A non-profit corporation supporting the Los Angeles State and County Arboretum

Bonanza Bonus!

or 24 years Southern California
home gardeners have reaped the re-
wards of the oldest and best plant sale
around right here at the Arboretum.
Baldwin Bonanza XXIV, held this past April
29 through May I was no exception ...except in

one very dramatic respect.

Three days before the Friday night opening, an
unexpected and heavy barrage of hail pommelled
and defoliated choice plants specifically designated
for the annual sale. Volunteers and nursery staff
scrambled to minimize the damage, but this moth—
ball size downpouring shredded leaves and dumped
magnificent blossoms resulting in damaged plants
and messy debris.

As all gardeners know, plants are amazingly
resilient. The plants damaged by the hail have
had a chance to recover beautifully under the
tender attention and care of dedicated helpers in
the nursery.

We are grateful that we can now invite
Foundation members and non=members to bring
wagons and boxes to our Bonanza Bonus on
Saturday, June 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, in
front of the Foundation office, for the presenta-
tion and sale of these plants. Members will receive
a 10% discount on all purchases.

Shopping this special Bonanza means even
more critically needed revenue for the Arboretum.
This year the California Arboretum Foundation
(CAF) is committed to stronger financial support to
the Arboretum, due to the severe budget needs of
Los Angeles County. In any case, Bonanza profits
always make a pivotal difference in what happens
at the Arboretum.

Rescued revived plants include perennials,
vines, shrubs and drought tolerant plants. Be an
early shopper! And if you are not a CAF mem-
ber, stop by and become one.

Summer at the Arboretum
A Garden Oasis

This Spring the Arboretum was at its best.
The grounds looked great and the spring
flowering trees were spectacular. The
Tabebuia impetiginosa gave an outstand-
ing show.

FROM THE

Celebrate Summer

The following lines from the editorial

page of a new publication struck a chord:
“Like most Gardeners, I love morning

| best. When the early sun backlights the
leaves so you can see every vein; when

the dampness of dawn still clings to every
| blossom. Mornings are never too hot to

_ discourage-our plans; no flat reality
checks our enthusiasm. Morning air is

| heady with possibility — there is nothing

This summer, July through Septem-
ber, the Cassias should be at their finest.
In bloom they will produce bright yellow
flowers throughout the Garden.

The Summer is an excellent time to
come and visit the Arboretum. Our
summer theme, A GARDEN OASIS,
lends itself to the luxury of long summer
days in July and August. A special shady
walk has been developed just for these
days. There are also a number of cooling
water features throughout the garden.
Recently, we have had more regular
visitors who come to walk and sit in the
Home Demonstration Garden, or on a
bench under a nice shade tree to read.

The Arboretum is a safe beautiful
place to spend the day. You may spend

part of it in the historical section visiting

the Queen Anne Cottage, Coach Barn,

FOUNDATION

we can’t accomplish.” (Garden Design)

“Morning air ..... heady with possi-
bility” describes perfectly how we begin
the day at the Arboretum.

Many of the “possibilities” become
reality because of you, because of mem-
bership support. Bonanza is one ex-
ample; the Gift Shop another; class atten-
dance yet a third.

New realities are the Rose Garden
and the new pond in the Forest Area. If
you haven't yet visited these attractions,
you are in for a treat when you do.

The Arboretum’s summer theme,
GARDEN OASIS, addresses the possi-
bilities of cool, refreshing, and tranquil
moments for sitting, strolling or tram-
ming. New activities to enhance the Oa-
sis mood include a map for shady day
time walks and Tour and Taste Thursday
for twilight enthusiasts.

The Children’s Garden area known as
Roots and Shoots will host a new crop of
youngsters, each of whom anticipates the

Santa Anita Depot and the Hugo Reid
Adobe or sitting in the Victorian Rose
Garden, Herb Garden, Kallam Garden or
in the front of the waterfall.

My personal favorite is to walk to the
top of Tallac Knoll and relax by the
Aquatic Garden listening to the water,
birds, and the varied sounds of the
garden.

The Peacock Cafe has an exceptional
view and atmosphere with very good
lunches and snacks. You may want to
bring your lunch from home to enjoy
outside the gates under the pines.

On your next visit, bring a friend for
a walk through the garden and show them
how refreshing the Arboretum can be.

possibility of magic when a seed is planted.

Mark Beall, the Foundation’s new
Gardener for the entrance and the Demon-
stration Gardens area, will take advantage
of all possibilities open to him. His work
is echoed by the endeavors of the Sum-
mer horticultural students during their 10
week internship throughout the garden.

Day after day we become heady with
possibilities, but also remain keenly
aware that program and funding strategies
to address the proposed cuts in County

budget allocations are essential in order
for this oasis to thrive.

Encourage a friend or several to visit
the Arboretum and become a Foundation
member. We thank you for your interest
and every bit of support is welcome and
needed.

Happy Summer - come visit the Oa-
sis and celebrate its many possibilities! *

BETIIAND THE. SCENES

WITH JIM BAUML....
Senior Botanist

What picture does the title “Senior Bota-
nist” conjure up? An older scientific sort,
content with microscopes, plant speci-
mens and research papers? Perhaps. The
Arboretum’s Senior Botanist, Jim Bauml,
however, is a far cry from that image.

