AHIP, CAAR, & BRHBA Partner to Raise $50,000

by June 1 and Expand Community Awareness for Keeping Local Neighbors Safe at Home Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP), Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR), and Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BRHBA) are partnering for the fourth year to support AHIP and the work to keep local neighbors Safe at Home.

April 1st marked the official spring campaign kick-off with six events with Charlottesville restaurants and retail businesses throughout April and May. The common goal of each event is to rally awareness of AHIP and raise $50,000 for emergency repair and home rehab work for seniors, families with children, neighbors with disabilities, and other low-income homeowners in need in Charlottesville and Albemarle.

“We are not able to run our programs without the support of this community, REALTORS®, and home builders. They are among our strongest

champions in our mission to provide a safe, secure, healthy environment for all,” Jennifer Jacobs, AHIP executive director, said. “Only with these partners can we achieve this level of impact year after year.”

On Wednesday, April 1 Citizen Burger Bar donated 10 percent of meal receipts to AHIP. Additional business events taking place to support the $50,000 goal by June 1 include: • Monday, April 13

Travinia Italian Kitchen is donating 15 percent of meal receipts all day • Wednesday, April 22 Alex and Ani is donating 15 percent of net proceeds from 5 - 7 pm • Wednesday, May 13 Langford Market is donating 15 percent of proceeds from 5:30 - 8:30 pm • Thursday, May 28 Burtons Grill is donating 20 percent of proceeds all day Local REALTORS® and homebuilders have built tremendous momentum around reaching the goal, especially with last weekend’s BRHBA Home & Garden Festival. While the Festival was a free, community event, attendees were asked to make a contribution to AHIP. The generosity of event goers, exhibitors, donors who built the AHIP house display, and volunteers resulted in more than $6,000 being raised—a great jumpstart to successfully reaching the goal.

“The 42nd BRHBA Home & Garden Festival was a huge success and we cannot thank the vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and visitors enough. We look forward to putting on an even bigger show next year as we are already taking reservations for the 2016 show,” BRHBA President Ben Davis said. “The overwhelming turnout of visitors to this year’s event is a testament to the value of being able to see, touch, and talk to industry experts all in one place. It was great to hear attendees say ‘I used to come here as a kid, and now I’m bringing my kids.’”

More than 25 CAAR volunteers talked to Festival attendees, shared why they are passionate about the services AHIP provides to our community, and asked for a contribution. Many more volunteers participated behind the scenes, organizing logistics and finalizing today’s campaign launch.

“REALTORS® are invested in building our community and strengthening our neighborhoods, and these events are a great way for us to get involved. We look forward to participating in the spring campaign events, contributing to our local commerce, and of course, supporting the overall goal – keeping seniors, neighbors, and children Safe at Home,” CAAR President Anita Dunbar said.

Everyone should be Safe at Home.

Partner with AHIP, CAAR, and BRHBA and be the hope to local families in need of critical home repairs. Learn more about this joint initiative and make a contribution using FundRazr. com by June 1. Also find AHIP on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Spring Build Days Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BRHBA) joins Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) and Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR), to support Spring Build Days, Monday - Wednesday, April 20, 21, and 22.

Shelter for Help in Emergency announces its Sixth annual Design House 2015 fundraiser

The Shelter for Help in Emergency introduces this year’s Design House, supported by lead sponsor Summit Custom Homes. The Earlysville home owned by Ronald and Janie Goldberg is a spacious, newly constructed European French country brick and stucco building, expertly built by Summit Custom Homes. This beautiful, three-story home features five bedrooms, an oversized chef’s kitchen and a pre-wired media room. Breathtaking and expansive mountain views provide a natural backdrop for event’s talented interior and exterior designers to showcase their talents.

For over 36 years, the Shelter for Help in Emergency has provided free, confidential services to victims of domestic violence and their families in Charlottesville and the surrounding community. Design House is the Shelter’s signature fundraising event to sustain those services and programs while educating the community about its work. With Design House, the Shelter for Help in Emergency hopes to offer a tangible reminder of the home we would wish for each person in our community: a haven of love and laughter, free from fear and violence. No matter how different the structures of our dwellings may be, surely they can all share that quality at heart, because peace on earth begins at home.

