Sonnenberg Gardens
The weather forecast was COLD AND WET on Saturday, March 25th at Sonnenberg Gardens as 20 of our hardiest met to hear the UNTOLD STORY OF FREDERICK FERRIS THOMPSON.
Sonnenberg Gardens Director, David Hutchings, met with us before he headed out to do some chainsaw work. He told us about upcoming events at Sonnenberg including a visit from Claudia West.
We began our tour through the greenhouses with Sonnenberg's Volunteer and Education Coordinator, Pam Gangloff. First through the future Rain Forrest...
Then passed the orchids... (Sonnenberg's Orchid show is April 21-23, 2017)
and the succulents...
and into the conservatory...
We then settled for a bit in the warm and dry Head House where volunteers meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to assist around the gardens. It was here that Barb Stahl did a wonderful job sharing with us the research that she has put together about Frederick Ferris Thompson.
After our time with Barb we were invited to walk the garden grounds with Pam and Barb.
Our gratitude to Barb and Pam for a wonderfully warm welcome to Sonnenberg. Our hopes are to continue into research with Sonnenberg using Canandaigua Botanical Society records. Anyone interested in helping out in this endeavor should let us know at canandaiguabotanical@gmail.com.
If you are interested in becoming more involved with Sonnenberg please contact volunteers@sonnenberg.org or check out http://www.sonnenberg.org/volunteer/
You may also plan to attend the volunteer recruitment event on April 22!
Barb combed through years of Frederick's diaries to find numerous accounts showing that he was a naturalist and that he kept good company with the Canandaigua Botanical Society founding member Dr. Jewett. Barb created two books that she gifted to the Canandaigua Botanical Society filled with entries from 1864-1881.
Our gratitude to Barb and Pam for a wonderfully warm welcome to Sonnenberg. Our hopes are to continue into research with Sonnenberg using Canandaigua Botanical Society records. Anyone interested in helping out in this endeavor should let us know at canandaiguabotanical@gmail.com.

We will meet at the Admissions Gate inside Sonnenberg
Gardens, 151 Charlotte Street at 10:00 AM.
Barb Stahl will take us on a unique tour of Sonnenberg
focusing on Frederick Ferris Thompson and his diaries which tell of his fervent
interest in nature. We hope that this
event will seed future research into the connections between Frederick’s later
years and the earliest years of the Canandaigua Botanical Society. Perhaps you will be interested in ongoing
studies of past histories to build a supportive relationship between Sonnenberg
