🌿 Stated: 7:00 pm
Dress: Officers & Members – Formal

Any Apprentice Gardener, Journeyman Gardener and Master Gardener in good standing, or visiting from a Lodge recognized by the International Order of Free Gardeners is welcomed to attend our Stated Meeting.

🌿 What happens at a Stated Meeting?

A Stated Meeting in Freegardenry refers to a regularly scheduled meeting of a Free Gardeners' lodge. These meetings are held monthly and serve as a time for lodge members to conduct business, discuss lodge matters, and plan upcoming events. Stated Meetings are governed by a set of rules and procedures known as the lodge's bylaws and are presided over by the lodge's officers, including the Worthy Master (WM), Deputy Worthy Master (DWM), Worthy Secretary (WS) and Worthy Treasurer (WT). During a Stated Meeting, the lodge may also conduct ceremonial or ritualistic work, confer degrees, and welcome visiting brethren from other lodges.

🌿 Who may attend a Stated Meeting?

Any Apprentice Gardener (AG), Journeyman Gardener (JG), or Master Gardener (MG) in good standing or visiting from a lodge recognized by the International Order of Free Gardeners (IOFG), is welcome to attend our Stated Meeting.

Non-Gardeners (i.e., visitors) and Seekers may attend the 6 pm dinner before the Stated Meeting. The dinner before a Stated Meeting would be a great way for visitors to meet Free Gardeners and learn about Freegardenry and our lodge.

Tyler's Notes: If the lodge opens the Stated Meeting on the 1st degree, then AGs, JGs, and MGs from any recognized lodge may attend (great for IOFG or visiting and new AGs to see how our lodge is managed). If the Lodge opens on a 2nd degree, then only JGs and MGs can attend. If the Lodge opens on a 3rd degree, then only Master Gardeners can attend. If a new Apprentice is present, the WM will open on a 1st Degree so that the new Apprentice can attend. If you are a non-Gardener/Seeker and plan to join us at dinner, make sure to inform the WM or WS so that preparations may be done accordingly.

National Heroes Day (Filipino: 𝕻𝖆𝖒𝖇𝖆𝖓𝖘𝖆𝖓𝖌 𝕬𝖗𝖆𝖜 𝖓𝖌 𝖒𝖌𝖆 𝕭𝖆𝖞𝖆𝖓𝖎) is a public holiday in the Philippines celebrated annually on the last Monday of August as a tribute to Filipino Heroes.

The holiday traces its roots to the 𝕮𝖗𝖞 𝖔𝖋 𝕻𝖚𝖌𝖆𝖉 𝕷𝖆𝖜𝖎𝖓 in August 1896, which marked the beginning of the 𝕻𝖍𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖕𝖕𝖎𝖓𝖊 𝕽𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖚𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓. The date and the location of the cry has been long disputed. From 1911 to 1962, the cry was thought to have emanated from Balintawak (now in modern-day Balingasa, Quezon City) on August 26. On 1963, by recommendation of historian Teodoro Agoncillo, the date was changed to August 23, and the location was changed to Pugad Lawin in Caloocan (now in modern day Gulod, Novaliches, Quezon City). Due to disputed date, and with the consensus that the cry occurred in late August, the holiday was then set in the last week of August.

The observance of National Heroes Day was already present during the American colonial period. Act No. 3827 by the Philippine Legislature enacted on October 28, 1931, designated every last Sunday of August as National Heroes Day. However, Bonifacio Day established by virtue of Act No. 2946 of 1921 was also dedicated to anonymous Filipino heroes. In practice, National Heroes Day celebrations were observed on the same day as Bonifacio Day. This continued during the Japanese occupation during World War II and some years after the United States granted the Philippines independence in 1946.

President Elpidio Quirino issued Administrative Order No. 190 in 1952 which reverted National Heroes Day back to the last Sunday of August. Administrative Code of 1987 of President Corazon Aquino designated the day as a regular holiday. The date of the holiday was revised again in 2007, this time to the last Monday of August, via Republic Act No. 9492 which was signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The law itself does not explicitly name any specific individual to be commemorated during National Heroes Day.

Commemorations often include key figures in Philippine history who are regarded as national heroes though it could also include "lesser-known" and "ordinary" Filipinos. Examples include Overseas Filipino Workers and frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

- International Order of Free Gardeners Jardin del Oriente Lodge No 57 Isabela de Basilan

Open invitation to attend a Free Gardeners' Meeting on the 28th and 29th September 2024 at Mannheim. Free Gardeners all over the world are welcome to partecipate!

