There's a secret gem hidden behind the wrought iron gates of Farmingdale
State College on Route 110. The teaching gardens there rival many public
botanical gardens I've visited, and they're all maintained by students of
the horticulture program for which the school is renowned. (The gardens
are open to the public from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily.)
.
Graduates of the program include local horticultural superstars Vincent
Simeone, an author and director of Planting Fields Arboretum State
Historic Park in Oyster Bay, and Maria Cinque, a lawn and garden expert
and author who was one of the first female agricultural extension agents
in the United States.
.
There are annual beds, mixed shrub borders, an ornamental grass garden, a
beech hedge garden, a rose garden, herb garden, conservatory garden and a
tropical garden, maintained under the ever-watchful eye of Richard
Iversen, whose PhD is in floriculture and ornamental horticulture.
.
Iversen is a celebrated professor of ornamental horticulture at the
school, where he began teaching in 1981. He left and returned several
times, most notably to teach at the University of the West Indies in
Barbados and serve as director of education at the Andromeda Botanic
Gardens there. When he returned to the states in 1996, he brought with him
an unparalleled expertise in tropical horticulture, which he immediately
implemented in the teaching gardens at Farmingdale State College.
.
Digging up tender plants at the end of each season is quite a chore (some
of the plants have 30-inch root balls,) but it affords students the
opportunity to reap valuable educational rewards. Where else in New York
can one learn firsthand the process of balling and burlapping a 6-foot
tree fern?
