Here’s everything you need to know – straight from the experts – about gardening. And if you’re not ready to get your hands dirty any time soon, we’ve also found the best spots to buy or order local produce.

In a short stroll through Furman University’s community garden this time of year, you can find the last remnants of its leafy spinach crop, a row of chard, chocolate and apple mint sprouting in groups, and dutiful planters sowing seeds for the summer harvest.

Farm director Bruce Adams said the garden grows about 30 to 40 types of crops yearround — each season, volunteers harvest crops and plant new ones in preparation for the next season.

April is one of the farm’s transition months — the farm helpers are still harvesting some of the winter crops while planting their summer ones.

Adams said there’s a short window to plant summer crops — most farmers wait until mid-April to ensure they aren’t damaged by a surprise frost, but summer crops also need to be planted prior to May. Until the end of April, Adams and volunteers at the farm will finish planting okra, beans, corn, squash, tomatoes, onions, eggplant, and zucchini in compost-enriched soil.

The compost soil is particularly key for hardto-grow plants, such as corn.

“One of the hardest plants to grow is corn because corn has the heaviest nitrogen pull of all your veggies, and corn demands proper soil conditions,” Adams said.

Other plants don’t take as much effort. Adams said onions and peppers are easier options for new gardeners because they are hardy.

“Onions would probably be, hands-down, the most care-free because they’re a bulb,” Adams said. “Bulbs, you pretty much just put in the ground and watch them grow — you can’t mess them up.”

Adams also said insects and pests tend to

stay away from onions and peppers. Instead of using pesticide to deter insects, Adams uses warm water, a teaspoon of canola or peppermint oil, and a teaspoon of antibacterial Dawn soap mixed together in a spray bottle. If it rains, it has to be reapplied, but generally Adams sprays the plants early in the morning a couple of times a week.

For anyone who wants locally grown, organic produce but lacks a green thumb, the farm at Furman is a community supported agriculture (CSA) garden, where you can pay $95 per month and pick up a box of vegetables each week.

Master Gardeners n story by Melody Cuenca

Calling all plant lovers! Whether you have a knack for gardening or you kill every plant you touch, you can count on the Greater Greenville Master Gardener Association to help your flowers flourish this spring.

With April 16 being the last frost date, now makes the perfect time to get a little dirty in the garden. “By that date, we have about a 10 percent chance of getting a frost, [which] kills tender plants that have lots of water in them,” long-time master gardener Kelly Toadvine says.

Toadvine recommends planting summer annuals and pollinator plants in your garden this spring. Pollinators encourage bees and other insects to pollinate, which sustains our ecosystems.

“Fruit trees and blueberries are something really easy for folks to grow,” Toadvine says. “They don’t realize you can plant a blueberry bush right in your

flower beds with everything else.”

Still not sure which plants to get? GGMGA will hold its annual Plant Sale Fundraiser on April 27 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Roper Mountain Science Center parking lot. At least 75 certified master gardeners will be working the event to answer all

“We don’t buy [the plants] from a nursery,” Toadvine says. “They’re dug out of our gardens…, put in pots, maintained, babysat — or ‘plant-sat’ as we call it — and then labeled, priced and ready for the sale that day.”

Toadvine says all master gardeners see their plants as their babies. The proud

Greenville Seed Library n story by Cindy Landrum

Growing your own food can be intimidating at first.

There’s deciding what, where and when to plant, all of which play a major role in whether the gardener gets a bountiful harvest or a big basket of disappointment.

A new seed library, established by the Greenville County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Greenville County Library System, can help.

“We’re hoping to simplify things,” said Shelby Cohen, community relations coordinator for the soil and water conservation district.

The Seed Library, the first in Greenville County, is a free, accessible source of vegetable, herb and flower seeds. It is located at the Sarah Dobey Jones brach library in Berea. The varieties are chosen because they grow well in this area.

Library card holders may select up to 10 seed packets per visit. In addition to seeds, the seed library also has a Greenville growing guide that will include information about when to plant, how far apart the plants need to be, and the number of days until harvest.

The program also includes monthly workshops.