🌿 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗬 𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝟭𝟲 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝟭𝟲𝟳𝟲

The Order of Free Gardeners is a fraternal society that was founded in Scotland in the middle of the 17th century and later spread to England and Ireland. Like numerous other friendly societies of the time, its principal aim was the sharing of secret knowledge linked to the profession and mutual aid. In the 19th century, its activities of mutual insurance became predominant.

🌿 𝕳𝖆𝖉𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖙𝖔𝖓 𝕷𝖔𝖉𝖌𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝕰𝖆𝖘𝖙 𝕷𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖆𝖓

The most ancient evidence of the order is a record of the minutes of the Haddington lodge, opened 16 August 1676, which begins with a compilation of fifteen rules called Interjunctions for ye Fraternity of Gardiners of East Lothian.

Scotland was, in the 17th century, subject to civil unrest and intermittent famines. Rich landowners were interested in Renaissance architecture and the design of formal gardens for their vast estates. The first members of the Haddington lodge were not gardeners by profession, but small landowners and farmers who practised gardening for pleasure. Not practising an urban profession, they could not obtain the status of an incorporation (similar to a guild in England) and modelled their organisation on the masons, who had an organisation, additional to and independent of their incorporation: the lodge.

This organisation set up in Haddington could be viewed as a primitive form of trade union. It organised co-operation between members, provided practical training and ethical development, and supported the poor, widows, and orphans. The lodges of gardeners were also the first to organise floral exhibitions, from 1772.

🌿 𝕯𝖚𝖓𝖋𝖊𝖗𝖒𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖊 𝕷𝖔𝖉𝖌𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝕱𝖎𝖋𝖊

About 1715, a lodge similar to Haddington was founded in Dunfermline, supported by two members of the local aristocracy, the Earl of Moray and the Marquess of Tweeddale. From its origin, it admitted numerous non-gardeners as members. It created a charitable society to benefit the widows, orphans, and poor of the lodge, sponsored a horse race and organised an annual horticultural fair before transforming itself little by little into a mutual aid society. It reached a membership of 212.

There is little information on the professions of the members before the end of the 17th century. During this period the Haddington lodge included merchants, tailors and clerks as well as gardeners. All the members of the lodge were originally from the county. On the other hand, the lodge at Dunfermline, former capital of Scotland, prided itself on counting among its members "numerous renowned persons of Edinburgh, as well as East Lothian including the Marquess of Tweeddale, the count of Haddington (Earl of Haddington), Lord William Hay etc".

The first record of the Dunfermline lodge was established in 1716 with the signatures of 214 members. At this time the membership was composed of a majority of gardeners by trade, but also numerous artisans and two members of the local aristocracy. Rapidly, the membership grew and the social level rose—to the point that the professional gardeners no longer formed the majority of new members—but the recruitment remained local. In 1721, 101 new members of all social statuses were admitted into the lodge, from gardeners and butchers to the Duke of Atholl. The following years saw a fairly large number of aristocrats initiated in Free Gardening in the Dunfermline lodge, even while they remain on the edge of the Haddington lodge, which remains mainly active. Most of these people possess famous gardens. Starting from 1736, the date of the creation of the (Masonic) Grand Lodge of Scotland, this tendency ceased and there were no more initiations of aristocrats in the Dunfermline lodge.

The lodges of Haddington and Dunfermline expanded their recruitment area widely without authorising creation of new lodges. It was only in 1796 that three new lodges were created: at Arbroath, Bothwell, and Cumbnathan.

🌿 𝕬𝖓𝖈𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝕺𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝕱𝖗𝖊𝖊 𝕲𝖆𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖘 𝕾𝖈𝖔𝖙𝖑𝖆𝖓𝖉

During the 18th century, about twenty other lodges were created, always in Scotland, and on 6 November 1849, they organised a meeting with a view to create a Grand Lodge. On this date, The Ancient Order of Free Gardeners Scotland formed at Penicuik.

Establishments then accelerated, and in 1859, in Edinburgh, the Grand Lodge gathered representatives from more than 100 lodges, including three established in the USA.

In 1956, due to falling attendances in Scotland, the Grand Lodge charter was transferred to Cape Town, South Africa. In September 2005, the Ancient Order returned to Scotland when the Countess of Elgin Lodge no. 105 received its Charter to meet in Dysart, Fife. 2006 sees the return of the Grand Lodge of Free Gardeners Scotland from Cape Town to Scotland.

