Winter Doldrums Gathering

The Annual Doldrums Gathering is a joint celebration held for over 20 years now with the Upstate NY Hosta Society, the Capital Hudson Iris Society and the Hudson Adirondack Daylily Society. We are gathering on Sunday, February 16th, 11:30 am at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Albany County offices, 24 Martin Road in Voorheesville.

Anyone who would like to help set up should arrive about 10:30 am. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share for the luncheon as well as contributions for the Door Prize table and a friend who would enjoy the talk, food and camaraderie. The Upstate New York Hosta Society is the host this year and they will supply the beverages, paper goods and the guest speaker.

Matthew Benson is an author, award-winning photographer, organic farmer and acclaimed speaker for the National Garden Club of America. Matthew is also involved in the restoration of Stonegate Farm, his 1860s Carpenter Gothic estate farm and studio in New York’s Hudson Valley. Matthew’s talk on THE PHOTOGRAPHIC GARDEN is a comprehensive visual learning experience for garden, landscape, and still life photographers. You’ll learn how to explore the garden with your camera; how to apply the fundamentals of composition, light and color to image-making and how to use digital technology to improve and enhance images you’ve taken. Most of all, you’ll be motivated to see like a camera, work like a professional, and imagine and create like an artist.

The talk is designed to teach you how to create dynamic images in the garden and is a primer on the latest digital image-making tools, from cameras to smart phones to postproduction software and apps. Matthew will show you how to become a better, more intuitive artist in the landscape, help you foster a deeper understanding of design and aesthetics, and encourage you to develop your own visual sensibility – through hundreds of his own thought-provoking images of landscapes, plants, still-lives and gardens.

“Stunning Succulents” coming
to April Meeting

We were sorry to cancel our January meeting, but the weather forecast indicated that the snow would make it difficult for people traveling to the meeting. We wanted everyone to be safe.
Denise Maurer, who was to talk to us on succulents at that meeting, has kindly agreed to give the talk at our meeting on April 18th! Everyone will be able to enjoy her insights on growing these wonderful plants.
