Master Gardeners of Roane County Master Gardeners of Roane County (MGRC) is a trained and dedicated volunteer network that expands the outreach of the Tennessee Master Gardener Program to serve the horticulture education needs of the Roane County community through civic organizations, schools, and local events.

MGRC activities include: • Conducting gardening workshops and seminars throughout the year • Coordinating and managing gardening-related service projects • Answering gardening or landscaping questions posed by community residents • Writing about gardening topics of interest to our community • Providing landscape design for community parks • Educating children through school sponsored programs

THE GARDENS AT ROANE COUNTY PARK The Gardens at Roane County Park are demonstration gardens designed to show the community “the art of the possible” for gardening in the local area. In partnership with Roane County Parks and Recreation, the Master Gardeners of Roane County started in 2009 with nothing but a pile of rocks. Over time, The Gardens have evolved to include a series of eleven themed gardens that demonstrate ideas and techniques suitable for the home landscape. Under the dedicated leadership of Ailene Radcliffe and Bobbi Heneisen, MGRC members volunteer countless hours to maintain The Gardens and keep them beautiful.

AILENE RADCLIFFE Ailene Radcliffe describes her garden as a work of love. When she and her husband Larry retired to Kingston she joined the Harriman Garden Club; becoming a Master Gardener soon followed and she has applied her vision, hard work, and generous donations of plants to The Gardens at Roane County Park. She quickly became an overly enthusiastic plant collector. Daylilies, irises, roses, hydrangeas, azaleas, cannas, hostas, bulbs and more eventually evolved into a garden with 7 raised vegetable beds and perennial borders landscaped with shrubs and trees. As she and the garden both mature, limiting maintenance is becoming a priority that brings new challenges. Removing two dead trees has brought the opportunity to design a new area that will include two small ornamental trees, flowering shrubs, rock and garden art. She says, “There is always something new to learn and enjoy. The garden is continually changing, just like me.”

KATHRYN COGAR In 2004, when Kathryn Cogar and her late husband Graham Walford bought the old Elmer Johnson farm on “Johnny Holler” Rd., there was nothing but a barn and the neighbor’s cows on the property. Passed over by developers, the rolling 34 acres ranged from flat to hilly to steep, from dry to marshy, and from open pasture to clear cut hillsides to ridge top mature forest. Today the property has been transformed into a series of gardens, focused on diversity and all-season landscaping. There is something interesting going on all the time. Kathryn began by bringing in plants from her yard in Oak Ridge, mostly shade-loving native wildflowers and a few daylilies. With plenty of room, the daylilies quickly expanded to a collection that now numbers over 600 named varieties. “They are so easy to grow and so beautiful; they quickly became an addiction,” she confesses. Each area presents a unique set of growing conditions. “I‘ve tried to let the land dictate what should be planted. It’s definitely been a learning experience.” In an area shaded by red maple and tulip poplar, the creek has been widened out to create a small pond, with a natural stone waterfall that looks as though it has always been there. Azaleas, wildflowers and other shade lovers grow happily in the woodland setting. Across the diverse landscape flowers provide an everchanging color palette. Thousands of daffodils start the show, quickly followed by flowering cherries, peaches and redbuds. Iris, azaleas, peonies and dogwoods make the next wave and daylilies are the highlight of the summer. Shrubs and trees define spaces and offer year-round structure and texture. Stone, brick, and garden art add yet another dimension. “And fighting back blackberry, privet and honeysuckle keeps me humble!”

ANNE GILMER Anne Gilmer’s garden boasts one of the most unique structures in Roane County – a two-room train depot built in the 1890s. It was moved to the property by a previous owner who added a kitchen and bath and raised a family of four in the small space. When Anne and husband Jay bought the 6-acre lakefront property in the White’s Creek area, the depot provided living quarters while they built their new home. Anne inherited her green thumb from her Aunt Frances Lothrop, and grew up learning her secrets while helping in her Knoxville garden. Anne’s garden features many heirloom shrubs, given to her by Frances or propagated from cuttings and divisions. Ferns and hosta are tucked into the many shady spots and a dazzling array of iris, including beautiful white Japanese Roof Iris are sprinkled generously throughout. Anne’s skill in propagating shrubs is brilliantly displayed by a stunning collection of azaleas, hydrangeas and weigelias. Together they form an understory fairyland that perfectly complements her home’s woodland setting.

IRIS SHELTON Iris Shelton and her husband Mike, a native Roane Countian, returned to the county in 2003 from careers in Oak Ridge. Their home is on the main channel of Watts Bar Lake, in full view of Thief Neck Island. Iris is one of the founding members of MGRC, completing the Master Gardener program in 2005, the first year it was offered. Over the ensuing years she has worn all the hats, from President to chair of the annual plant sale and she envisioned and designed the original garden at Roane County Park. Nestled under mature oak trees, her lakeside garden is a year-round delight, with something of interest no matter the time of year. Spring brings daffodils, azaleas, dogwoods, and a stunning display of cherry blossoms from 30-year-old trees that lean out gracefully over the water. When the pale pink petals drop, they form a thick carpet on the grass. Her skill in landscape design and her training as an engineer are on full display in her immaculately maintained borders. Tucked in are over 300 cultivars of daylilies. Blooming in mid-summer, the daylilies turn the garden into a kaleidoscope of color, form and shape. Shrubs and trees, both evergreen and deciduous, provide structural support, fall color and winter berries. And a wide variety of hosta, iris (of course!) and other perennials ensure the serene, welcoming garden is always interesting.

Oliver Springs HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Once an abandoned garage is now home to the Oliver Springs Historical Society.

The Oliver Springs Historical Society has been making remarkable progress on its Museum and Archives project. The latest efforts represent the culmination of many long years spent restoring the venerable old Abston Building. The Abston Building was built in the early 1920’s by Oliver Springs resident Tom Abston. Built primarily as a repair garage, the building has seen duty as a garage, bus station, movie theatre, bowling alley, and since the early ‘50’s had returned full circle as the shop of local mechanic Ralph Daugherty, being known in the modern era as the Daugherty Garage. After the death of Mr. Daugherty, the building had gone into precipitous decline. Purchased in late 2007 by heirs of longtime Oliver Springs businessman Verldon Coker and wife Irene, the building was donated to the Oliver Springs Historical Society and has been a long running project in the years since. This magnificent chandelier graces the hallway.

DISCOVER ROANE COUNTY Spring / Summer 2021

A classic theater has been built in the restored Abston Garage.

Funded by a plethora of fundraising efforts as well as donations from area benefactors, the Museum and Archives building is now open to the public. Featuring an impressive 135 seat theatre, the Historical Society hosts many community events and concerts. The last part of the museum under construction will be an “Old Town Streetscape, featuring facades and storefronts built to replicate buildings that were part of the Main Street townscape back in the heyday of the Oliver Springs business district. Thanks to Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton and his inmate crew under the command and guidance of Deputy Robert Sparks, The Historical Society has made great strides finishing the storefront cubicles, extensive wiring for the lights and displays, and in general moving the project along very nicely. Local craftsman and Historical Society member Robbie Underwood has been assisting the project and working with the crew, making trim, countertops, decorative spindles, rosettes, wainscot and flooring for the work crew. Much work remains to be done, but progress is great and the workers have been sterling.When completed, the Streetscape will feature a street paved with commemorative bricks commissioned by area residents and purchased by the Oliver Springs Historical Society.