The Seed Library has garden favorites such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, but also includes less familiar varieties such as ground cherries, kohlrabi, and tatsoi, an Asian green.

The Seed Library opened on Feb. 23 and 6,800 packets had been distributed as of last week.

“We wanted to capitalize on the renewed interest in growing your own food,” she said. Cohen said the seed library is also designed to encourage backyard conservation practices.

MEET THE FACE BEHIND

#YEAH, THAT

GREENVILLE story by MELODY CUENCA

Jay Adams is the social media content manager for VisitGreenvilleSC.

It won’t take you long to see #yeahTHATgreenville on at least one social media post today. As the brand of VisitGreenvilleSC, the hashtag has been used in over 1.3 million Instagram posts since its creation in 2013.

Now, meet the man behind the growing brand’s social media — Jay Adams. A born New Yorker, Adams fell in love with storytelling as a high school junior taking a newspaper class.

During his first assignment, Adams realized the power and influence behind storytelling. “So that one story was really a gateway to this whole other world that I had never considered,” he says.

After covering sports for various newspapers for a while, Adams decided to go back to school to learn the digiphoto by ALYCIA ANDRADE tal side of storytelling. “I kind of stumbled on this idea of social media for businesses,” he says. He was instantly hooked.

“I don’t consider myself a marketer,” Adams says. “But I like to storytell because I think it’s a roundabout way to get to marketing.”

Adams’ passion for storytelling, social media, and sports landed him a job managing digital and social content for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons for about six years.

Now, Adams continues to tell stories in the form of social media posts for VisitGreenvilleSC. Relocating to Greenville for the job about nine months ago, Adams loved the change of pace and scenery he found here.

Calling #yeahTHATgreenville an embracing rather than simply a slogan, Adams says it resonates strongly with Greenville tourists and locals.

“What this job has done for me personally is it pushed me to learn so much more about the community that I live in,” he says. “It’s really helped create the sense of belonging already and responsibility.”

With about 95 percent of the brand’s

FEDERAL COURTHOUSE

rendering by GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

Sen. Lindsey Graham, family of Gov. Carroll Campbell attend groundbreaking on federal courthouse n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photo by JOHN OLSON

“

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO BUILD A COURTHOUSE, AT A VERY MINIMUM. // SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM has been a long time coming.

“I’ve been doing this about 14 or 15 years now — it’s one of the most frustrating things I’ve done in politics, and I’m hoping it will be one of the more rewarding things,” Graham said.

Mayor Knox White said the courthouse had been in the planning stages for so long that former United States Rep. Jim DeMint helped advocate for its name prior to becoming a U.S. senator.

“That’s how long [ago] it was. I believe at the time we had the support of Congressman Abraham Lincoln as well,” White said.

White said the location of the courthouse is apt — prior to entering politics, Campbell ran a parking lot management company that sat across the street from the new federal courthouse lot. White said he also spent much of his free time talking to people at the Corner Pocket billiards bar, which sat a block down the street before it closed in 2014.

“His relationships, and the people, and the anecdotes, and the stories — 30 years later, we would hear about that man he met at the Corner Pocket and what he told him. It was immensely influential on him,” White said.

“And we put the Carroll Campbell courthouse right there in his neighborhood.”

It’s been more than a decade since Congress initially earmarked funds for a new federal courthouse in Greenville, and now, ground has officially been broken on the site where a parking lot once sat on East North Street downtown.

Sen. Lindsey Graham and members of Gov. Carroll Campbell’s family attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the courthouse named in his honor.

“It takes a village to build a courthouse, at a very minimum,” Graham said.

The $105-million Carroll A. Campbell Jr. United States Courthouse will be a 10-story, 193,000-square-foot facility that will house seven courtrooms and chambers for nine judges, along with offices for the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and a federal public defender. The project is primarily funded and led by the United States General Services Administration (GSA).

Graham said he hopes the courthouse represents the best in the rule of law.

“In America, the rich don’t pay because they can, only because they should,” Graham said. “And nobody is too poor or too small to challenge the mightiest of us all.”