Each year, a Charlottesville-area homeowner generously extends the use of his or her house for the Design House event. Designers and their vendors, assigned to individual rooms and spaces inside and out, showcase their talents and the latest in design styles and techniques. The result is a unique tour for visitors, where each room or garden reflects a designer’s creative vision and provides endless and inspiring ideas for the home. This year’s house will feature a boutique where visitors will be able to purchase items to begin their own design projects at home. In addition to touring the house there will be daily seminars presented by local artists and skilled professionals on topics related to home décor, entertaining and design. Once again Design House is pleased to offer an onsite Café providing light refreshments and fresh lunch items.

HISTORIC

Garden Week

BY KEN WILSON

If you walk along the serpentine brick walls by the Pavilion Gardens on the grounds of the University of Virginia, you will see a plaque commemorating the restoration work of the Garden Club of Virginia. Inside, right about now, the daffodils and periwinkle are blooming, and the tulips are on their way. In fact, thanks to Club restorations, right about now there are gardens all across the state budding with living history.

Each spring the club and its 47 member clubs with their 3,400 volunteers throw open gates and doors on historic properties, inviting the public to wander at will. The first Historic Garden Week event, a flower show in 1927, raised $7,000 to save trees Thomas Jefferson had planted on the lawn at Monticello. Nowadays, Historic Garden Week offers 32 separate, mostly self-guided tours, covering over 250 properties, attracting approximate 30,000 visitors a year, and raising funds to preserve and restore public gardens at such treasured sites as Monticello, Montpelier, Poplar Forest, and UVa. The 2015 Albemarle-Charlottesville House and Garden Tour will take place

Saturday, April 18, through Tuesday, April 21. Hosted by the Charlottesville Garden Club, Rivanna Garden Club, and Albemarle Garden Club, this year’s tour features four properties in the Ivy area, including historic estates, restored Gillette gardens, and contemporary landscape architecture. In addition, the Tour will feature Morven Estate House and Gardens, UVa’s Carr’s Hill and East Lawn Pavilions, and special events at Monticello and Ash Lawn-Highland.

Linda Macilwaine is one of several Charlottesville Garden Club members who has been making flower arrangements for Historic Garden Week homes for more than 20 years. “Members from each of the three clubs who host Garden Week are asked to cut flowers from their own gardens and condition them for these arrangements,” Macilwaine says. “It is always great fun to see how creative and imaginative the arrangements are. Traditionally we only use flowers that are in season and would appear to have come from the property owner’s gardens. That way we can leave the flowers in the garden for our touring guests to enjoy. I always look forward

to this time of year because arranging is somewhat like painting, and time evaporates when you are working with beautiful and fragrant blooms creating shapes and lines and combining colors.

Of course we laugh and chat a lot while we are working and retell a lot of funny stories from past garden weeks!”

The four Ivy properties will be open to the public Sunday, April 19 from noon to 5:00 p.m., and Monday, April 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Advance tickets for this Country Home and Gardens Tour are available for

$40 online, and in Charlottesville at The Boar’s Head Inn Store, Caspari, New Dominion Book Shop, The Senior Center, The Virginia Shop, and McLaughlin. Tickets may also be purchased at any of the individual properties for $45 on tour days.

hallway – was built in 1849 for a Louisiana man named Paul H. Goodloe.

Bloomfield “has quite an interesting background,” says Meredith Mercer, co-chair of this year’s Albemarle-Charlottesville Tour. “One of its owners was a man named Tatnall Lea,” a former Union soldier from Philadelphia.

“During the Civil War he was taken captive by the Confederates, and he escaped. As he was escaping over the Shenandoah Valley, he apparently came through Virginia, and right into this area, and saw the beautiful rolling hills and promised himself that after the Civil War was over he would come back and buy property. And in fact he bought Bloomfield.”

Although it was built as a private residence, over the years Bloomfield has seen several alterations to accommodate several uses – as a preparatory school for UVa, as a finishing school for girls, and as a home and school for handicapped children. The current owners have made it a home again, restoring its original grandeur.

Macilwaine expects the center hall at Bloomfield to feature a large arrangement incorporating tall dogwood branches plus lilac, bright tulips, andromeda, spirea, lenten roses, “and maybe a few tree peonies in bloom to complement the warm and beautiful colors there.”

