HOME & GARDEN ISSUE
Though I don’t play favorites, the Home & Garden issue is a joy to put together. I love talking with residents to gather stories and area business owners about what they have for their customers to make their homes inviting and comfortable.
Over the last year, our homes have become more than a place of rest. They are our schools, offices and entertainment areas. Now more than ever, we recognize the value of being home, surrounded by the ones we love, just enjoying our space and hopeful for good times ahead. Jan Southern
The Home & Garden issue also reminds us of Spring. In this issue we share upcoming events and photos from past ones. We suggest some fun activities and grilling out with friends, as well as stories of renovations and revitalization.

Warm weather, more outdoor activities, Easter, graduations, Mother’s Day and more are just around the corner. We can look forward to more events popping up all over Effingham County—a welcome change after the year we all had.
I hope you enjoy the 2021 Home & Garden issue. May your Spring days be long, and your home be as sweet as your tea.