Graham said construction on the project

City Council candidate says everybody needs a seat at the table as Greenville grows Lindsey Jacobs is running for Greenville City Council because she believes neighborhoods like hers and residents like her need equal representation if Greenville is going to be a city for ev-

eryone.

“In this moment of tremendous change, we have to decide if we are going to grow together — all of us — or leave some of our neighbors behind,” said Jacobs, a 34-year-old Nicholtown resident who is the policy and advocacy director at Public Education Partners, an independent nonprofit dedicated to improving education.

Jacobs is running for one of City Council’s at-large seats. She will face Dorothy Dowe in the Democratic primary on June 11. The winner will face incumbent Republican George Fletcher in the Nov. 5 general election.

She said she will fight to protect the city’s most vulnerable neighborhoods, to fully fund Greenlink, and for truly affordable housing, and she won’t shy away from necessary conversations about opportunity inequality in the city.

“In order for this community to grow together, we need visionary, inclusive

leadership,” she said.

On her campaign website, Jacobs lists four main issues: affordable housing, accessible government, mass transit and sustainability, and economic inequality.

Jacobs said she would hold regular office hours in neighborhoods across the city. She also advocates broadcasting and recording City Council and committee-of-the-whole meetings as well as occasionally holding council meetings in neighborhoods. She said boards and commissions should reflect the city’s diversity.

Jacobs said the city must continue to invest in the Greenville Housing Fund with a recurring line item of at least $1 million in its annual budget and overhaul its zoning laws to allow for increased density.

She said the city should work with the county to fully fund Greenlink’s Transit Development Plan to expand the public transportation system.

Jacobs serves on the city’s GVL2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, the Greenville County Board of Zoning Appeals, and the South Carolina Food Policy Council. She founded the Greenville Food and Farm Coalition and co-founded the Greenville Civic Project, aimed at growing Greenville’s civic knowledge and participation.

She oversees the Nicholtown Community Garden and has participated in the inaugural Greenlink Citizens Transit Academy.

John DeWorken takes another run at a Greenville City Council seat John DeWorken served as president of the North Main Community Association for the past two years and as a board member for four.

Now, he wants to represent the area on the Greenville City Council.

DeWorken, who ran unsuccessfully for an at-large council seat during the 2017 municipal election, is running for the City Council District 1 seat as a Republican. District 1 includes the North Main area as well as the area around Bob Jones University.

He will face attorney Matt Johnson in the Nov. 5 general election.

DeWorken’s list of top issues facing the city — strengthening neighborhoods, managing growth, and addressing traffic and affordable housing — haven’t changed from when he ran two years ago.

He said that as neighborhood president he fought for safer neighborhoods; park improvements, including North Main Rotary Park; enhanced green spaces; and for improving major arteries, such as Wade Hampton Boulevard and Stone Avenue. He worked

to slow cars down, fought against commercial creep, and fought for better and safer crosswalks.

“As a former neighborhood president, I fully understand the importance to ensure our neighborhoods are safe, green, and protected,” he said. “I will unapologetically fight to make sure our neighborhoods have the strongest voice on City Council.”

DeWorken said the city needs to “plan smartly and execute wisely” when it comes to growth.

“We must deliberately think before adding more apartments downtown; we must address traffic issues, enhance our commercial corridors, stop commercial creep into our neighborhoods, support affordable housing solutions, and adequately fund Greenlink [the public transportation system],” he said on his campaign website.

DeWorken is a partner in The Sunnie & DeWorken Group, a pro-business, South Carolina-based government relations and advocacy firm. He served as vice president of government relations and communications for the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and the Upstate Chamber Coalition before starting his own business. He also served as vice chairman of the Greenville Transit Authority board. He is a Leadership Greenville graduate.

His campaign website is johndeworken.com.

A PARENT’S ONE STOP SHOP Greenville County Schools to pilot one-stop online program for parents n story by ARIEL GILREATH

Students in Greenville County Schools have been using an online program called “Backpack” for several years — it houses their grades, class schedules, teacher information, and more in an easily accessible online portal. Now, parents will get their own version of Backpack where they’ll be able to access information on their students in one place.

