Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens practices a policy of equal
opportunity & equal access to services for all persons regardless of race,
creed, color, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, orientation or
sex. Birmingham Botanical Gardens is a facility of Birmingham Park &
Recreation Board. The deadline for the Sept/Oct issue is July 15.
The heat of July and August can be simply brutal
on many plants – not to mention its effects on
gardeners. But some plants just seem to relish it. On
a walk through The Gardens now you’ll notice that
tropical plants love spending the summer outdoors
in Birmingham. Many of our top-performing
“annuals” are tropical, too; some, like coleus, are
tall shrubs in their homeland. Throughout The
Gardens, the displays of colorful annuals and lush
tropicals created by Director James Horton and his
staff are stunning, and the highlight for visitors this
time of year. Please don’t miss them!
I had a delightful conversation yesterday (in May, as I
write this). I was showing the new Sara Askew Jones
Arbor in the Hess Camellia Garden to a consultant
and a donor. A visitor came up the path with her
two grandchildren, and a look of surprise appeared
on all their faces. As I greeted her, she remarked on
how stately the arbor looked and that it wasn’t there
the last time she was. As the kids admired it, and the
last of the camellias hanging on in our cool spring,
she told us that she had been bringing the kids to
The Gardens since they could walk. She went on,
saying how wonderful it was to have a free public
garden here and how exciting it was to see so many
on-going improvements and projects.
This free garden – Birmingham’s urban oasis – and
these projects don’t happen without the publicprivate partnership between The Friends and the
City of Birmingham. We rely on the city and on
all of our supporters to make it happen. I told her
this and then inquired if she was a member. Clearly
embarrassed, she said she was not. So I encouraged
her to become one at whatever level she was able to
sustain, mentioning that it might be a good example
for her grandchildren. She said she would do it and
made a comment about her getting some skin in the
game.
Thanks to all of you for your “skin.”

Garden. Named
for the longtime

Editor at Southern
Living, the arbor was installed by
Robinson Iron Inc. and volunteer John
Jones. It was made possible through
a generous donation by the Jones
family, friends and former co-workers
at Southern Living, the Lucille S. Beeson
Charitable Trust, Rebar Express and
Ready Mix USA The arbor was also
made possible with in-kind service from
the City of Birmingham. It was designed
by former Southern Living Architecture

V o lu n t e e r s
Party in the Park
for Tree Volunteers
Henry Hughes, Director of Education
The rain of Sunday afternoon, April 28, didn’t dampen the celebratory
mood of a new community partnership drawn from the ranks of
Friends of George Ward Park, Glen Iris Neighborhood Association,
Little and Red Mountain Gardens Clubs, City of Birmingham and
Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The two garden clubs
hosted a party for some thirty volunteers, who had collected seed
from the oak and hickory trees in the park, had helped to plant the
seed and to grow the seedlings at The Gardens for a year, and had
planted one thousand seedlings in the park beneath the parent trees
and nurtured them into saplings. They gathered to celebrate the
completion of the five-year project. The rain stopped, two guitarists
played and a cake-as-big-as-all-outdoors, picturing the park trees and
stream, was cut. Speakers rose to the occasion, including Hope Cooper
of Friends of George Ward Park, Trudy Evans of Little Garden
Club, Stanley Robinson of Birmingham Parks and Recreation, Fred
Spicer and Henry Hughes of Birmingham Botanical Gardens and
City of Birmingham Councilwoman, Valerie Abbott, who represents
District 3 that includes George Ward Park. Following discussions
with Mayor William Bell, the tree planting project will continue this
fall in new areas of the city as part of the celebration of fifty years
of civil rights progress in Birmingham.

Volunteer Spotlight:
Administrative Angels
Taylor Steele, Volunteer Coordinator
Brenda Harbison and Mary Williams have spent countless hours supporting
numerous administrative tasks: monthly membership renewals, development
solicitations for upcoming fundraising events and even helping create beautiful
table arrangements for special events at The Gardens. It’s the generosity of each
that help sustain a non-profit organization like Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Both feel their strength comes
from a sense of ownership and passion for The Gardens’ mission.
Brenda has always had a personal interest in gardening and has been visiting The Gardens for years to enjoy the beauty
each garden offers. She volunteers because she enjoys the other volunteers she works with and she’s developed a friendship
with each. Spring Plant Sale is the event she looks most forward to each year, because she loves the energy and excitement
of the four-day event. When she is not at The Gardens, she loves photography and spending time with family.
Mary Williams loves to donate her time and talent to help other people and organizations like The Gardens. Mary also
enjoys volunteering at The Gardens because she enjoys the pleasantry and kindness of the staff and other volunteers.
Mary doesn’t stay at home. Before retiring, Mary worked for the Veteran’s Administration VA Hospital for 27 years as a
dental assistant.

