eesburg Flower & Garden Festival planners are busy putting the final touches on the 29th rendition of the popular show—a comprehensive combination of all things green and growing, along with garden art, tools, family fun, fair food and live music.

Whether it’s hanging baskets, perennials, vegetables, annuals, shrubs or trees, garden art or furniture, you can find it at the show.

The six-block festival area—situated along North and South King and East and West Market streets—will feature 150 vendors, a mix of plant growers, landscapers, arborists, stage entertainers for adults and kids, food vendors and local non-profit representatives.

Operating on a “tried and true” premise, Leesburg Parks and Recreation Department staffers sought to fine

tune the event each year to meet the expectations of a faithful gardening public that likes consistency, with some new touches here and there.

“People have favorite vendors, and they like to find them in the same place.

We don’t move them around for the sake of moving,” said Parks and Rec Events & Outreach Manager Linda Fountain. “We’ve

LIZ SPRINGER is a Wammie-nominated powerhouse singer who can also croon out the softer nuances of songs. Her tone is warm and soulful and while comparisons have been made to blues luminaries such as Bonnie Raitt, Etta James, Susan Tedeschi and Janiva Magness, her singing style has been influenced by a wide variety of folk, rock and pop artists she has admired over the years. Those include Adele, Joan Osborne, Carole King, Ann Wilson, Patsy Cline, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Linda Ronstadt. She’ll be performing with Joel Newman.

It’s the third year for THE POCKET BAND to perform at the festival, with vocalist Omar Teitelbaum, Jamaicanborn guitarist Terrence Brown and keyboardist Matt Wood blending authentic island sounds into their music.

THE DUSKWHALES are a three-piece indie rock band formed in Manassas in 2010. Their sound, through prominent use of keyboards and memorable vocal harmonies, is reminiscent of ‘60s groups like The Beatles and The Doors. While incorporating the best elements of their psychedelic roots, the young trio creates a sophisticated style of their own in both studio and live settings. They have shared the stage with national acts Car Seat Headrest, Diane Coffee, Little Green Cars and Frankie Cosmos, as well as performed to packed audiences across the East Coast.

CRYS MATHEWS, a southeastern North Carolina native living in Herndon blends Americana, folk, jazz, blues, bluegrass and funk into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies and punctuated by honest, original lyrics. Having been compared to everyone from Toshi Reagon to Tracy Chapman to Ruthie Foster, her eclectic infusion of genres has won her honorable mentions at the 2017, 2013 and 2014 MidAtlantic Song Contest and extensive radio play.

stablished in 1995, the Leesburg Tree Commission is comprised of seven members appointed by the Town Council for their interest and knowledge in urban forestry.

This Commission’s vision is to provide leadership to enhance, expand and preserve the tree canopy for the benefit of the community.

They are dedicated to promoting tree preservation and planting within the Town, providing a healthy and diverse tree canopy as well as ensuring an aesthetic quality of life for all citizens.

The Town’s Urban Forestry Management Plan was approved in 2006 to guide Leesburg’s efforts to recover the loss of tree canopy and enhance all tree-related benefits by recommending strategies and actions to improve their urban forest management in an equitable, economic, and sustainable manner.

TREES Help Tame

STORMWATER Preserving the natural tree canopy of a community and strategic tree plantings in urban landscapes, especially along waterways, contribute to the control of stormwater runoff and help to improve the health of a watershed through a number of ways. Such as: • Trees intercept, store runoff and transfer water back to the atmosphere through a natural process called evapotranspiration.

•

Shade and tree litter, such as fallen leaves, twigs, bark and fruits, beneath the canopy help promote infiltration of precipitation that reaches the ground beneath the tree, providing moisture to the tree roots.

• Trees and vegetative groundcover can slow the travel of runoff better than bare earth or impervious surfaces, such as parking lots, streets, and sidewalks.

• Trees stabilize the soil surface, preventing erosion and provide filtration and absorb of contaminants, thus enhancing water quality.

Trees play a very important role in any community when there is too much rain.

They retain thousands of gallons of rainwater when a storm strikes – water that would otherwise rush to an already heavily burdened storm drainage system.

Landscape Lesson: Edible, Ecological Designs

E

ver wondered how you can have your yard and eat it, too?