In the rejuvenated gardens, original stacked-stone walls and large hedges of ancient American boxwood flank lush perennial beds, mixed borders, flowering shrubs, specimen trees, and a beautiful pool with breathtaking

Foxhaven - Photos by Catriona Tudor Erler

Clief commissioned Marshall Swain Wells, one of the first graduates of UVa’s School of Architecture, to build a Georgian Revival manor house on the 1,700-acre estate.

Wells was known for his intricate moldings, his blending of indoor and outdoor spaces, and his use of high quality local materials including Rockingham slate roofs and reclaimed “beehive” brick. Wartime rationing forced him to rely on wood more than was usual at the time. In fact, the construction of Verulam required an Act of Congress. Visitors to Verulam will note the decorative black garden iron gate that Wells acquired from the White House when the Secret Service replaced it with a taller one during World War II. To design the gardens, Wells worked with prominent landscape architect Charles Gillette, known for his “Virginia Garden” style, characterized by understated classicism and attention to detail. The home’s sunken garden, to the west of the croquette court off Verulam’s southern exposure, exemplifies Wells and Gillette’s shared conviction that a landscape should compliment a home’s most distinctive architectural elements. The current owner has spent more than a decade restoring the home and gardens to their original splendor, establishing a two-tiered vegetable garden, a small heritage orchard, and a nut walk leading out to the woods.

In the house, Macilwaine says, visitors will see “a large hallway arrangement to pick up the colors in the wonderful hand painted mural. In another room we will create a mantle arrangement mixed with antlers.” Tour goers will find a host of plant societies and vendors on hand, and can enjoy demonstrations by floral arrangers and a watercolor artist.

This year, for the first time, the 200-acre Foxhaven farm just west of Charlottesville will be open for Historic Garden Week. Beginning in 1949, Albemarle Garden Club member Jane Heyward established gardens and paths, and collected specimens of trees, shrubs, and plants to create woodland gardens, perennial beds, a cottage garden, and shaded paths bordered with seasonal bulbs and flowers. Hoping that Foxhaven would become part of an arboretum or botanical garden, Heyward established a trust for the renovation of the garden.

Tour goers can see a beekeeping exhibition with live bees and honey tastings, plus an exhibit of rescued animals and a Hotpots demonstration. A master gardener will be on hand to answer questions. Volunteer tree stewards will

Morea Garden and Arboretum Morea Garden and Arboretum in Charlottesville, an historic Federal period home, will also be open will be open April 21 from noon to 4:00 p.m.

Morea was built by John Patten Emmet, one of the first professors chosen

by Thomas Jefferson, and named for the mulberries cultivated for experiments with silkworms. The spacious brick house was given to the University as a residence for distinguished visitors. The garden contains large old trees and a landscaped botanical collection begun by the Albemarle Garden Club in 1964.

Monticello and Ash Lawn-Highland Monticello will host several speakers and tours for Historic Garden Week.

Architectural historian Gardiner Hallock will speak on “Restoring Monticello’s Kitchen Road,” at 2:00 p.m. on April 20, followed by a 3:15 tour of the Mountaintop Kitchen Road. Free advance registration is required.

On April 21, Monticello Director of Gardens and Grounds, Gabriele Rausse will speak on Thomas Jefferson’s Fruit and Vegetable Gardens, followed by a walking tour of the Monticello gardens at 10:00 a.m. followed by an 11:15 a.m. walking tour of the gardens. Free advance registration is required.

Historic Garden Week ticket-holders will be admitted to Ash Lawn-Highland at the local resident rate of $8.

The estate’s flower gardener will be on site to answer questions.

Gardens Large and Small REALTOR® Byrd Abbott will help welcome visitors to Foxhaven this year.

“I went on Garden Week tours growing up because I was born and raised here,” Abbott remembers. A self-described “corporate vagabond” later in life, she joined the Charlottesville Garden Club upon returning in 1999. Nowadays, she enjoys tending her own garden when she has the time, and Garden Week is an inspiration. “You see things displayed together that maybe you wouldn’t have

thought of,” she says, “and you think ‘that’s really a great way of doing it and I can pass that on to a client who might have a similar issue in their yard.’”

“I would encourage people to come out and go view the gardens because we are so fortunate with our growing season here. We just naturally have beautiful topography, I think even if you don’t garden that much, you can appreciate what people do that’s positive and it’s such a positive thing for Central Virginia. We have literally busloads of people that come from Texas, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Florida.