Happy 5th Birthday!
The Gardens is pleased to announce the
Archives and Rare Book Room will be
turning five years old on August 22, 2013.
Archivist Jason Kirby never guessed that
The Gardens would select him to be its
first archivist, nor that the position would
eventually become permanent. “I cannot
believe it has been five years already. I have
watched the archives go from just a mere
idea, to a functional-working model. In such
a short amount of time, the word Archives
has become a common word amongst the
staff, volunteers and the public here at The
Gardens. I love watching the archives evolve
and grow, adding items to its collections for
future gardeners and historians to come.”
On August 22, the Archives and Rare Book
Room at The Gardens will celebrate its fifth
anniversary. The public is invited to join us
for cake, and the room will be open for
tours.
To learn more about the Archives and
Rare Book Room contact Jason Kirby,
library assistant and archivist, at jkirby@

Good Things Growing…
In The Gardens
Fred Spicer, Executive Director
Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) is beloved
for its care-free performance, large lemon-scented
flowers and dense, stately beauty. But it is disliked
for its immense size, often-imposing form
and “self-mulching” character. At first glance,
the dwarf cultivar ‘Little Gem’, introduced by
Monrovia Nursery in Azusa, CA, seemingly has
all the pros and none of the cons of the species.
Over time, however, ‘Little Gem’ shows it’s not
just the same thing in a smaller package. As such,
it’s a model for how plants should be evaluated:
on their own merits, not on their kin’s perceived
negatives.
‘Little Gem’ reminds us that “dwarf ” is a term
that’s relative only to the normal size of typical
trees, not humans. Southern magnolia can easily
grow over 80’ tall, and much more than half as
wide. To my mind, any size less than or equal to
half of that qualifies as dwarf. At nearly 40’ tall and 20’ wide, the ‘Little Gem’ in the
Ireland Iris Garden (above left) is the tallest I’ve seen (and supposedly the first one
planted in Birmingham). In 25 years, it has surpassed the 20-25’ mature size listed in
almost all of the web and print references I checked. (But it is a dwarf.)
Key parts of ‘Little Gem’ are smaller, too, than
those of the species. Leaves, flowers (left) and fruit
are nicely proportional to each other, though, and
less messy, if tidiness beneath your specimen is
important. Widely touted for screening, ‘Little
Gem’ fails in this regard if by “screen” one means
“barrier.” It is rather see-through, even in full sun
(more in shade), which shouldn’t be a surprise
really: there’s just less of it. On the plus side, it
takes repeated pruning, and that will increase its
density somewhat.
Perhaps more so than any other cultivar, ‘Little
Gem’ flowers when very young and is strongly
remontant (re-blooming). Heaviest flowering
occurs in May-June and again in the fall,
but sporadically through the summer as
well (right). The spring flowers are borne
on old wood (mostly nascent flower
buds embedded in the overwintering
terminal buds) and later flowers on new
wood.
6
‘Little Gem’ is a tough, beautiful and
useful tree, and very aptly named. It
pays to view this tree in the light of
what it offers, not what it doesn’t.
Garde ning Tips
for July and August
July
•
Protect figs and other ripening fruit from
birds.
•
Continue to root shrub cuttings until
late in the month and mulch to keep soil
moist.
•
Remove faded blooms promptly from
crape myrtle and other summer-blooming
plants.
•
In lawns, watch for diseases. Mow
regularly, and water as needed.
•
Keep roses healthy and actively growing.
•
Apply fertilizer as needed. Wash off foliage
to prevent burning if any fertilizer falls on
plants.
•
Water annuals and perennials as needed to
keep plants active.
•
Iris and spider lily bulbs may be planted
late this month.
•
Keeping flowers, shrubs, trees, and lawns
healthy is the major task this month. This
demands close observation for insects and
diseases, and frequent watering.
•
Plant beans, field peas, rutabagas,
squash, New Zealand spinach, and Irish
potatoes. Plant cabbage, collards, broccoli,
cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and celery for
the fall crop.
•
Plant tomatoes in Central and North
Alabama.
August
•
Cut out old blackberry canes after fruiting
and then fertilize and cultivate for
replacement canes. Remember to order
new catalogs for fruit selection.
•
Layer branches of hydrangea.
•
Hybrid teas and floribundas may need
slight pruning to prevent scraggly
appearance.
•
Water annuals and perennials as needed to
keep plants active.
•
Plant perennials and biennials.
•
Divide old iris plantings and add new
bulbs.
•
Keeping flowers, shrubs, trees, and lawns
healthy is the major task during this
month. This means close observation for
insects and diseases.
•
Plant turnips, rutabagas, beans, and peas
in South Alabama.
•
Plant cabbage, collards, cauliflower,
Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and celery.

Meet Our 2013 Summer Interns
Caroline Rowan
Birmingham-Southern
College Summer Intern
The Birmingham Botanical Gardens
is pleased to host its first intern from
the Urban Environmental Studies
program at Birmingham-Southern
College. Caroline Rowan is a rising
junior majoring in biology with minors
in urban environmental studies and
psychology. After graduation she plans
to pursue a career in field biology. A
long-time visitor of The Gardens,
she credits it as one of the first places
to spark her interest in the natural
world. Her passion for nature and
learning makes The Gardens a great
environment for her ten-week summer
internship.
Caroline will be participating with
staff, volunteers and other interns
in a wide variety of activities at The
Gardens. Her special project will be
to evaluate the success of planting
native tree seedlings and establishing
natural vegetation over the last five
years in a forested section of George
Ward Park in Birmingham. Half of the
stipend that Caroline receives is funded
by Birmingham-Southern and half is
funded by the Little Garden Club and
the Red Mountain Garden Club, who
provided funding for the park planting
project.
