2012 Lecture Schedule for The English Lady
Renowned landscape designer Maureen Haseley-Jones is continuing her lecture series titled ‘Garden Earth’ to reconnect people’s hearts and hands with the nourishing energy of Mother Nature’s life giving gardens. Also known as The English Lady, Ms. Haseley-Jones is a sought after and highly respected lecturer, writer, and radio gardening expert heard monthly on WRCH Radio Lite100.5 FM by thousands of dedicated fans throughout Connecticut and the world.
In her naturally humorous and upbeat manner, The English Lady will teach how each of us can oxygenate our environment and feed our souls in a co-creative and symbiotic relationship with the Earth. She will teach not only how to create a beautiful garden that flourishes but more importantly how to maintain it
organically and without the use of harmful poisons. But even closer to her heart, The English Lady will discuss ways in which we can, through our garden’s living spirit, become grounded in our bodies, inspired to reach beyond them, and connect at a deeper level of our beings with the meaning and purpose of Mother Nature and her changing seasons.
The English Lady recognizes that now, more than any other time in our history, people need to make conscious choices about their health, lifestyle, and homes. This is imperative not only for mankind, but our planet as well. “We are inexorably entwined with the earth” she says. “People need to know that even the smallest gesture of a garden has positive affects and rewards on the environment.”
Watch The English Lady on television on Life & Style With Sara, an engaging and informative program hosted by the lovely Sara Conner. This talk show will teach you all that you need to know about gardening inside and out as they discuss trends, tips, and tools of the landscape, garden, and indoor garden.

Nikkole, add some manure around the base and keep it well watered, hopefully you have it planted in full sun. Maureen
Hello,
I have a hydrangea bush in my backyard and the last two years that I’ve been in my house it hasn’t bloomed once. Why is this? I am so hopeful every summer that this will be the year we will see what color the flowers are but we haven’t had any luck. Do you have any suggestions as to what we can do to make this bloom?
Anxiously awaiting your advice! Nikkole Nelson, Bristol, CT
Hi Maureen, I will be at the Stanley Whitman House in Farmington for tomorrows tea. I would like to know how I can keep my beautiful tulips coming back next year? Should I dig up the bulbs after the foliage has died back? Or leave them where they are? Looking forward to meeting, Barbara Vasquenza, Avon, Ct.
Patty, I will be at the Enfield Library 104 Middle road, Enfield, tomorrow evening Wednesday March 24th at 6.30 and on April 8th at 1 p.m. for the West Hartford Garden club at Westminster Presbyterian Church
2080 Boulevard, West Hartford. Hope to see you. Maureen
I missed you in at the library in Canton, CT on Saturday, March 20! Will you be speaking in Hartford County any time soon?
Donna, I will be at the Enfield library for my Garden Earth lecture this coming Wednesday March 24th at 6.30 p.m. Call the Library and ask if you need to register. I know it will be a full house but I’m sure that one more can be squeezed in. Maureen
I have been a loyal listener of Lite 100.5 forever and I have enjoyed when you are on the air. I heard you are coming to the Enfield Public Library and would like to know when and how do I sign up? Thanks for keeping us all HAPPY during the winter months – knowing the spring flowers are coming!!!
Betsy, lecture is 7.30 p.m. on September 3rd. Come and bring your friends. Look forward to meeting you. Maureen
Hello there Maureen,
I was wondering what the date and time was that you would be @South Congregational Church, Granby, CT in September 2009.
Could you please let me know….thank you.
Betsy
Dear Jacqueline, it was a pleasure meeting you. I was impressed and thrilled to see the fan book of information, articles and photos you have collected on yours truly. We will be putting the photo up on the website in the near future. I’m happy that you enjoyed the lecture; I thoroughly enjoy spreading the organic word and manure.
Warm regards, Maureen
Dear Maureen,
It was a pleasure to have my picture taken with you at the Garden Party at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, June 14, 2009! I thoroughly enjoyed your speech on Gardening. You truly are a Gardening Expert! Hope to meet you again. Sincerely,
Jacqueline Lancaster
Dear Lynn, Leave the Boxwood alone and they will green up for you nicely together with new growth in the spring rain and the yellow and brown leaves will fall off. Add aged manure and peat around the base of the plants. Why don’t you try a perennial in the center which will come back for you each year. Choose a perennial from the garden center, read the label regarding bloom time and height and in a color you enjoy. Maureen
Dear Maureen, I have caught your WRCH segment and was hoping to see an answer to my garden problem on your site. I planted 102 english boxwoods last year, mid August. (Connecticut) They have a considerable about of yellow/brown leaves. What can I do to green these up. Also, can you recommend a beautiful annual to fill in the center of this boxwood hedge.
Thank you.
Dear Maureen,
Thank you so much for sending the Perennial Garden Design Plan for a shade garden. I got some good ideas and plan to share it with our members at our next meeting. We thoroughly enjoyed having you speak to our group and hope it was a fun experience for you too. We were overwhelmed by the number of guests we had – the largest number ever! I heard many positive comments from members and guests alike and will recommend you to the Federated Garden Clubs of CT. They put out a program booklet each year and hope this exposure will boost your speaking engagements.
Happy Spring!
Carolyn N****, President
Kensington Garden Club