That’s how well known and appreciated in gardening circles our area is for the effort that goes into it. Its really is a tribute to the gardening clubs.”

Historic Garden Week proceeds fund The Garden Club of Virginia’s continuing restoration and conservation efforts. Projects are currently underway at the historic Henry County Courthouse in Martinsville, Monticello (the Kitchen Road project), Poplar Forest in Lynchburg, and the Poe Museum in Richmond. “The mission,” says Restoration Committee member Candace Crosby, “is to preserve the beautiful state of Virginia.” n

Small Yard,

BIG IMPACT

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

While some people live on country estates with ample acreage, many people these days have less-than-spacious yards—especially in condominium or townhouse communities. “There are challenges in having a small yard,” points out Charlottesville Horticulturist Karyn Smith.

It can be tempting, she says, to visit a nursery or garden store, buy a bunch of good-sized trees or shrubs, and put them in the ground. However, she stresses, it’s much better to plan ahead.

Decide how much of the yard you want for walkways, sitting, or dining areas and how much you want to devote to garden space.

Consider laying out a curved garden space rather a sharp-angled area to give a more spacious feeling. A short curving path of brick, stone, or gravel can add charm and definition, while a raised bed for vegetables and herbs is another nice choice. Planters can contain flowers or vegetables and those big

strawberry jars are practical as well as attractive.

“When choosing shrubs and trees for a small yard,” Smith advises, “be careful to purchase plants that won’t eventually outgrow the space. This can end up costing time and money, either in the extra work it takes to keep a larger tree or shrub pruned to a smaller size, or in the eventual replacement of the overgrown plants.”

She explains that growers, aware of the downsizing of many yards, are continually working to develop dwarf ver-

BUTTERFLY BUSH

sions of many typically larger trees and shrubs. “Talk to the staff at your favorite garden center and see what’s new,” she urges. “You might be surprised to find your favorite shrub now comes in a much smaller size, suited perfectly for your small space.”

Examples of small trees include Crabapples and Kousa Dogwoods that only grow to about 25 feet with the added attraction of beautiful blossoms in the spring and small decorative fruit in autumn. Hawthorns are also attractive trees and grow to only 20-25 feet or so.

Good shrubbery for a small space includes Butterfly Bush, also called Buddleia, which comes in colors from pale pink to deep purple, blooms all summer, and is a butterfly magnet. Spiraea is another ornamental that is especially popular for its clusters of flowers. Some species are spring bloomers, others come out in the summer.

Cotoneasters are flowering shrubs that are actually in the rose family.

There are many species varying from low shrubs growing to about two feet

COTONEASTER

in height with some species reaching more than 15 feet. The flowers attract butterflies and the small fruits—which can be red, orange, maroon, or pink— are popular with birds.

Low-growing plants make nice ground cover, particularly varieties of thyme. Its fragrant leaves can be used fresh or dried. The flowers are small, but the greenery is appealing. Verbena comes in a number of shades and is also an excellent groundcover. And pachysandra, which stays green all year, is a perennial favorite. The blossoms are inconspicuous, but once planted pachysandra is very hardy.

Another consideration, says Smith, is that it’s important to be aware of planting combinations. “You should take into consideration the light, water, and fertilizing needs of the plants you choose and place plants with similar needs near each other,” she recommends.

“One of the challenges of having a small yard may be a lack of privacy or there may be a view you want to hide,” Smith continues. “You may be tempted to choose an evergreen shrub, but this can pose an even greater challenge as many of the fast-growing shrubs that are often used for screening grow too wide for small spaces. In this case, it is best to choose narrower shrubs such as Golden Arborvitae or Spartan Juniper that grow tall enough for privacy but don’t take too much precious space.”

Having a water feature as a focal point is another way to personalize a small yard. Birdbaths come in a wide range of styles from an elegant setup with a water dripper (the sound of the dripping water attracts birds), to a simple basin on a pedestal. A fountain or waterfall with a recirculating pump lends a gentle white noise splashing to a yard.

Finally, an excellent space-saving idea is to use planters or pots mounted on a wall, fence, or pergola to hold decorative flowers. This vertical strategy could also be the basis of a small kitchen garden with herbs and greens to provide fresh salads for your table. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. They made their own birdbath using a plastic trash can lid as the form and pressing earthtoned pebbles into quick-drying concrete.
