The Beacon Hill Civic Association is pleased to collabo-rate with our nonprofit neighbors, providing opportunities to come together, to learn and to enjoy. Throughout the year, the BHCA presents Historic Preservation Roundtables with the Museum of African American History, Summer Evenings at Otis House with Historic New England, and Evening at the Esplanade with Beacon Hill Village to name a few.

Ceren

Turkmenoglu, a Turkish violin-ist, will join the talented classical pianist, Christos Vayenas for this intimate evening of traditional Turkish music of the Ottoman Empire & Western Classical Piano Improvisations, accompa-nied by Turkish food, wine and conversation.

This exciting event will take place on Thursday, November 8th, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Beacon Hill Friends House, 6 Chestnut St., Beacon Hill. Tickets can be purchased online at www.bhcivic.org/upcoming-events, or by calling the BHCA at 617-227-1922. We hope you can join us.

The Friends of the Public Garden will hold its annu-al Members Reception at the Ritz Carlton, 10 Avery St., on Thursday, Nov. 15, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

At this time, Marie Law Adams and Dan Adams from the Somerville-based architectural and urban design firm Landing Studios will outline their vision for Charlesgate Park, as well as the community plan led by the nonprofit Charlesgate Alliance to reclaim the long-neglect-ed area of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall where it intersects with two other historic parks – the Back Bay Fens and theCharles River Esplanade.

Their innovative design aims to improve the “key link” creat-ed by venerable landscape archi-tect Fredrick Law Olmsted that abuts Back Bay and Fenway and runs adjacent to Kenmore Square, which was lost more

than half a century ago to the construction of the Bowker Overpass.

“We are enthusiastic about our upcoming Members Reception when we will share with our members the creative design and plans, initiated by the Charlesgate Alliance, for recov-ering the lost segment of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall at Charlesgate where the Mall, the Fens and the Esplanade come together,” said Liz Vizza, exec-utive director of the Friends group.

This reception is compli-mentary for current FOPG members, but space is limited. You are a current member if you have made a contribution to the Friends in either 2017 or 2018. Contact Rachel Hangley if you’d like to inquire about your mem-bership status at 617-723-8144 or via email at rachel@friend-softhepublicgarden.org. R.S.V.P. for the event by Nov. 8.

ONE DALTON HOSTS RECEPTION FOR DESIGNER VANI SAYEEDPhotos by Roger Farrington

Boston’s new Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences at One Dalton Street, designed by the legendary 92 year-old architect Henry Cobb and Cambridge Seven Architects, is slated to open in April. At 61 stories, the glass and steel skyscraper is certain to be a Boston landmark. On Thursday evening (Sept. 27), and with a nod to Boston’s design community,

One Dalton hosted a reception to honor one of Boston’s top interior designers, Vani Sayeed, at a VIP reception that was held in the One Dalton Gallery at the Four Seasons Hotel on Boylston Street. Sayeed, who was recently invited to be the Residences preferred designer, has an impressive client list that includes Joe and Lauren Kennedy, and pro-bono work for Vanessa Kerry’s non-profit organization Seed Global Health.

Watering, fertilizer, and pest control maintenance are the three key ingredients for healthy trees in the urban jungle.

Newly planted trees require continued watering, ten gallons per week on the average throughout their active growing season. If you have a watering hose, set it at low pressure and water once a week for approximately 1/2 hour or more often during periods of hot weather. Best times to water are early morning or evening.

When fertilizing young trees, one application in the spring is adequate. A slow release, high nitrogen fertilizer can be used for the first four years. Do not fertilize any tree in midsummer. Mature trees need not be fertilized on a yearly basis.

The days of public spraying of trees with insecticides and pesticides are a thing of the past. Contact a certified arborist to diagnose and manage insect and disease problems.
