GRACE GARDENS

The Canandaigua Botanical Society will be making a visit to
Grace Gardens, Penn Yan
Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 10AM.  
Grace Gardens features over 2300 daylily cultivars.  We will be meeting at its peak bloom before its annual open house so to catch the garden at its best.  The owners will be giving us a presentation on hybridizing daylilies.  Daylilies will be available for purchase.  Be sure to bring your camera!

Grace Gardens is located at 1064 Angus Road, Penn Yan, NY 14527  (about 9 miles south of Geneva off State Route 14).

*****  Although the weather was wet and stormy, we had a lovely morning at Grace Gardens.   Grace Gardens was established 21 years ago and has over 2000 varieties of daylilies.  Kathy showed us how hybridizing works by moving polin from one plant to another. Several folks selected day lilies to purchase and learned about naming and sustaining the many varieties of daylilies.*****

PLANTS OF GRIMES GLEN, Naples

SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2017   10 AM

Plants of Grimes Glen with Sandra Bierbrauer

Sandra is a FROGG (Friend of Grimes Glen) and will lead us through the lower portion of Grimes Glen.  Grimes Glen is a narrow, deep gorge cut through limey shale.  The first third of the gorge has an easily-walked path.  However, to see the middle and upper waterfalls, one must walk through the creek bed.

Directions: Head south from Canandaigua on Route 21 south to Naples.  Continue through the village of Naples and take a right onto Vine Street.  We will meet at 10 AM in the parking area at the end of Vine Street (public bathrooms available).

REPORT FROM OUR WALK:
Eight members met on a warm and sunny morning at the Grimes Glen parking area and were able to enjoy a comfortable walk along the trail towards the waterfalls.  Four members proceeded on to the first falls (getting their feet wet occasionally) and three members proceeded on through the water to the second falls.  Species list follows the photos.