At the peak of the movement there were more than 10,000 Free Gardeners for the Lothians alone, belonging to more than 50 lodges.

Encouraged by this success, competing horticultural societies appeared during the 19th century. Unlike the Free Gardeners, they did not have a charitable role, mutual help, or rituals, and they would accept anybody, male or female, who paid their dues.

🌿 The Twentieth Century

In the 20th century, the two World Wars called up most of the members. The economic crisis of 1929 weakened their charitable capacities. The social protection laws weakened the attraction of mutual aid, before the National Insurance Act 1946 removed their entire purpose. Even before the Second World War, the number of deaths exceeded the number of admissions to the lodges. In 1939, the minutes of the Haddington lodge were interrupted until 1952, when its eight last members attempted in vain to relaunch it. Despite the recruitment of new members, the Haddington fraternity pronounced its dissolution on 22 February 1953. The Dunfermline lodge lasted until the middle of the 1980s.

These disappearances were part of a wider social change. In 1950 there were around 30,000 Friendly Societies in the UK, while in 2000 there were fewer than 150. In 2000, the research of R. Cooper counted no more than a single lodge (in Bristol) for Great Britain, but mentioned the survival of the Order of Free Gardeners in the Antilles (Caribbean British Order of Free Gardners) and in Australia. In 2002, a conservation society was created in Scotland with aims of research and conservation of the traditions of this Order and some lodges were revived on this occasion.

As of 2013, The Grand United Order of Free Gardeners still operates in Victoria, Australia from the East Kew Masonic Centre. It meets monthly under the auspices of the Victorian Grand Lodge No. 1, and is the only known lodge operating in the southern hemisphere. In the 2020s,

Free Gardeners experienced a significant growth spurt at the turn of the last century, however, with new lodges subsequently formed in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, the USA, the Philippines, and elsewhere, with a lineage going back to the Scottish Grand Lodge.

🌿 Jardin del Oriente Lodge No 57 Isabela de Basilan

On 24 March 2024, the Jardin del Oriente Lodge No. 57 of Isabela de Basilan was established with patents issued by the Grand Lodge in London, United Kingdom, a continuation of the long lineage of Freegardeners which began its storied march through time, from the wintry, windswept coasts and highlands of Scotland to the lush, tropical islands of the Pacific ocean.

We are legion. We are one. And we are 348 years old!

Celebrating 348 years of the Order of Free Gardeners (established August 16, 1676 in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

🌿The Oldest Gardens of the World

Gardening first began in the forests in pre-historic times, and around 10,000 BC is thought to have evolved to the enclosure of outdoor space.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, thought to have been written as early as 2100 BC contains the oldest mentions of gardens in surviving literature. Gilgamesh states that his city Uruk was ‘one third gardens’, and in the story visits the ‘Garden of the gods’, a garden with precious stones, pearls and jewel-laden trees.

🌿Missouri Botanical Garden 🇺🇲 United States

The Missouri Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in continuous operation in the USA.

Founded in 1859, it houses one of the world’s biggest collections of rare and endangered orchids, and features 79 acres of horticultural displays.

The gardens were originally commissioned and funded by philanthropist Henry Shaw, who hired the services of George I. Barnett to design amongst other things a herbarium – which has now grown to house over 6.6 million specimens – making it the second biggest in the US.

There are more than 4,800 trees on the grounds of the Missouri Botanical Garden, with some specimens dating back to the 19th century.

Estimated Age: 165 years old

🌿Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland

Founded in 1670 by Dr. Robert Sibbald and Dr. Andrew Balfour, the Edinburgh Botanic Garden is the oldest botanic garden in Scotland and the second oldest in the UK after Oxford.

Between 1905 and 1932 plant hunter George Forrest added more than 10,000 different specimens to the collection at Edinburgh.

Estimated Age: 354 years old

🌿Oxford Botanic Garden 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England

Founded in 1621 following a donation of £5,000 by Henry Danvers, the 1st Earl of Danby, the University of Oxford Botanic Garden is the oldest botanic garden in the United Kingdom.

The site chosen was on the banks of the River Cherwell at corner of Christ Church Meadow, part of Magdalen College.

Part of the garden had in the past been a Jewish cemetery, until Jewish people were expelled from Oxford and the rest of the UK in 1290 under the ‘Edict of Expulsion’ issued by King Edward I.