The district is rolling out a pilot of the program after spring break to test it and work through any issues before it is accessible to all schools this summer.

Parents will be able to access not only grades and class schedules, but also their students’ lunch accounts, district/ school-level notifications, teacher contact information, disciplinary information, and driver pickup designees. Par-

1. To qualify for this offer, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this offer between 03/25/2019 and 05/31/2019. This offer is subject to change at any time, without notice. This offer is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: AR, CT, DC, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, NJ, NY, SC, TX and VA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 2.08% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money (from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or its affiliates) to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the term of this offer. The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.10%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply, and the interest rate will revert to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account. As of 02/15/2019, the standard interest rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in AR, CT, DC, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, NJ, NY, SC, TX and VA with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, standard interest rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. Offer not available to Private Banking or Wealth customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 03/25/2019 to 05/31/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its affiliates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only.

At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. 1,2. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer, except the Portfolio

by Wells Fargo $500 offer, available from March 25, 2019 until May 31, 2019. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3.

If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

CLEAN ENERGY

Senate set to overhaul clean energy and make solar more competitive

by R. TAYLOR SPEER Taylor Speer is a lawyer at Turner Padget Graham and Laney, P.A. where he co-chairs the firm’s energy practice and serves Greenville residents on the Energy and Buildings subcommittee of the Green Ribbon Advisory Committee.

STAY PROTECTED, WITH NO SPF REQUIRED With winter behind us, boating season is here. While many people are planning trips to the lake or beach, boat storage may be far from their minds.

“You store your boat indoors for the same reason you keep your car in a garage - to keep it protected,” said Blake Jones, General Manager of Take Cover Storage, Lake Keowee. “It keeps the boat in the best shape. You don’t have critters getting into it.

You have fewer maintenance problems. You don’t have to worry about environmental issues whether it’s hail from a storm or a tree branch falling on it.”

In addition to avoiding environmental impacts year-round, using a facility like Take Cover provides an extra measure of security for a boat and other equipment, like water skis or tubes, that an owner may want to keep with his or her boat.

According to Jones, Take Cover’s facility uses 42 indoor and 6 outdoor cameras to ensure that their customers’ boats are constantly monitored.

According to Jones, storing a boat closer to where it’s being used is more convenient because it takes less gas than hauling it from home. Also, the owner is avoiding additional wear-and-tear on his or her personal vehicle by not having to travel to and from home with the boat.

“

OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS AS MUCH TIME ON THE WATER, ENJOYING THEMSELVES, AS POSSIBLE. BLAKE JONES

General Manager, Take Cover Storage, Lake Keowee

Take Cover offers marina amenities and concierge services through their “Virtual Marina.” On-site ethanol-free fuel, repair and transport services, as well as boat cleaning and detailing are some of the most popular offerings. “Our goal is to give our customers as much time on the water, enjoying themselves, as possible. Before you get your boat to take it to the lake, we pull it out and splash wash it. We are going to check your battery and tire pressure on your trailer to make sure you are ready to go,” said Jones. “After a full day on the lake, there’s still work to be done. We take care of all of that – cleaning out the trash, rinsing the boat, drying out lifejackets – our customers don’t have to hassle with any of those things.”

A P R I L 19 / / G R E E N V I L L E J O U R N A L . C O M

With the unanimous passing of the Energy Freedom Act in the South Carolina House of Representatives in February, our state is closer to a watershed moment for clean energy. As tide and temperature rise, the Senate now votes whether to protect 3,000 solar jobs in South Carolina; give ratepayers a bill of rights; and require utilities to plan for and report on introducing renewable energy onto their grids.

Lawmakers were not intended to get their hands dirty. As the two-percent netmetering cap loomed, stakeholders of Act 236 (“A236”) – the state’s first renewable energy law – convened again years later to draft a second compromise bill for the General Assembly. Notwithstanding good intentions and hard work, negotiations impassed without the necessary follow-up to A236. The players were ready to act though, and after one of the first ever hearings before the newly-formed energy caucus in Columbia, the Energy Freedom Act (“H3659”) passed the House and is currently on the Senate floor.

