Email from Julia Brine about the upcoming Great Swamp Celebration and Art Show in Pauling:
“On Saturday October 18, 11am – 5pm, and Sunday, October 19, 1pm – 4pm, Friends of the Great Swamp (FrOGS) welcome Duncan and Julia Brine of Horticultural Design, Inc. to the annual Great Swamp Celebration and Art Show at Christ Church on Quaker Hill in Pawling, NY.
“The Brines will be on hand to discuss native plants and they will be handing out a list of butterfly favorites that flourish in their 6-acre garden.

“Duncan Brine is the principal of Horticultural Design, Inc., a landscape design and installation company, specializing in native plants and naturalistic gardens since 1984. He is also an instructor at The New York Botanical Garden and the New England Wild Flower Society.
“The FrOGS Art Show and Celebration is a fun, treasured local tradition and engages the whole family. Local conservation information is combined with a slide show of the swamp, live birds of prey, nature and ecological exhibits, great food, and beautiful artwork from area artists, both adult and children.

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.
