Volunteerism inspires me, too. Last year, over 1,200
volunteers gave of 28,000 hours to The Gardens. That
amounts to more than 14 full-time staff positions,
and over $650,000 in in-kind support. I’m humbled
every day by such devotion. It’s unforgettable.

Achievements like these are only possible with your
help – and the more you do, the more we can do. So
I’m respectfully asking you to do more if you’re able
to do so. How? Give us more volunteer hours. Move
up a membership level or two. Give memberships
as gifts. Make a charitable year-end donation – or a
bigger one! Remember us in your estate planning, and
please let us know so that your dedication can be an
inspiration to others.

I’m also inspired by the various public programs
we produce each year and the tens of thousands of
people we engage. You can read about all of them
in our most recent summary at www.bbgardens.org/
education, but one tidbit I’m tremendously proud
of is that more than 98% of the 14,000 children
who participated in our education and other public
programs did so completely free of charge. And
that number has been at or above 95% for more
than five years. Please read that report! It will take
fifteen minutes of your time and I promise you will
be surprised (and maybe more than just a little bit
proud).
Lastly, as we wind down the calendar on this, our 50th
year, we’re deeply grateful for all the support we have
received in 2014, and to the individuals, businesses,
foundations and organizations who have provided it.
I hope The Gardens continues to inspire you.

of color transforms The
a group of talented and
with the Lobby Flowers
Redmont Neighborhood
The Gardens are about plants and flowers, so it makes
sense to promote the appreciation of plants through the
creative school of floral design in the Garden Center
lobby.
William Wong and Zhaleh McCullers are two of the
talented volunteers who bring beauty and color to our
arrival area.
William Wong spends most of his workday assisting
people with mailing their packages around the world, but
at least once a month he shares his talent of floral design
and arrangement by creating stunning arrangements for
the lobby. Mr. Wong stated that he enjoys the process
of creating an arrangement just as much as the finished
product.
His style is best described as clean and proportionate.
Influenced by his love for the art of Ikebana - a style
of arrangement that often emphasizes other areas of
the plant, such as its stems and leaves - draws emphasis
toward shape, line and form. Though Ikebana has some
open tenets of creative expression, it does maintain certain
rules governing its expression.
Zhaleh McCullers
William Wong
Zhaleh McCullers’s arrangements come from her love of
art in any form. She believes the traits of creativity and
the imagination within the artist can turn anything in our
environment into art. Zhaleh lives by the belief that you
create arrangements through your house at any time (she
has a bowl of fruit and vegetables on display in her kitchen
every week). Zaleh’s interest in flower arranging started
over 26 years ago, and was influenced by her husband’s
grandmother, Mrs. Aileen Kelly. Whenever they found
a Sunday afternoon free, they would drive through the
countryside picking wildflowers. Zhaleh recalled they
always picked enough to create an arrangement upon their
return home
Zhaleh has always loved using Queen Anne’s lace in her
arrangements. She says, “They are so delicate, beautiful,
and go with everything.” Zhaleh believes her style is an
eclectic and carefree look with a more monochromatic
theme.
“If I want to create an elegant, timeless, and sophisticated
look, I go with roses and make a robe ball with no other
filler except leaves or baby’s breath.”
Other areas where Zhaleh’s creative talents are expressed
are in her interest in designing one-of-a-kind beaded
jewelry and interior decorating.
We’re fortunate to have a team of wonderful and talented
volunteers like William and Zhaleh that share their passion
and gift for floral design with us every week.

News
from the Archives & Rare Book Room
By Jason Kirby, library assistant & archivist
We are very excited to announce a new addition to
The Archives and Rare Book Room in honor of
Carl Frederick Mattil (1933-2007): three Victory
Garden posters. These three vintage posters
cover the time period from War World I to War
World II. Each poster has beautiful illustrations
and are like taking a walk back in time; they
show the importance of gardening, stretching
resources and the strength of our military. Each
poster makes you very proud to be an American
and a gardener, and shows the American resolve
to push forward in times of crises. Mattil was
the City Horticulturalist who ran The Gardens
before it had an
official director.
He was also a
military veteran
and loved his
vegetable garden.
He retired as
the Director of
Horticulture and
Urban Forestry
for the City of
Birmingham
where he was
employed
for
over 34 years.

Gardening
Good Things Growing…
In The Gardens
Fred Spicer, executive director & CEO
In our area, Japanese maples offer dependable
and beautiful fall color that peaks in mid- to
late November. In addition, they are generally
pest-free and surprisingly drought tolerant
once established. The inherent genetic
variability in the species, Acer palmatum, is
staggering and 1,000+ cultivars have been
selected over its centuries-long cultivated
history. Dozens—if not hundreds—can
be found in the retail and mail order trade
and differences in size and form make them
indispensable in almost every garden. This
surfeit makes writing anything less than an
encyclopedia inadequate (and for those please
visit our library!), thus this focus on one of my
favorites, which is an excellent performer at
The Gardens.
‘Katsura’ is a older selection of Acer palmatum,
apparently named for the Katsura Imperial
Villa in Kyoto, Japan; it may have originated
on those grounds or been given the name
as a deserved honorific. In any case, it is a
spectacular large-growing form of the species
that was selected for the brilliant color change
of its newly-emerging leaves in spring. A
number of cultivars have been developed for
such characteristics. And with flowers that are
6
not obviously ornamental, why not? After all, leaves last
much longer than flowers do.
In early spring, usually mid-March for us here, ‘Katsura’
leaves emerge a dusky orange (above left), distinctly different
from typical red- or green-leafed varieties. As the stems
quickly elongate, the leaves turn deep yellow suffusing to
reddish-orange at the margins (above right and lower left).
Soon after, the entire leaf goes to brilliant chartreuse, lighting
up any setting (upper left). Finally, as the growing season
heats up, the leaves turn a medium-green,
showing no hint of what occurred earlier.
The entire changeover happens in about a
six weeks. In fall, the color change happens
almost in reverse before the final show of
intense orange-red, with orange-yellow
highlights (below left).
Different sources list ‘Katsura’ as growing
to different sizes, but my research (and
experience) indicates that this is a small tree
form, wider than tall, with a dome-shaped
habit to 25’ tall and maybe more over time.
A final caveat regarding what the literature
says about Japanese maples: sizes and growth
rates are larger and faster, respectively, in the
southeastern US than in the northwestern US,
Europe and Japan, and much of the literature
emanates from the latter three locations.

The Lady
With All The Answers
by David Rambo
drawn from the life and letters of Ann Landers
with the cooperation of Margo Howard
performed by Dolores Hydock
Before there was Oprah, before there was Dr.
Laura or Judge Judy, there was Ann Landers. For
decades, the renowned advice columnist
answered countless letters from lovelorn teens,
confused couples, and a multitude of others in
need of advice. No topic was off-limits,
including housekeeping au naturel, sports
equipment in the boudoir, and other hot topics.
But whatever the subject, Landers always regaled
Ann Landers
her readers with direct, insightful, and often
humorously honest responses.
Dolores Hydock stars in the one-woman play,
where we find Ann Landers in her Chicago
apartment, struggling to write the column that
would become one of the most famous she
would ever compose. Come spend an evening
with the woman who seemed like family to
millions of readers who had breakfast with her
-- or at least her advice -- every morning.