The importance of H3659 is best understood in context. Utilities in South Carolina exchange regulation for guaranteed profit. Solar can hardly compete in such a unique market without A236. The law requires utilities to provide net-me-

tering, which measures generation from rooftop solar, just as traditional meters measure consumption. This data provides the basis for utilities to pay for the surplus energy homeowners and businesses generate from rooftop arrays. Without this two-way street, solar cannot be scaled because it is too expensive for the average owner. The law also provides certainty for developers of large-scale solar by implementing standards for the connection of solar farms to the grid. Without these important standards, capital investments in big solar projects – the same ones that measurably reduce carbon – are too risky so the money dries up.

Just as A236 gives solar a fighting chance in a regulated monopoly, it also caps growth. The mandate after all was a compromise between industry, commerce and the environment – a tall order.

Duke Energy already hit these caps and SCE&G (soon to be Dominion Energy) will follow in next month. H3659 lifts these restrictions, just in time, by eliminating the net-metering cap until 2021 and requiring important grid-connection standards for even higher capacity solar farms. Importantly, H3659 will also provide better terms to utility-scale developers because the bill forces utilities to re-

NEED TO KNOW

port on how they calculate the price they pay to purchase energy from solar farms and other renewable sources. This way the bill ensures that clean energy remains competitive in a market that is not otherwise constrained by traditional supply and demand.

Most Greenville ratepayers are Duke Energy customers and therefore did not feel the sting of the VC Summer fiasco directly. H3659 addresses it statewide by

allowing the Public Service Commission to require an independent audit of big utility projects like the construction of new plants. Important for clean energy, the bill requires utilities to report to the Public Service Commission how they are

working with renewables and energy efficiency solutions and how they plan to incorporate their value onto the grid. Our utilities have been reluctant to comment publicly on the elephant in the room. This bill forces them to consider and communicate with regulators about the relative costs and efficacy of emerging renewable technologies, including battery storage.

While all the focus seems to be on netmetering, this sleeper mandate could be a heavy hitter for a long term policy shift towards clean energy in South Carolina.

The future of clean energy in South Carolina hangs on the Senate’s consideration of H3659. It needs to pass. Please contact your legislatures to support this important law. If successful, lawmakers move to work on other important energy issues in the state. South Carolina needs to provide nonprofits and municipalities the same incentives that taxable entities like residents and businesses take advantage of while implementing renewable energy into their portfolios. And maybe, just maybe, the General Assembly will follow the lead of many other states and mandate a minimum clean generation requirement for South Carolina.

THINGS TO SEE & DO

Seward says flowers bring life within an environment. She strives to make wild and unusual designs.

As a child, Elizabeth Seward grew up saying she’d be an artist one day, but she didn’t think that creative expression would look like armfuls of greenery and colorful blooms.

Seward started her own company, Philo Floral, in 2016. With a background in horticulture, a growing curiosity with nature, and the desire to break out on her own, she’s a self-made and self-taught creator.

Philo Floral’s modern arrangements draw inspiration from nature itself. They push the boundaries of standard design to create something enchanting and whimsical.

Celebrating space and strangeness, each arrangement looks unique — intertwined with dried branches, flowers with naturally

36

A P R I L 19 / / G R E E N V I L L E J O U R N A L . C O M

bent stems, succulents, or fruits. The weirder, the wilder, the better at Philo Floral.

As a studio florist, Seward ensures detailed attention and a nontraditional approach to each unique commission. “It’s kind of like a dress,” Seward says. “If you were to make a dress for someone, you’d make it specifically tailored to them.”

Floristry as an art form utilizes color reference, seasonal flowers, and good design.

“I really do like … crafting and creating the overall image for the client,” Seward says. “The enjoyable part is getting to know them, getting to know what their vision is for their event, and their personality, and how I can transform that into flowers, overall design, and an aesthetic for their event.”

In an evolving industry, Seward sees Philo Floral growing into a brand broader than just floral design. “I’m seeing more and more trust within my brand develop as time passes, and I want to keep elevating people’s idea of what a floral designer really can be,” she says.

