A Celebration of the arts in Hudson

The 10-day Hudson Eye public festival of dance, music, performance, film and visual art in Hudson, N.Y., is scheduled to begin on Aug. 28 and continue through Labor Day, ending on Sept. 7 (assuming there are no new tropical storms and infectious viruses between now and then).

This is the second annual festival, which includes performances as well as talks on “Hot Topics” such as design, art history, and the impact of COVID-19 on geopolitics.

All the talks are free but attendees are asked to RSVP because space is limited. They begin daily at 1 p.m. at Hudson Hall, 327 Warren St.

There will also be art exhibitions and performances with work by artists ranging from Bibbe Hansen, an artist in the 1960s art underground in New York City and a regular at Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory; to Puerto Rico-based artists Allora and Calzadilla; to Thea Little, part-time Lakeville resident, who will dance on Saturday, Sept. 5, at Hudson Milliner on Warren Street; to Hot Topics Hudson, which is hosting multiple talks at 327 Warren St. on the arts, culture, history and future of Hudson.

When the guide gets it wrong

Rosa setigera is a native climbing rose whose simple flowers allow bees to easily collect pollen.

After moving to West Cornwall in 2012, we were given a thoughtful housewarming gift: the 1997 edition of “Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs.” We were told the encyclopedic volume was the definitive gardener’s reference guide — a fact I already knew, having purchased one several months earlier at the recommendation of a gardener I admire.

At the time, we were in the thick of winter invasive removal, and I enjoyed reading and dreaming about the trees and shrubs I could plant to fill in the bare spots where the bittersweet, barberry, multiflora rose and other invasive plants had been.Years later, I purchased the 2011 edition, updated and inclusive of plants for warm climates.
