SUMMARY:VNLA Summer Twilight Tour 7/24/24 @Terra-logic Landscape Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Discover a hidden gem transformed into a diverse park-like sanctuary. \nEvent Details: \n\nTime: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM\nLocation: 1141 Clay Point Road\, Colchester\, VT\nLimited Space: Parking available at the first gravel drive entry; approximately 15-20 spots\n\nHighlights: \nAlthough often referred to as a private garden\, we see this space as more of a small park with diverse and unique destinations. It features meandering paths\, a varied palette of plants and trees\, opportunities for frog-watching\, abundant bird and wildlife activity\, and sculptures by local artists. With its mix of sun and shade\, the space offers a serene and dynamic environment. \nThe park serves multiple purposes: it hosts private concerts\, performances\, martial arts practice\, painting classes\, and meditation sessions. The koi pond\, discreetly screened\, provides its own unique ambiance. \nOne of the most remarkable aspects is the transformation of the front acre. Originally a flat\, open field with only two black locust trees\, it has evolved over the past 20 years into a lush\, diverse landscape filled with carefully curated plantings and natural beauty. \nPlease RSVP:  hello@vnlavt.org.  Learn more HERE. Please RSVP early as space is limited and drop-ins cannot be accommodated

SUMMARY:Plastic Pot Recycling Program
DESCRIPTION:What Can Be Recycled:\nAll containers and plastic pots of any size (1 gal\, 2 gal\, etc.) with the #2 and #5 plastics designation/symbol can be recycled. When bringing pots to VNLA collection sites\, please ensure they are separated into two groups: #2 plastics in one group and #5 plastics in another. Remember\, all pots must be empty\, with no tags or trash\, though they do not need to be cleaned. \nHow Can Pots Be Recycled:\nWhen dropping off pots\, they must be sorted according to their plastic type—#2 plastics and #5 plastics. VNLA members can also opt to construct their own pallets and bring them to the collection sites. Please note that pallets should be no taller than 7 1/2 feet and must be loadable via a forklift. See the provided photo for a reference. \n\n

SUMMARY:Grow Wild: Trialing Lawn Alternatives at Burlington Cemeteries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening evening as we explore sustainable landscaping practices . In 2022\, Grow Wild was invited to assist with trialing lawn alternatives on steep banks within Burlington’s cemeteries. They planted directly into the existing turf to preserve native plants\, reduce soil disturbance\, and minimize their carbon footprint. \nTheir trials include planting shrub thickets\, such as a “bearberry thicket” under conifers\, to eliminate the need for mowing. This year\, they are expanding their efforts with two new “low mow” trials: a “low prairie look lawn\,” which will require only annual high mowing\, and a large meadow area\, part of which will be mowed annually to maintain habitat. \nDuring the event\, they will share their successes and challenges\, including issues with lawn blisters\, crabgrass\, ground ivy\, black locust sprouts\, and bird-dropped seedlings\, along with our evolving solutions. This is a unique opportunity to learn about ecological landscaping and discuss the future of these trials with fellow enthusiasts. \nRSVP: hello@vnlavt.org \nNote: attached a satellite view map showing suggested parking locations. Please don’t block the one way drive.

DESCRIPTION:July 17\, 2025 – 6pm – 8pm\nHidden Gardens Tour\n693 Lewis Creek Road\nHinesburg\, VT  05461\nRefreshments and snacks will be served.  There is no fee to attend.\nPlease RSVP:  kristina@vnlavt.org\n\n\nA little more than 35 years ago\, owner Marcia Pierce and garden designer/garden builder\, Paul Wieczoreck\, began a collaboration that lasted until Marcia’s passing three years ago. From an initial foundation planting featuring late 80’s classics such as spreading yews junipers and PJM rhododendrons\, the gardens have grown continuously in scale and diversity and now cover over two acres. The bi-level garden\, connected by a constructed cascading stream through a woodland garden\, features a variety of specimen woody ornamentals which provide the framework for a host of herbaceous plants. The upper garden level where the home is located\, includes a unique walled sunken garden\, a rock garden and a conifer garden\, all knitted together by a fine collection of herbaceous perennials. The lower level\, carved out of a beautiful forest adorned with two ponds and a natural stream\,  contains a series of island beds anchored by maturing\, slow-growing conifers. \n\nAlthough not the hard core plant lover his wife was\, Marcia’s husband Peter McNaull has continued to maintain this very special Vermont garden\, and is always eager to host garden enthusiasts from throughout the region.  We hope you can join us for this very special tour led by Paul Wieczoreck.

Main Street\nSt. Albans\, VT  05478\nRefreshments and snacks will be served.  There is no fee to attend.\nPlease RSVP:  kristina@vnlavt.org\nVNLA member Kelly Wakefield is the garden curator and tree stewardess of this historic public park. She and her husband maintain the St. Albans downtown streetscape plantings.  We will meet at the gazebo near the fountain to begin the tour. \nTaylor Park is a 4-acre oasis of tranquility offering respite from small town urban life.  The park was established in 1792 and named after Colonel Holloway Taylor\, who donated the land in 1870.  You can listen to the water splashing in the Historic Fountain “The Ladies” from the 1880’s (recast in the early 2\,000’s) and see pollinators buzzing around the formal Promenade Gardens. \nAs we stroll down Main Street you will learn about the streetscape plantings\, rain gardens and the municipal hanging baskets. The mood changes as you head to the south end of the park where the large maples dominate the park.  Along the back of the park is an impressive 700 foot garden with many shrubs and hardy perennials.\n\nCome and learn some Vermont history as you enjoy this fantastic community green space. \nParking is available at St.Marys Parish Hall on Hospital Drive next to the Army tank or behind the St. Albans Museum.  You can also use any public parking space along the park.  Bathrooms are available in the new Sugar House within the park.