Seward has two sources of inspiration, one that soothes her creatively and one that

“

THERE’S A LOT MORE GROWTH HAPPENING AND A LOT MORE OPEN-MINDEDNESS. IT’S FUN TO BE ON THE CUSP OF IT AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE IN THAT DIRECTION. ELIZ ABETH SEWARD florist

keeps her momentum going.

“Of course the wild movement and change in nature will always and forever be a massive part of a florist’s inspiration, but I find that people in my field are pushing the envelope way beyond the means of standard design, and that to me is a creative leapingoff point,” she says.

Her other source of inspiration is what propels her forward — her late father. “I do most of this for him and for my future.”

As a Greenville native, Seward’s work contributes to a growing creative community. “There’s a lot more growth happening and a lot more open-mindedness,” she says.

“It’s fun to be on the cusp of it and influence people in that direction.”

As the mind and woman-power of Philo Floral, Seward has learned a lot about starting her own company.

“Working with the flowers is the easiest part,” she laughs. The rest is all logistics — researching, sourcing product, pricing, organizing, and interacting with clients.

Philo Floral’s studio is located in the Village of West Greenville at 46 Lois Ave.

MERLEFEST MUSIC FEST

n story by MIKE HEMBREE | photo by TATE FINLEY

Steep Canyon Rangers among many popular acts at this year’s Merlefest Graham Sharp has gone from working security to stardom at the Merlefest music festival.

Sharp plays banjo with the Grammywinning Steep Canyon Rangers and will be on stage with the group Sunday afternoon during the popular festival April 25-28 at Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, N.C. The Rangers, one of America’s top bluegrass bands and frequent collaborators with comedian/musician Steve Martin, have played 10 times at Merlefest, which brings together an eclectic mix of dozens of singer-songwriters and bands.

But Sharp, one of the band’s founders, remembers a time when he was on the other side of the fence.

“We used to go there and camp out,” he said. “Some years we went and never made it into the festival proper. We

camped out and played music. Didn’t have the money to get in.

“I remember volunteering to get in for the first time. I worked perimeter security. ‘Strong-arming.’ I didn’t really have to do much.”

Now Sharp and the Rangers are one of the festival’s featured groups. Their polished brand of musicianship and songwriting has garnered fans across the country and across the Atlantic, and their Sunday afternoon set is likely to be a Merlefest highlight.

Sharp said the group plans to play what it calls a “North Carolina Songbook,” doing tunes written by North Carolinians including Earl Scruggs, Elizabeth Cotten, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Poole, and, of course, Doc Watson, whose career is celebrated at Merlefest. The festival is named for Watson’s son, Merle, who also

was a musician.

“A lot of it really centers around Doc and all the different influences he drew from,” Sharp said. “He played such a wide spectrum of music. We’re going to try to take a little bit of this and a little bit of that and put it in the Steep Canyon thing.”

More than 80 artists and bands are scheduled to play at the festival. Included are The Avett Brothers, Brandi Carlile, Amos Lee, Wynonna and the Big Noise, the Del McCoury Band, Dailey and Vincent, Keb Mo, Donna the Buffalo, and Jim Lauderdale.

The festival is a reunion of sorts for many of the players. Ace musicians like mandolinist Sam Bush and dobro master Jerry Douglas often sit in with bands during their sets, adding to the musical mix.

“I was blown away the first time we

Easter Changes Everything!

played with Sam Bush,” Sharp said. “He could just step on the stage and kill it, but I couldn’t believe how much preparation he had put into it for somebody who has played with everybody. He had a big notebook. That made a big impression on me.”

The six members of the Steep Canyon Rangers live in Asheville and Brevard, North Carolina. When they travel, they often meet at the Mills River Walmart.

It’s on the way to Merlefest.

WITH VINCENT HARRIS Guitarist Charlie Hunter and vocalist Lucy Woodward are accomplished, entertaining musicians. Hunter, who plays seven- and eight-stringed instruments, is a fluid, flexible player who has just as much of an ear for tasty funk grooves as he does delectable jazz-playing. And Woodward has a powerful, soulful voice that she’s used to perform backing vocals with a wide array of artists, while maintaining a solo career chock full of jazz and blues-oriented releases.

