OVER THE EDGE: LONGWOOD, A GARDEN FOR ALL SEASONS

“Put some play in your day!”

I can’t remember where I first heard that expression. I’m sure it was in some marketing materials for an amusement park or something like that.

It’s a fun thing to say and the rhyming bit makes it stick in your head.

I’ve been thinking a lot about that phrase lately in the context of Frederick. Because in this area it is so easy to put some play in your day in a million different ways.

Especially in the fall and holiday season.

We’ve entered some of the best few months Frederick has to offer.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Frederick no matter the time of year. But there’s something about fall that makes this place extra special. Cooler temperatures and cozy vibes abound. And there’s never a shortage of things to do. The fall and holiday season can be busy, crazy and sometimes a bit overwhelming.

But what if we all took some time to put some play in our days?

One of our favorite family activities this time of year is apple or pumpkin picking.

We’re lucky to live in Frederick, a rich agricultural area, where farms full of beautiful produce are only a short drive away in any direction. Taking a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and choosing your favorite gourd then grabbing a gallon of apple cider on your way out is a great way to have some weekend fun.

But Frederick is home to so many more creative ways to put some play in your day.

For instance, did you know that a bank of genuine old-school skeeball machines now exist in our city, ready for you to play any day?

Spinners Pinball Arcade on East Street in Frederick has long been known as an excellent place to spend a few hours losing yourself in a wide variety of video or pinball games. But Spinners took the level of fun up a notch this year, getting their hands on a bunch of skeeball machines and offering a competitive skeeball league on weeknights.

My husband, Dave, and I are always “game” for a round of skeeball and we took the leap a few months ago and joined the league. And now you’ll find us (team name: the Spence-Skees) most Monday nights at Spinners, enjoying a beer, and doing our best to break 300 alongside a bunch of really fun people who’ve also learned how to put some play in their day.

Life can be so serious and so busy – how will you find the play in your day this season?

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:

Freddy Freddy Katana was born in Kenya, grew up in New York, lives in Montgomery County and recently opened an art gallery in Downtown Frederick.

A behavioral research scientist by trade, Katana, 26, believes that his formal background in experimental psychology informs his artistic work.

“My study of psychology is instrumental to my practice as an artist,” Katana says.

His own work is not currently on view. Instead, he has focused the last several months on creating a platform for others at Shungu Gallery at 125 S. Carroll St. We asked Katana to tell us more about him and his work. Here’s what we found…

Q

When and how did you get started as an artist? What type of art did you start creating

then and how does it compare to your work now?

A

My start as an artist was very young. I was always good at drawing, even winning

competitions, but I never pursued it until college.

My art really came out of a position of boredom and self-indulgence. I wanted to go see art one day, but I couldn’t, so I just spent the day making some.

Q A

How would you describe your art to someone who knows nothing about it?

My practice is largely focused on being simple in execution, but meaningful in its message. I

resonate with other conceptual artists like Marcel DuChamp, Yves Klein, On Kawara and more. The message and meaning behind the work is more important than the aesthetic value. I believe this is also counter-cultural to our age where social media pushes the idea that aesthetic value is the main value.

14

Katana owner of Shungu Gallery

Q A

Describe a piece that you have created that makes you most proud or most inspired.

There's a work I made titled “Lamb's Blood.”

It's a depiction of a white streak on a red

background. The meaning of the conceptual work is to communicate Christ's sacrifice. His blood has been described figuratively as having a cleansing quality to it, which is why the streak is white not red. The work only took mere minutes to create, but the contemplation of what I wanted to communicate and how I would communicate it took months.

Q A

What is it like to be an artist in Frederick?

Being an artist in Frederick is refreshing.

My work was well received in my second

exhibition in this area; however, I believe Frederick could use more art galleries that are pushing boundaries of what they showcase. More studio space for artists would also help invite more artists or provide opportunities to existing artists that are constantly working on their craft.