With a Bachelor’s degree, Summa
Cum Laude; from Texas A & M, a Mas-
ters of Science from Cornell, and quite
recently a PhD in Botany from Clare-
mont, Dr. Bauml supervises the scientific
activity, which is part of a Botanic
Garden’s purpose.

He reviews seed and plant lists from
other botanical gardens, collectors, and
nurseries in order to acquire interesting
new ornamental plants for testing. And
wherever a new exhibit is planned for the
Arboretum, Jim selects the appropriate
botanical plant material for installation.

Most recently, he identified the
aquatic flora to be placed in the new For-
est Area Pond; for both its ecological and
instructional value.

Education for all people of all ages is
of foremost interest to Jim. He envisions
the day when he can help develop an in—
house journal on botany and horticulture,
videos, give more lectures and regularly
scheduled tours.

Jim’s work has fascinating applica-
tion when one realizes he is a key re-
source to the Los Angeles Poison Control
Center which serves people endangered
by contact or ingestion of plant materials.

Ask him about almost any plant, and
his response is both complete and fun.
One example: Achillea or yarrow, Jim
explained was once called “nosebleed”.
Why? — because its properties were be-
lieved to stop nose bleeds.

From saving lives through poison
control to saving the environment for fu-
ture generations, Jim Baum] is a key lead-
er of the Arboretum’s scientific team.

The first thing Terry does each morn-
ing-when he arrives at the Arboretum Gift
Shop is open the front door; turn on the
lights; turn off the parking lot lights; turn
off the alarm; clean the windows and
sweep the front entrance. No detail is too
small and nothing escapes his attention.

The remainder of the day is filled with
analyzing sales trends; planning and gener-
ating budgets; producing computer sales
reports; restocking items; maintaining gen-
eral store appearance; and his own favorite,
shopping around for new and unique items
for his discriminating clients.

Stocking the store for each season is
“fun” for Terry. This gives him an oppor-
tunity to arrange displays according to the
season, special events and holidays. To
make sure the gift shop is kept up-to—date
with the newest trends, Terry meets regu-
larly. with sales representatives to preview
and order merchandise. Also on his desk
are piles of vendor catalogs which he
reads on a daily basis.

Along with the gift shop items, Terry
works with the Arboretum Foundation in
developing Arboretum memorabilia. Terry

brings into the shop special to
companion certain Foundation classes and
programs. He is an integral part of sales to
the public, which is important to the support
of the Arboretum, as all revenues revert to
the Arboretum budget.

“Having been to many botanical Gift
Shops, I am very proud of my volunteer
staff, the items we'sell and the appearance
of our displays,” said Terry. “I enjoy and
always look for new, different and unique
items to display in the shop.”

The success of the gift shop defi-
nitely reflects the talent, creativity and
personality of Bible.

This success also comes from his 48
volunteers who work in the gift shop, the
craft shop, and the plant shop. Terry
spends many hours training his volunteers

manage the store in his absence.

Terry’s background has always been
in retail. Prior to coming to the Arbore-
tum in 1991 he was at the Huntington
Library, Art Collections and Botanical
Gardens Bookstore, manager of new ac-
counts for Robinson’s Department Store
in Los Angeles, and manager/buyer of
the UCLA Student Store.

Educated at California State University
Northridge, Terry received his Bachelor of
Arts in Business and his AA in Business
Retail from Santa Monica College.

In addition to his responsibilities at
the Arboretum, Terry is a member of the
Los Angeles Conservancy, West Adams
Heritage Association, California Histori-
cal Society, National Trust for Historic
Preservation, Gamble House Pasadena,
Museum Store Associates and the Carl
Bean AIDS Care Center.

At the end of the day, the lights go off;
the alarm goes on; the doors are locked and
Terry leaves after another day of lending his
special skills to a very important part of the
Arboretum operation. 7

Plant a sot Specialist

What has happened to all the bees?
In years past, the Arboretum plant infor-
mation lines were busy with calls about
whom to call to remove bee swarms... For
the past two years these calls have been
non-existent.

Q. “Does this mean that bees have given
up swarming?”

A. “No.”

Q. “Does this mean that there are fewer
hives than there used to be?”

A. “Yes.”

The presence of bees is important to
gardeners interested in vegetables and fruits
that require pollination. Perhaps the focus
on the Africanized bee that is on its way,
has made the general population grateful
that there “seem”’ to be fewer bees.

A tip to gardeners: A new mite is in
town-that is parasitic on bees. The Varroa

mite hatches from an egg laid in the hive.
After a process our readers don’t want to
know about, the mite population builds up
and the weakened worker bees fail to make
it back to the hive at night. Bee population
drops, honey production suffers and the
hive usually starves to death over winter.

Here’s another tip: Conscientious
bee keepers do neighborhood gardeners a
favor by making European bees available
which is the best line of defense against
Africanized bees.

And yet another tip:
Blue bees may just be right

for you if you need polli-
nation for your trees and
plants.. As an example,

one and a half blue bees
can pollinate an average fruit tree. Blue
bees may be ordered from Mr. Tom