Together with drummer Derrek Phillips on their new album, “Music! Music!

Music!,” Hunter and Woodward are a funky groove machine on a set of 11 tunes, throwing in surprisingly danceable versions of Lucinda Williams’ “Can’t Let Go,” the jazz standard “Angel Eyes,” and, of all things, the 1895 song “You’ve Been a Good Old Wagon,” one of the first ragtime songs.

So their trio performance at The Spinning Jenny in Greer will probably be a great evening of funky-jazz-soul music. But even if that weren’t the case, it might be worth seeing Hunter and Woodward just for their rapid-fire interplay. In conversation, the two can’t resist falling into a sort of straight-man-and-wisecracker back-andforth when they talk about how they got together and the way they ended up making an album.

“I had a tour scheduled with a woman named Silvana Estrada, a Mexican artist, and her visa was canceled at the last minute,” Hunter says. “And I had to find a singer to fill in all these dates. And through a mutual friend of ours I found out that Lucy was available for most of the dates.”

With little time to prepare before touring with Hunter, Woodward and the guitarist began building a repertoire of songs to play via text messages, and because they hadn’t collaborated before, the songs were all covers they were both familiar with.

When Woodward says that they were aware of each other because she and Hunter ran in the same musical circles, Hunter can’t help but interject.

“She has a really big circle and I have this tiny, tiny, black dot circle which doesn’t in-

Woodward then tries to get things back on track with a brief explanation: “He’s very foggy from all this driving we’re doing,” she says.

Road fatigue aside, the story continues.

By the time they’d reached the end of the tour, Woodward and Hunter realized they

had something special, so they went into the studio with their exact onstage repertoire in hand and recorded “Music! Music!

Music!”

Hunter and Woodward say they will be making another record together.

“Whether it sells five copies or 500 or 5 million, we’ll make another record together,” Woodward says.

THREE OF A KIND

The Kruger Brothers blend classical, bluegrass, folk music n story by VINCE HARRIS | photos provided by THE KRUGER BROTHERS

It’s a rare band whose most recent lineup change came 30 years ago, but that’s when bassist Joel Landsberg joined Jens and Uwe Kruger in the aptly-named acoustic music group the Kruger Brothers. The European-born Kruger siblings (Jens plays banjo and Uwe plays guitar) have been together as a band since 1979, crafting a daring-but-beguiling blend of folk, classical and bluegrass music that’s surprisingly flexible.

They can play their pieces, many of which were composed by Jens, as a trio or with all manner of classical ensembles backing them, from a string quartet to full symphony orchestras. And what’s perhaps most appealing about their music is that the trio doesn’t really recognize any boundaries between genres.

There’s really only one dividing line when it comes to what they play.

“The common ground is that there’s no such thing as bad music,” Landsberg says. “There’s badly PLAYED music.

There are only 12 notes, and you can only put them together in so many finite ways. So it’s just what you put in as far as feeling goes.”

And Landsberg thinks that there’s no better way for the Kruger Brothers to play their “good” music than in their long-standing trio formation, without any extra bells and whistles to hide behind.

“Each voice is so vital and important to the music in a trio,” he says. “A lot of times in a bluegrass situation, you’ll have a guitar and a mandolin and a violin and there’s room to kind of blend into the mix, whereas with a trio, every note is vital. Every instrument is important for the sound. There’s nowhere to hide, It’s

THINGS TO SEE & DO

exhilarating and it’s challenging.”

There’s also something to be said for experience. This trio, who will perform at the Chapman Cultural Center in Spar-

tanburg next Thursday evening, has three-decades plus of time together and their level of communication onstage allows for some serious daredevil-style improvisation.

“For us, no two shows are exactly the same,” Landsberg says. “We’ve been together so long and we know each other on such a fundamental level that we can literally turn on a dime as far as the program is concerned, or even in the midst of a song. Uwe can take a guitar solo in

| ARTS & CULTURE

another direction and we can just follow him. That makes for a lot of excitement both on stage and in the audience.”

