Slideshow: The Vermont Flower Show 2019 - Seven Days

Hundreds of spring bulbs — along with flowering trees and shrubs — sprouted at the Champlain Valley Exposition during the 19th Vermont Flower Show. From Friday, March 1, through Sunday, March 3, more than 10,000 visitors experienced the tantalizing colors and smells of early spring.The Vermont Nursery and Landscape Association/GreenWorks produces the show every two years, relying on sponsors, VNLA members and associates to fund the show — and contribute hundreds of hours of volunteer effort. It takes roughly 350 volunteers to set up, staff and take down the show.Imaginative displays evoked this year's theme: "Wonder — A Garden Adventure for All Ages." Vendors from across the region brought their wares. The full schedule of programming included demonstrations, seminars, and activities for gardeners, along with family-room performances by Magician Tom Verner, Mr. Chris and Friends, and No Strings Marionette Company. A plant sale at the conclusion of the show helps send the plants and shrubs to new homes.

The event is held every other year, said Ashley Robinson, a member of the board of directors with Green Works, which organizes the event. More than 100 vendors and about 10 nonprofit organizations were also in attendance.Each year, the event features a "grand garden display" and a number of vendors.

At the end of the show, many of the plants from the display are sold.The display spanned most of one room, and visitors walked by Wendy's house, a clock tower, a waterfall and lagoon with a skull-shaped rock, and more.

Centenarian celebrates with family, friends, flowers and food. - Plattsburgh Press Republican

PLATTSBURGH — On a bright, sunny day, with a gentle breeze from Lake Champlain, Thelma Neveu smiled softly as her guests sang "Happy Birthday" to honor the 100 years she has lived.The serenade was followed with a toast of sparkling white grape "champagne." Licking her lips, she smiled and nodded her head in approval.More than 20 friends and neighbors stopped by throughout the day with gifts of flowers, candy, cards and well wishes. She was happy to see them all. Everyone received a party favor — a collection of nuts, fruit and chocolate wrapped in a red-checked tea towel, adorned with embroidered birds — thoughtfully created by her niece, Sylvia Morelli.TOP STUDENTOne hundred years is a long time.Thelma McAllister was born on Aug. 4, 1916, in Mooers Forks.That year, Charlie Chaplin had signed on with Mutual Studios, earning an unprecedented $10,000 a week; the Professional Golfers Association of America was created; a Boeing aircraft flew for the first time; and construction was nearly complete on the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City.Her parents, Steph... http://www.pressrepublican.com/news/local_news/centenarian-celebrates-with-family-friends-flowers-and-food/article_84c9e92b-7660-5643-b6d7-6f7d42a58d56.html

Growing Together: Everything's coming up roses - INFORUM

Very floriferous white.• Morden Sunrise—Vivid yellow-orange.• Prairie Joy—Medium pink. Good hedge rose.• Prairie Snowdrift—Creamy white.• Winnipeg Parks—Medium red.• Alexander Mackenzie—Deep red.• Champlain—Dark red.• J.P. Connell—Lemon yellow.• John Cabot—Medium red.• John Davis—Medium pink.• Quadra—Dark red.• Pavement series—Purple, scarlet, white types.• Henry Kelsey—Rosy-red. One of the best climbers.• William Baffin—Rose-pink. Excellent climber.• Ramblin' Red—Red climber.• Other older hardy types: Hansa, Persian Yellow, Therese Bugnet, Topaz Jewel, Wild Woods Rose.Where can we find these roses? Our best bets are locally-owned garden centers who cater to our regional needs better than national chains seem to.Rose-growing tips• Roses appreciate well-drained soil high in organic material. Add 3 or 4 inches of compost, peatmoss or manure and incorporate into soil.• Potted roses can be planted all season. Planting by mid-summer gives them more time to establish. Give late-planted roses protective mulch during the first winter.• Roses bloom best with at least six hours of direct sun daily.• Mulch soil around roses with 3 inches of shredded bark or cocoa bean mulch to keep soil cool and moist.• Landscape rock is less preferable for roses, because of its tendency to trap heat.• Roses prefer 1 inch of water weekly from rain or sprinkling. Water only the soil, Avoid wetting the leaves to help prevent foliage disease.• Fertilize at least monthly beginning in April, but ending in late July so plants "harden off" by winter.• Trim off withered blossoms down to the first five-leaflet leaf below the flower, which results in a greater flush of new buds.Diseases and insectsRoses can be troubled with fungus diseases including powdery mildew (white coating on leaves) and black spot (black circular lesions and yellowed foliage) plus foliage-chewing insects. Best control is a regular weekly preventative spray or dust program with combination fungicide/insecticide rose products before symptoms appear.Own-root vs. graftedIn the past, most roses were grafted, as evidenced by the visible graft knob between stems and roots, which is still used on some roses. But if the tops winter-kill, the variety is lost. However most of the Canadian and other hardy roses are grown from cuttings, and called "own-root," meaning that even if the tops suffer injury, the regrowth from the base will be true to form. Planting the crown (spot between stem and roots) below soil level helps protect the growing points.Don Kinzler, a lifelong gardener, worked as an NDSU Extension horticulturist and owned Kinzler's Greenhouse in Fargo.

To find the places recommended on these lists, we polled hundreds of stylish and savvy New Yorkers and begged them to tell us their go-tos. The result: our own Yellow Pages, containing only excellent places.
