Sarah Bracey White asked me to get the word out about a flower show in Greenburgh on Sept. 14-15.
Here’s her email:
“Parkway Gardens/Parkway Homes Garden Club will sponsor their 5th consecutive Fall Standard Flower Show at Greenburgh Town Hall Friday, September 14th and Saturday, September 15th, 2007.
“On Friday morning, accredited judges from National Garden Club, Inc. will view the show and make awards using NGC standards. The garden club show will include floral designs, youth exhibits, horticulture, and floral specimens from community members.
“In 2003, after a long hiatus, the 50 year old community garden club resumed its annual flower show.
“The public is invited to view the show Friday afternoon between 2:30 and 7 pm and Saturday, from 9 am until noon. There is no admission charge.
“For more information, contact club president Gwen Cort at (914) 428-8513. The Parkway Gardens/Parkway Homes Garden Club Flower show is co-sponsored by the Greenburgh Arts and Culture Committee.
“Greenburgh Town Hall is located at 177 Hillside Avenue, Greenburgh, NY. The building is handicapped accessible.”



Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
