Region 15 Summer Meeting 2008 - Tour Gardens


AHS Region 15 Summer Meeting June 20-21, 2008 Charlotte, NC hosted by the Peidmont Daylily Club home hotel schedule tour gardens open gardens registration Return to Region 15 Website	Tour Gardens We have four gardens lined up for your viewing pleasure, each offering a different way to enjoy your daylilies. There's a spacious country garden with water feature accents, a hybridizier's garden featuring northern hardy daylilies, a suburban garden that is also an AHS Display Garden, and also a charming city english garden. Betty Brown Betty Brown's garden is just loaded with gorgeous water features (no less than seven, in fact!), some connected with flowing streams that Betty built mostly by her self! You'll most definitely want to see the fruits of this amazing gal's hard work! The garden is very large and consists of daylilies, hosta, climbing roses, vines, and enough perennials and annuals to 'just die for'! Arbors and garden statuary add to the hardscape of her fabulous garden. Be sure to look for the seedling bed, so you can vote for the Carolina Seedling Award! Betty has recently added a heart shaped bed as a wonderful new feature for this event. You will find a large number of Region 15 hybridizers' plants in this garden too, as well as many other new and older daylilies. This garden is in the country but worth the drive when you arrive, a garden you do not want to miss! Judy Davisson The Davisson garden is located on a one acre space in a very nice suburban development on the west side of the very scenic Lake Norman... near Mooresville. The garden, moved from Michigan just three years ago (via Judy's colossal effort!), contains a large collection of newer introductions from northern hybridizers. Since this is a hybridizing garden, Judy's gardens include many future introductions and an abundance of very unique seedlings of her own, as well as hosted futures from other hybridizers. The main focus of Judy's hybridizing effort is extra large and showy flowers on taller scapes. Indeed, you can certainly see them 'from afar'! Judy has registered 26 of her own gorgeous introductions with colorful names such as 'Redheaded Hussy', 'Little Big Ears', 'High Falootin' Floozie', 'Riot On The Kindergarten Bus', and 'Till I Turn Purple'. She has also co-registered two Howard Hite cultivars and three Al Goldner cultivars. Judy will have on display all of her 2008 introductions, delaying their sale until after the tour. There is something for everyone in this garden... including an extensive collection of the 'latest and greatest' from the very best that the north has to offer (which is just incredible!). Judy and Glenn also maintain a collection of over 100 trees and flowering shrubs including unusual dogwoods, redbuds, and hollies. See you there!!! Bill and Linda Gluck Billinda Daylily Garden, owned by Bill and Linda Gluck, is located on a quaint half-acre location in a very nice suburban setting, with wandering paths that lead you through over 730 different daylily cultivars and other perennials. Just amazing what they've done with relatively little space, you just have to 'see to believe'! As an AHS Display Garden, it has been featured in Carolina Gardener, The Charlotte Observer Garden Section, and a local TV news program. It features a collection of all the Stout award winners, all the Ida Munson Award winning doubles, and a complete collection of the Stamile Candies! There are three garden sections designated to 102 doubles, a special area for spiders, and a miniature garden of 35 cultivars. WOW, it's ALL 'in there'. and done so well! Bill is a 'backyard hybridizer' with special gardens of seedlings and introductions, and winner of the R15 Hybridizer Award in 2007! Linda and Bill share their love of daylilies and educating the public by having tours throughout the summer and a special garden party in June each year. Sherry Meinke Sherry Meinke has been a very avid collector and grower of daylilies for at least 12 years. Her garden is of a lovely 'City English Garden' style, complete with an adorable water feature! Daylilies in her charming gardens range from the oldest to the newest, including a simply awesome collection of Munson cultivars. Her garden, packed with many wonderful perennials, has winding paths leading to small (yet exquisite) vignettes of bird houses and garden features. She has a large 'guest' bed containing Region 15 hybridizersr cultivars' and many others registered from 2000 to 2008. Her garden is simply a 'beauty to behold' during peak season!
