Elderberry Seminar with Judith Nastally; Saturday, August 8

Judith

Help create a moment in the garden with me! Celebrating the ripe native elderberries through its history and uses.  Learn to identify the plant, and how to harvest it; where it grows and the best places to plant; and gain helpful cautionary information about wild harvesting and more!

During the event you will acquire firsthand knowledge of harvesting berries and using them make syrup for everyday use. We’ll then have a gluten and dairy free tasting of the syrup with goat cheese and crackers, ice cream, and soda!

Each person will also receive their own gift bag containing a recipe for the elderberry syrup, a sample of the elderberry syrup we’ll make, and a bottle of old fashioned, locally grown and made maple syrup from Alter’s Family Farms.

There will also be opportunities to purchase native elderberry shrubs and join in on an art project for your own garden.

There’s a limited number of tickets.  So get yours now!

2022 In Review

Judith

As we are getting ready for the 2023 season we wanted to share a few photos from 2022. We put lots of fresh native plants in the ground and maintained many previously installed gardens where the growth of plants over time is able to be seen.

Part of the landscaping business sometimes includes missing out on the chance to see a project grown over time. We are especially grateful to have customers who hire us for maintenance work, giving us the opportunity to see and enjoy our work season after season. If you’re needing help maintaining your landscaping gardens this spring give us a ring!

Judith’s in the Journal Gazette

Judith

This past Sunday’s edition of the Journal Gazette featured an article in the Living section discussing the benefits local gardeners have discovered planting native plants in their gardens. The writer of the article, Terry Richardson, interviewed Judith and photographed her home garden to share with the city. There is much excitement in the increased interest that native plants are receiving these days. We at J. Lynne Associates are happy to see these plants getting the attention they need for the benefit of our local ecosystem!

Here is a clip out of the article for you to read. Enjoy!

‘Native Friendly Trees, Shrubs & Perennials’ Presentation at Sophia’s Portico

M. Alejandro Soto

This month Judith will be giving a presentation at Fort Wayne’s Sophia’s Portico on the use of native plants in gardens. This program will briefly touch on the origin of ideas about gardens which come mainly from Europe. You will learn how to help our environment with native plants and will be enticed to plant these wonderfully effective, functional members of our region. Come discover the interactions between plants and insects which hold keys to supporting our pollinators. Fall is a great time to learn how to be apart of this environmentally friendly growing trend.

The presentation costs $15 to attend and will be held on October 17 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.