Estimated Age: 403 years old

🌿Jardin de Plantes de Montpellier 🇫🇷 France

The oldest botanical garden in France, it was inspired by the Orto Botanico di Padova, and itself served as a model for the Jardin des plantes in Paris.

The garden was created in 1593 under the supervision of Pierre Richer de Belleval, established by letters patent from King Henri IV.

Today the garden holds around 2,680 different species of plant, 500 of which are native to the Mediterranean.

Estimated Age: 431 years old

🌿Fin Garden 🇮🇷 Iran

Completed in 1590, the Fin Garden is the oldest surviving garden in Iran, and part of the Persian Gardens, a designated World Heritage site.

The garden contains Kashan’s Fin Bath, where in 1852 the Qajarid chancellor Amir Kabir was assassinated by King Nasereddin Shah.

Estimated Age: 434 years old

🌿Orto Botanico di Firenze 🇮🇹 Italy

Also known as Giardino dei Semplici, the ‘Garden of Simples’, the garden was founded on December 1st 1545, by Cosimo I de’ Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany.

Early on the garden’s prime interest was medicinal plants, but in 1753 the Società Botanica was created and the focus changed to experimental agriculture.

Today the site occupies 2.3 hectares and contains over 9,000 plant specimens, including a Taxus baccata tree planted in 1720.

Estimated Age: 479 years old

🌿Orto Botanico di Padova 🇮🇹 Italy

Founded by the Venetian Republic in 1545 on the property of the Benedictine monks of St. Justine, the Orto Botanico di Padova in Padua, Italy, is the oldest surviving university botanical garden in the world.

The collection held many rare plants and was often targeted by thieves, so a circular enclosing wall had to be built around the gardens to protect them.

Estimated Age: 479 years old

🌿Ryoan-ji 🇯🇵 Japan

Although the site has temples and a history going back to the 11th century, the garden at Ryōan-ji was thought to have been built between 1450 and 1473.

A World Heritage site, it is considered to be one of the defining surviving examples of a form of Japanese Zen temple garden design called kare-sansui or ‘dry landscape’.

Estimated Age: 574 years old

🌿The College Garden at Westminster Abbey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England

Founded by monks and used as an Infirmarer’s Garden growing medicinal herbs and food.

College Garden is thought to have been in continuous cultivation for over 900 years – making it the oldest in England.

Estimated Age: Over 900 years old

🌿Classical Gardens of Suzhou 🇹🇼 China

The Classical Gardens of Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, China, were founded in the 6th Century, at a time that the city was capital of the Wu Kingdom.

Many dozens of gardens were built, and over 50 still survive – nine of which: Humble Administrator’s Garden, Lingering Garden, Net Master’s Garden, the Mountain Villa with Embracing Beauty, the Canglang Pavilion, the Lion Grove Garden, the Garden of Cultivation, the Couple’s Garden Retreat, and the Retreat & Reflection Garden, are considered to be the embodiment of Chinese ‘Mountain and Water’ gardening.

The oldest known of these gardens is the Canglang Pavilion, which was built in the 11th century on the site of another destroyed garden.

This means that the Canglang Pavilion is possibly the oldest surviving garden in the world.

Estimated Age: 980 years old

🌿Water Gardens of Sagiriya 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka

The oldest surviving garden of all is on an archaeological site. It was probably created to decorate the imperial citadel of prince Kasyapa, between 477 and 495 CE. The garden is divided into three sections: a water garden designed with a Persian charbagh quadrilateral layout, a terraced garden laid out on a pre-existing slope and a garden of stones and cavities connected by winding paths.

Estimated age: 2,519 years

🌿Hanging Gardens of Babylon 🇮🇶 Iraq

One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World listed by Hellenic culture. They were described as a remarkable feat of engineering with an ascending series of tiered gardens containing a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and vines, resembling a large green mountain constructed of mud bricks. It was said to have been built in the ancient city of Babylon, near present-day Hillah, Babil province, in Iraq. The Hanging Gardens' name is derived from the Greek word κρεμαστός (kremastós, lit. 'overhanging'), which has a broader meaning than the modern English word "hanging" and refers to trees being planted on a raised structure such as a terrace.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were actually the well-documented gardens constructed by the Assyrian king Sennacherib (reigned 704 – 681 BC) for his palace at Nineveh.

Estimated age: 2,705 years

The ancient Order has been around for 348 years,the ancient Craft of Gardenry for much, much longer.
