, preferably using natural seeds. Planting some native plants in the garden, say around the outer are of the lot will contribute to protecting native plants without upsetting the more formal areas of the site. The natural areas must be designed to prevent conflict with neighboring gardens. Biodiversity requires colonies of plants in many adjoining areas. Isolated colonies inbreed and become cloneâ€"like over time. They need the addition of new strains. This is similar to people and the reason for the rule of marriage. We need many natural garden Paul Fray areas stretched across the contiâ€" nent and around the world to replace the areas being removed by farming, housing, burning and clear cutting. The problem is now being widely recognized. The School Ground Naturalization Programme began in 1991 in the Toronto area. It is now distributing $50,000 to schools across Canada in time for spring 1995 plantings. The 1994 mission statement of the State Garden Clubs in the USA included: ‘to encourage each garden club and club member to plant and promote wild flowers in their own gardens, in public places and along the nation‘s roadsides.‘ President Clinton has ordered that native species be planted in the gardens of all federal buildâ€" ings. Ontario has been working on a new Heritage Act for five years. This is to include the protection of landscapes and natural heritage. Historical and conservation organizations are to work together to preserve buildings and plants. The Heritage Seed Programme began in Canada in 1984. Members search out and preserve heirloom and endangered varieties of food and crop plants. Featured in the Garden Mart Publication for 1994 are two garâ€" dens for their use of heritage plants. Barbara Laking Memorial Garden in Hamilton is one. The Garden Clubs of Ontario donated Please inquire at 828â€"4332 about our Holiday tour and lunch offter for groups of 20 or more. # Marlin Travel Create an angel from any materials you like and enter it at The Stitching Post in the Lakeside Shopping Village Adult and children‘s entries will be judged on creativity, originality and craftsmanship.

What can we do? Talk to our children about biodiversity and about protecting their heritage plants. Encourage them to involve their schools. Start with them to research the subject. Plant some native plants in our own gardens and work to have plantings made in public areas. The Brooklyn Botanical Garden has just published "Going Native, Biodiversity in Our Own Backyards." This is a 112â€"page book showâ€" ing a number of native garden designs for nine of the ten Plant Provinces of North America. Some chapter headings are: ‘What is Biodiversity,‘ ‘Natural Landscape Basics,‘ ‘Where Neatnicks Need Not Fear To Tread,‘ and ‘A Biodiverse Garden For The City.‘ Each chapter shows a garden using native plants from the area and includes a selected list of about 80 plants that grow in that plant province. This is a short illustrated book detailing how to have a nice garâ€" den that furthers nature‘s bxodlver- sity needs by including native species. The book will soon be availâ€" able from stores.