There’s a deeper connection in the Kruger Brothers’ music as well; a connection between folk music and classical music that often gets overlooked.

“A lot of classical music is based on folk themes,” Landsberg says. “Classical and folk music are very closely tied to together.”

Whatever the roots of their genrebending music, Landsberg says that the ultimate goals are to give people a musical experience they’ll never forget, and to create a space where the audience can escape the outside world for a while.

“We try to aim for emotion; for the hearts of the people,” he says. “We’re not trying to intellectualize what we do.

We’re not a dance band and we’re not playing free-jazz. We try to give people something that they can take home with them and feel good about. There’s so much chaos going on in the world right now that we want to give people a couple of hours of mental meditation and personal reflection in the music.”

The word obligation isn’t quite right, but Landsberg says the trio absolutely takes their occupation seriously.

“It’s definitely a responsibility where you’re in front of 400 people or 10,000,” he says. “You have so much power from the stage. You have a responsibility to impart goodness.”

n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by WILL CROOKS

It’s all about the flavor for farmer Chris Miller.

Operating under the name That Garden Guy, Miller undertakes no-till, nospray gardening in all of his projects in order to accomplish that.

Those large-scale projects include a half-acre garden, raised beds, and greenhouse on the 9-acre Saskatoon Lodge property; the Oak Hill Cafe garden and greenhouse; a community garden at a Greer manufacturing plant, Mariplast North America, with 15 25-foot beds; and the 20-acre Horseshoe Farm in Travelers Rest that is a partnership with chef Greg McPhee of The Anchorage.

What a no-till practice means is that Miller allows the ecosystem of the soil to remain undisturbed, as much as possible, to allow the worms and beneficial bacteria to do their job. It also means that since he has chosen not to spray his crops with even organic pesticides, he assumes an enormous amount of risk should pests invade. The reward of the vibrantly colored crops with equally vibrant flavor is worth it, he says.

Aside from Horseshoe Farm, the other locations are essentially urban gardens, near busy thoroughfares and surrounded by other businesses. Here, Miller has found a niche market.

At Saskatoon, which sits between the proposed Swamp Rabbit Trail extension along Laurens Road and Haywood Road, he’s giving owner Edmund Woo the opportunity to provide his guests with true farm-to-fork dining.

Recently, Miller harvested 50 pounds of radishes and 20 pounds of salad greens from the Saskatoon garden.

“It’s just walking into the fridge,” Miller says. “They didn’t have any prior experience with farm to table, and [Woo] saw opportunity with his space.”

Miller has been working with chef David Porras along with Aaron von Frank, the self-proclaimed “plant nerd” of Tyrant Farms, to use the no-till method to their advantage. Keeping the soil intact often allows crops not indigenous to the area to grow.

“We’ve been working together to see what actually makes sense,” Miller says. “David wants to do a lot of unique varieties. I’ve always been excited to experiment.”

But, since restaurant margins are narrow and this is Oak Hill’s first go at it, Miller is also careful to make sure what comes out of the farm helps them be profitable. The key for this project is striking a balance between the experimental and staple items, he says.

The Mariplast North America garden is the first such project Miller has undertaken and one he hopes will serve as a model for other businesses. The company asked him to create a garden that would provide fresh produce for its employees. It also gives them a chance to work on the garden together.

“It’s really encouraging to me that a

company would have this as an amenity for their employees,” Miller says.

The Horseshoe Farm project, in contrast, will allow Miller to expand beyond the confines of typical commercial property lines.

With acres and acres to use, surrounded by ponds and wildlife, he is both overwhelmed by the amount of work he has undertaken, and also thrilled to have a work site where he can take a break from the physically demanding weeding and harvesting to cast a line in the ponds and pull in a large bass.

At Horseshoe he’s growing summer squash, sugar snap peas and snow peas, turnips, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, bitter greens, Napa cabbage, all sorts of baby Asian greens, and much more. He plans to expand over the next few months and add mushrooms in the wooded areas and bees.

“I just want to have really quality produce above everything,” he says. “I want the flavor and I want to be able to take it from when I harvest it, and just put it on a plate Dan Barber-style.”