Celebrating

A Milestone

More than 25 years ago,

a bunch of kids had a couple of bucks and a dream, and that dream turned into what all of Frederick now knows as the Maryland Ensemble Theatre.

We say “more than” 25 years ago because, technically, though they’re celebrating their 25th season this year the group started a few years before that, with the celebrated Comedy Pigs sketch comedy/improv group performing shows around town.

istockphoto.com/Alexander_h_schultz

But the MET’s first official produced main-stage theatre production happened in 1997, and Frederick has been treated to an amazing array of original plays, well-loved classics, children’s shows (via The Fun Company) and more ever since then.

Founder Hakika Wise says that many people go dayto-day being as busy as possible.

“What is happening is our bodies are morphing into this tight restricted stress ball of tension,” she said. “(The stretching we do) helps release and take away all of the tension that has been trapped inside of the body so it helps your body reset to being just you without all of the tension.”

The company began in 2008 and now has nearly a dozen franchises across the country.

Wise considers it her mission to educate the general public about the benefits of using a dancer’s approach to stretching. The Kika method was formed from her own routine to maintain flexibility that she learned when studying dance in college.

The Kika method differs from yoga and Pilates.

During those exercises, the body is actively holding positions, but not releasing tension. With Kika stretching, clients do not hold body parts or muscles.

They are limp as a coach moves their body around.

As a hiker and runner, Patricia Beall noticed she often had tight quadricep muscles. Beall participated in an endurance event in Vermont a few years ago and noticed a number of people helping participants with stretching exercises. She wanted in.

Photos courtesy of Kika Stetch Studios

“When I came back from the event, I tried to find a place I could go to get stretched but I could not find anyone,” she said, so she started doing research.

She discovered Kika Stretch Studios and flew to Atlanta, Georgia in 2020 to learn more about the business. Two years later, she opened her own franchise in Frederick.

Kika Stretch focuses on gentle assisted stretching to help the body relax and release tension.

Clients meet with a coach, one-on-one, for 45- or 60-minute sessions.

Stretching helps create better posture and reduce stress and also increases energy levels, enhances flexibility and eliminates pain and muscle tension.

A free 30-minute introductory session is available for first time clients. Single or multi-sessions or monthly memberships are available.

Beall says she’s already seeing a difference in clients she has begun working with over the last few months in Frederick.

After only a few sessions one older adult can now turn his head without having to shift his whole body and another client now has better balance while working out.

“The benefits are so varied for individual people,” Beall said. “Everyone walks away with some benefit.”

by Chris Slattery

In the age of Instagram the holiday baking season seems to start even before the air-conditioning switches off. Whether you’re hoping for perfect posts to elevate your social media presence or just want to spend time with family and friends making memories in real time, baking (or buying!) festive foodstuffs can be fun and fulfilling. We tracked down a few Frederick pastry chefs who shared their own baking stories — and offered some secrets and strategies for holiday home bakers.

grew up taking care of bees — our father would make mead — and it was a feeling of community.

“But there’s a community inside the beehive, too, and they take care of each other. That’s what we always hoped the Hive in Brunswick would be: this comfy place where people could eat wonderful baked goods and have wonderful memories and make new connections.”

Mission accomplished. When the road to Ontiveros’s childhood dream of becoming a physician took a detour, she earned an English degree from the University of Maryland and forged a career in education. But now the self-taught pastry chef has settled into the baking business, bringing pastries to the people, competing on televised cake competitions, such as “Sugar Rush” on Netflix, and holding classes in baking and decorating for every level, from novice to pro, at the shop — with more online blog and video content to come in 2023.

• Many traditional holiday recipes, especially those from Eastern Europe, call for vanilla sugar. Rebekah reports that while recipe-enhancing vanilla sugar may be hard to find stateside, it’s easy to make — just fill an airtight container with granulated sugar and for every one or two cups add a whole, uncut vanilla bean. Seal it up and let it sit for up to two months to make any recipe special.