That’s the specialty of author and edible landscape designer Michael Judd, who will be the featured speaker during this year’s Flower and Garden Festival.

Judd will lead a virtual tour through edible landscapes designed and created in the DC Metro area while unearthing

the ABC’s of how to make your yard more fruitful.

The focus will be on water harvesting for successful growing, outdoor mushroom cultivation, creating herb spirals, starting a food forest, choosing uncommon fruits and more. He’ll provide

information about new elements to edible landscaping that move away from annual garden beds and into approachable designs that graft together ease of care, aesthetics and ecological function.

His talk will be held Sunday, April 28 on the Children’s Stage on West Cornwall Street, starting at 11:30 a.m.

Raised in northern England and the Appalachian Mountains of Maryland, Judd’s roots have been branched with diverse landscapes and fertile culture.

He’s operated a grassroots nonprofit in rural Latin America, headed up an arid lands research project in the dessert of southeastern Spain, and conducted an extensive study at the New York Botanic Garden.

He got his start with whole system design while living with the last of the Lacondon Mayans in southern Mexico along the Guatemalan border. He learned the ancient design practices of the Mayans that ingeniously mimic natures patterns to create functional landscapes.

He also learned about a parallel design system from Australia, “permaculture,” that applies similar landscape use of the Mayans but adapted to the modern world.

Combining designs, in 2001 he created Project Bona Fide on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua’s southwest corner.

The project focus has been to create food security through food forest design that maximizes land use for a diversity of harvests. Today, 26 acres have grown into a haven of production, with examples of linked design systems that mimic nature’s functions while meeting the needs of local economies and ecologies.

In Manhattan, he studied the latest in modern design at the New York Botanic Garden. Coupling the whole system design he learned in Latin America with the form and art of contemporary design, Judd created Ecologia, Edible & Ecological Designs and won his first commission from Top Chef contender Bryan Voltaggio to design an edible courtyard at his flagship restaurant Volt in Frederick, MD.

The Overnight Transformation When the festival opens on Saturday morning, downtown Leesburg’s streets are filled with grass, flowers, waterfalls and pergolas. That transformation happens overnight—literally.

And even that element of the event is sort of a tourist attraction.

After the downtown streets are closed to traffic Friday afternoon, landscaping crews move in quickly to begin building their displays. Some will continue late into the night or the early morning.

Amid the sounds of saws, hammers and forklifts, the downtown restaurants are typically filled with locals and visitors who enjoy front row seats to the metamorphosis occurring on the streets.

It’s a blend of well-choreographed chaos and craftsmanship that has formed the foundation of the festival for nearly 30 years.

up with big ribbon. She is the festival’s longest-running vendor, along with Jamie McKimmey, owner of Jamie’s Small Engine shop in Lovettsville.

There will be five big landscapers at this year’s show, along with 124 plant providers—some of whom will transform their booth into a miniature garden. There will be nine food vendors, offering a wide variety of food, including a pizza truck, to provide a different food flavor to the traditional groaning sideboard.

Local non-profits also can share their programs and activities, as they are provided free space each year.

There’s usually a special feature on gardening each year—and the 2019 presentation will be given by landscape designer Michael Judd on Edible Landscapes. His talk will be on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at the Kids Stage on West Cornwall Street. Judd will expand attendees’ concepts of cultivation beyond the notion of traditional garden beds. He will give his audience a virtual tour through edible landscapes designed and created in the DC metro area—going through the ABC’s of how to make one’s yard more productive. Topics will include water harvesting, outdoor mushroom cultivation, creating herb spirals, starting a food forest and choosing uncommon fruits.

Music is a big part of the festival—for adults and kids. There’s a full roster of main stage performers on the courthouse steps, while a separate kids’ area and stage is around the corner on West Cornwall Street. There, Parks and Rec staffers will supervise a busy area where kids can enjoy a variety of games, painting oversize2d animal cut-outs and other activities.

The region’s growing craft beer scene has a strong showing at the festival. This year, guests can sample brews from eight breweries on the Town Green.

Another favorite option for attendee’s to cast their vote for the “People’s Choice” award, given to the top landscape design.

