Glencarlyn Library Garden Spring Celebration and Plant Sale
#MGNV #MasterGardeners #plantsale CORRECT DATE! Come celebrate Spring in the Glencarlyn Library Community Garden!
Saturday, April 19, 2025 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (Rain or Shine)
PERENNIAL: Uvularia grandiflora (Large-flowered Bellwort)
#MGNV Tried and True #NativePlant Selections for the Mid-Atlantic
When planted en masse, graceful, nodding flowers create a lovely visage when they peek from under foliage, which also is attractive, especially to white-tailed deer. The discovery of this native wildflower in deciduous woodlands often signifies that the natural ground vegetation remains largely undisturbed.
New to the Glossary: Perianth, Calyx, Corolla, Petal, Sepal, Tepal
#MasterGardener #MGNV
Petals, usually the showiest parts of a flower, are designed to attract pollinators. Sepals, usually the green, leaf-like structure beneath the petals, protect a flower. When petals and sepals look alike, they are usually called tepals. Can you identify the petals, sepals, or tepals of the Hellebore above?
GRASS: Carex plantaginea (Plantain-leaved Sedge)
#MGNV Tried and True #NativePlant Selections for the Mid-Atlantic
The most ornamental of woodland sedges, this species, sometimes referred to as Seersucker Sedge, is generally found in rich mountain woodlands. In the garden it can fill many roles, substituting for popular non-native plants and even tolerating difficult dry shaded sites.