• Baking cookies? First, get a good recipe (Rebekah recommends the one on Nestle’s website) and then make sure to do what professional bakers

SUPER NATURAL Nikkie Byrd has been baking in Frederick since she was 14 years old.

“My very first job was at Valley Donuts in the Green Valley Shopping Center off Fingerboard Road,” Byrd says. “I worked every Saturday and Sunday morning, super early.”

Back then bakery owners Shirley and John Vitchock tended their business with “so much passion and love,” firing up Byrd’s entrepreneurial spirit and encouraging her to follow her own dreams of bakery ownership.

Those dreams, burnished with a stint studying holistic health and wellness at herb school and jumpstarted with a cake-decorating class at Michael’s, led Byrd to open Sage Cakery, the café and specialty bakery she runs in Frederick with her lifeand business partner, Kurtis, and a roster of talented pastry chefs, many with culinary school training.

“I decided, eventually, to let it all go, take the leap, and open a brick-and-mortar store,” she muses.

“And here we are.”

Nikkie’s Tips

Sage does custom orders but also offers a daily selection of cupcakes, cookies, dessert bars and macarons, plus seasonal specials such as a snickerdoodle-apple pie cookie sandwich that’s perfect for autumn.

As the holidays roll around there’s a Harvest Season Pre-order Menu, lots of Christmas treats and gift boxes, and the perennial bestseller: mini pies in a variety of flavors.

Photography by Amanda Summers

True to its name and the background of its owner/ creative director, Sage Cakery offers herb-infused flavors that can’t be found in a box: cardamompear, blackberry-sage, peach-coriander, rosemaryfig, orange-ginger, and lavender-honey. “My palate likes flavor,” Byrd shrugs.

But flavor, she insists, goes hand in hand with presentation, and Sage specializes in both.

“If you are making everything from scratch, and with local ingredients, it really comes through in the quality of the products,” she explains. “And as far as the visual is concerned, it’s fun to be able to custom design for a special event.

And that’s the bottom line for Byrd, who grew up baking with her mom, sister, grandmother, aunts and cousins, and learned the tricks of the trade from world-renowned cake designer and sugarflower artist Maggie Austin of Alexandria, Virginia.

“You can learn techniques from other people,” Byrd says, “but once you learn to use the material — sugar, fondant, gum paste, buttercream, wafer paper — once you know your medium, it’s limitless.”

THE SWEETHEARTS Andrew Griffin and Ariana Garcia have a plan.

“We go to events, we go to farmer’s markets, we do catering, we take orders for cakes,” says Griffin, co-owner with Garcia of Corazoncitos Bakery.

“We do our own pop-up shops out of the kitchen, with the hope of doing our own shop someday.”

Corazoncitos — the name translates to “little hearts” or “sweethearts” — was born when Griffin, a bartender, and Garcia, a chef, elevated their relationship status from boyfriend-and-girlfriendco-workers to partners-in-a-baking-business during summer 2020.

“We started talking about it and developing our menu during COVID,” recalls Griffin. “We’d sell cottage goods to family and friends, and everyone was like: ‘You guys gotta get a kitchen!’”

Which they did, along with a business license, forming an LLC and applying to farmers markets while they created labels and packaging and tested recipes in their shared commercial kitchen at MD Bakes in Frederick. In July 2022 they held their Grand Opening Pop Up, doing “a ton of business,” according to Griffin, who studied business at the University of Maryland, College Park and never expected to be a baker.

“I never had anything against baking,” he says. “I just never thought of it as what I would be doing — but here I am, and I love it!”

Garcia loves it, too.

Ari and Andrew’s Tips • Recipes are great, but creativity counts, too. Griffin and Garcia recommend finding a good base recipe for holiday cookies and seeing where you can take it by adding signature flavors, colors, and textures.

“I’ve loved baking ever since I was young,” she explains. “My mom was the one that taught me to make cupcakes and chocolate-covered strawberries, and my love for baking grew from there. In 2021 I joined culinary school.”