Ballots can be picked up at the entrance booths or at the gazebo in the middle of town. Ballots should be placed in the birdhouse at the gazebo by noon on Sunday. The winner will be announced from the Main Stage later that afternoon.

It’s a mammoth affair—one that takes the efforts of the entire Parks and Rec staff along with volunteers, plus staff in Public Works, Utilities and the Leesburg Police. Altogether it takes about 125 individuals to take the event from planning to execution and clean up.

At the end of the day, “We know our show, and if the public and the vendors are happy, we’ve had a successful show,” Fountain said.

All the Building Blocks of Your Perfect Garden

BY MARGARET MORTON

hile all aspects of what it takes to make the perfect garden will be on display during the Leesburg Flower & Garden Festival, the heart of it all is the plant material.

And you’ll see every kind of home gardener at the festival—from novice to experienced growers, from owners of spacious gardens to smaller plots, to those who do tub gardening on their back patio. There’s something for each level.

The experienced festival goer can usually spot the differences—and it’s fun to make your observations.

There are the recognizable mannerisms of those who know exactly what they want—the determined look and swift gait. They’ve come to find a specific plant, shrub or perennial—then leave town.

Then, there are those whose garden is VENDORS continues on page 28

maybe only a few years old, and they’re looking around for plants or specimens to augment their initial plantings as well as advice from growers as they become more experienced. Or, maybe, the buyer is only interested in vegetables, seeking out new varieties, while others are looking for annuals to brighten the garden or discover unusual perennials.

Dedicated arborists may be more ambitious—seeking a rare shrub or tree.

Then there are the browsers, who amble from booth to booth, eyeing the various offerings—often retracing their steps before making a purchase. A common sight at the festival is people toting colorful hanging baskets as they head home.

And when it’s a lovely day, there are those who just enjoy walking up and down the streets, taking in the architecture of historic downtown Leesburg.

Over its 29 years, the festival has expanded the vendor offerings to provide an outdoor living experience for today’s VENDORS continues on page 30

buyers who increasingly are interested in urban gardening, garden art, whimsical or otherwise. Interest is growing in garden statuary, furniture, hardscaping options and water features.

Outside dining ideas have become popular for attendees, who can find everything one would need for dinner al fresco—taking the informal picnic of the past to new heights of elegance.

The combination of plant materials by vendors and the designed gardens by individual landscapers is a win-win for visitors. Along with the plants they buy at various booths, attendees can see what the plants or hardscape features they’ve just ordered—such as a fountain or gazebo—would actually look like.

Looking at the list of vendors for this year’s festival, the names alone pique one’s interest—The Dudes Plant-Planters; A Farm Less Ordinary; Amazing Earth Landscapes; Betty Jane’s Sweet Delights, By the Cottage Door; Celestial Gardens; Dripping Springs Ollas; Frivolous Cottage; Feathered Friends Log Homes; Gathered Threads; Glorious Goblets; Harvesting History; On-theRocks; Renaissance Lavender; Sittin’ Easy; The Painted Garden; True Honey Teas; X-treme Products; or Uncommon Finds—just some of the different companies and growers whose items will be offered at this year’s show.

The quality and extent of their offerings is phenomenal—as is the mix of offerings at the festival—plants, trees and shrubs; art and statuary; clothing, tote bags and aprons; birdhouses, bat and owl homes; and wind chimes; weathervanes; stoneware and pottery items; cheeses, teas, honeys, jams and jellies, pickles and pestos; wood planters; herb and lavender products including soaps, oils; decorative table ware items; hand woven baskets; kinetic garden art in the likeness of egrets, herons and flamingos; wooden products including fun mail posts and hand carved flowers; stained glass mosaic bird baths; dahlia tubers and native perennials; outdoor rugs made from recycled plastic bottles; concrete and tile planters; hand carved root baskets and bowls from cypress roots; tropical air plants on driftwood and shells; porch and garden furniture, including swings, gliders and rockers; natural soaps made from plant oils; and succulents and cactus in unusual pots—the list goes on.

With this dizzying array of products and plant material to take in, gardeners are hard pressed to know where to turn. And they can always take a break by heading over to the courthouse lawn to relax for a bit while listening to some great music.