According to Griffin, Garcia has a special talent for recreating classic cakes and desserts, such as tiramisu and tres leches cake, into perfect, personalsized pastries that, he says, “look amazing.

“The bestseller right now is the Ghirardelli chocolate chip Bundt cakes that she makes,” he says. “And we’re doing a new one for fall, a pumpkin spice version with cream cheese frosting.”

They’ll be joined by specially decorated, scarygood cupcakes for Halloween, which Corazoncitos will sell by the dozen and half-dozen to customers who order online, stop in at their farmers market booth, or come to their planned holiday pop up.

ovens, Griffin and Garcia typically bake at a temperature 25 degrees below what the recipe calls for (i.e., 325 degrees instead of 350)

“We have a form on our website that people can fill out to contact us about large orders and catering requests,” Griffin explains. For now, it’s all about scheduling kitchen time and getting those orders out, making it work until they can open a brick-andmortar bakery of their own. But Griffin has faith in the plan. “We’ve always been the kind of people to do exactly what we talk about doing,” he says. And then he gets back to baking.

ne of America’s finest gardens is located

in the Brandywine River Valley of Pennsylvania. Created by Pierre du Pont, Longwood Gardens is a magnificent place, regardless of the time of year you choose to visit.

More than 11,000 plants are displayed among its 1,000 acres of diverse landscapes including meadows, woodlands, lakes and a farm.

verywhere you go, there is something amazing to see.

The Italian Water Garden is presented as a

formal lawn with décor that recalls a Tuscan villa. Take a short walk to the Canopy Cathedral, an ornate timber frame structure inspired by Norwegian churches.

Climb the stairs to the open deck to get a magnificent lakefront view of the Italian Water Gardens.

On the other side of the property, the Topiary Garden has trees and shrubs elaborately manicured into and fun shapes. The nearby Chimes Tower, a carillon crafted in The Netherlands with 62 cast bells, sends lovely music your way as you enjoy the views.

Not all the fun is outdoors at Longwood Gardens.

Many of its indoor spaces are worth your time as well.

The historic du Pont house is the oldest structure on the property, dating to 1730 when it served as a homestead for Joshua Peirce. The Conservatory, one of the largest greenhouses in the world, was built in 1921. Its neo-classical architecture stands out yet also seems to blend into the landscape. Inside, you will find the Orangery, Orchid Room, and other spaces dedicated to tropical flora and fauna. Be sure to check out the Organ Museum and the historic organ with more than 10,000 pipes.

During your visit you’ll have plenty of food options, too. At 1906, named for the year du Pont purchased the property, visitors can enjoy a fullservice dining experience. The menu includes locally sourced seasonal fare and sustainable ingredients whenever possible.

For a less formal or quick bite, grab a sandwich, salad or hot entrée at The Café.

At either space be sure to order the famous Longwood Gardens Mushroom Soup.

hroughout the year, Longwood hosts a number of special events, such as concerts and art installations. Don’t

miss “Light: Installations by Bruce Munro,” on view until Oct. 30.

It includes a breathtaking Field of Light with 18,000 illuminated bulbs stretching across the lakes, pulses and streams of light and sound in the Orchard, an immersive sensory environment in the Exhibition Hall and an illuminated fountain experience.

Through Nov. 13, visitors can celebrate fall’s quintessential flower with the Chrysanthemum Festival. But one of the Gardens’ most popular events begins the following week. Starting Nov. 18 and running through Jan. 8 is A Longwood Christmas.

Stroll amid a splendor of lights and marvel at the botanical splendor of poinsettia displays and festive trees decorated for the holiday season.

During this same timeframe, guests can also enjoy a whimsical Garden Railway exhibit that has been a tradition for more than two decades. A collection of dozens of locomotives, steam engines, diesel engines and specialty engines are featured as the world of miniature comes to life along nearly 500 feet of tracks.

Regardless of what time of year you visit Longwood Gardens, you will find something in bloom and something fantastic to see.
