Story by Erin Shaw Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazines Photographs by Tim Dominick
In Gilbert, down a two-lane road and up a dirt driveway,is a place where vestiges of the past meet modern daycreativity and entrepreneurship. A cache where treasurescome in the form of rusty signs and vintage pop bottles,where old furniture with new paint sits extraneouslyamong perennial plants and chicken droppings.
This is Peach Festival Gardens, an ongoing project ve yearsin the making. It is owned by Jason London, a man with anunruly beard and a green thumb, the kind of guy who has dirtunder his ngernails and likes it that way. A Clemson grad with amasters in plant and environmental science, London is rst andforemost a gardener.
Hes also a collector of things butter churns, militaryartifacts, mismatched chairs and table legs and when customersstarted seeing what he collected, there was more than a little

interest in it. When a photographer friend started takingpictures of his nds and putting them online, things really tookoff.
When we put it on Facebook, business exploded, Londonsaid.
His collections have since taken center stage, with rusty bells,antiquated benches and bed frames, old doors and vendingmachines advertising 40-cent cans of soda selling like hotcakes.Most of it sits in the middle of Londons 10 acres under a largeshed, anked by two smaller platformtents used as vignette spaces for showing
off furniture nds.In the back are rows and rows of
potted plants on the ground, on top oftables and interspersed between piles ofreclaimed lumber and roaming free-range chickens.
Here London cultivates hard-to-ndperennials, sturdy and unique plants suchas carnivorous pitcher plants, tall shootsof bamboo and pineapple lilies withsparkling burgundy leaves.
London is almost like the Santa Claus
of home and garden. But instead of a sleigh, he has a pickuptruck and a trailer. He travels far and wide to pick up nds andbring them back to the workshop. And rather than look underthe Christmas tree, customers gleefully wait for pictures to beposted online, feverishly clicking through Facebook albums tosee what presents could be theirs.
If this Santa had elves, they would come in the form of KatieRoberts, Casey Fuller, Dillon Faust and Nicole Uveges acreative team of artistic individuals who serendipitously foundtheir way to Peach Festival Gardens.
Out in the middle of rural Lexington County, where the vastmajority of stuff youve got around hereare collard green farmers, we found a
painter, a woodworker, a guy who makeslamps and a photographer, London said.A lot of it was by chance.
But that seems to be the Peach Festivalway, where things happen organically andwithout force.
First there was Uveges, Londonsphotographer friend, who nowphotographs everything that comes in.Then there was Roberts, an interior

design specialist with a knack for painting furniture. Justrecently, Roberts painted an old roll-top desk, and within fourminutes of Uveges posting a picture online, it was claimed.
People have denite ideas about whether or not you shouldpaint antiques, Roberts said. You can, and it totally changesit and updates it and makes it something thats not looked overanymore.
While the furniture pieces dont quite t in with Londonsgarden scenery, they sell so fast that the outdoor elements havelittle chance to damage them.
Not long after Roberts came on, Fuller, owner of a restoration
and antiques shop, saw Peach Festival Gardens online and gotin touch. After doing a few restoration projects for London,Fuller was asked to join the team. He mainly builds pieces out ofreclaimed lumber, but also works with copper and xes antiques,sometimes stopping Katie from painting them.
Especially if its something from the 1700s or early 1800s, Itell her Dont touch it! Fuller said.
Theres also Faust, initially a customer, who often usesLondons oddball pieces to make lamps and art that he displaysin downtown Columbia. So, naturally, London asked him tojoin. Like the rest of the team, he has had an impact on thecreative forces of Peach Festival Gardens and has helped make it
into what it is today.And then theres Burt, a peacock and the unofcial mascot
of Peach Festival Gardens. A beautiful yet cheeky bird, hestruts around with his long, iridescent tail glinting in the sun,occasionally emitting a loud, piercing scream that is as startlingto guests as it is normal to London and his team.
A conversation isnt complete without Burts interjectoryscreech, letting everyone know he is the one in charge of thekingdom.
And what a kingdom it is. Peach Festival Gardens is anindelible, unpretentious place where the air is lled withdelicious anticipation of things undiscovered, where wholeafternoons can be easily whiled away looking for treasures.
I dont consider us an antique store anymore, London said.I consider us a place that takes cool pieces that may be antiques.Its not a common store. Its an interactive, creative place.
The Gilbert location will always be the center of operations,London said, but he is looking into expanding to other venuesthat get more trafc.
As to how we do that or when is kind of up in the air, hesaid, but I think were well on our way.

If your kids need a reason to get out and explore nature,Sesquicentennial State Park has just the thing to whet theirappetite a scavenger hunt.
But instead of gathering a list of things, theyll need to gathera list of facts from interpretive signs along the parks JacksonCreek Nature Trail. Its a fun way to teach some basic scienceand get a little exercise.
Pick up a copy of the scavenger hunt questions at the visitorscenter or download them from the parks website at www.southcarolinaparks.com/sesqui/sesqui-things.aspx
Kids will learn how to identify poison ivy, when dogwoodsbloom, what to call the leaves on a loblolly pine, why the femalecardinal is less brightly colored than the male and what a boxturtle eats.
The trail is less than half a mile long, so its an easy walk.Sesqui also has longer trails for hiking and biking, picnic areas,playground equipment and a large lake for shing or paddling aboat.

The Clines selected a parcel facingwest with breathtaking views.
We have watched many sunsets overthe past 35 years, she says.
Back then, and much like today, if youwanted to watch Lake Murrays annualFourth of July reworks display, you
piled into cars or jumped into boats andheaded toward the Dreher Shoals dam,says Sandi.
But when the reworks later shiftedto Dreher Island, directly across thewater from the Clines two-story home,the couple suddenly found themselves
with one of the best viewing spots on thelake. The ride to the dam was no longernecessary.
Soon the Clines began holding parties,inviting family and a few close friends andneighbors. But the gatherings began togrow. The view was just too spectacularto keep to themselves, Sandi says.
Husband, Whit, agrees.
You feel like theyre coming downright on top of you, he says. Its likebeing on the 50-yard line of Williams-Brice Stadium.
And the party that leads up to thedisplay is not too shabby either. As smarthosts know, the secret to pulling off evena casual but seemingly awless get-together is preparation. The Clines beginpreparing for the big event days, if not
When Whit and Sandi Cline built their Lake Murray
home more than 36 years ago, they had no idea
it would eventually become ground zero for what
is arguably one of the nest viewing spots for
reworks along the lake.
My parents purchased the 17 acres that surround us in
the 50s, says Sandi Cline of the Chapin property. In 1975,they asked if we would like to build our new home on the lake
property. What a gift that was.

Cool dealThe Fourth of July can be an
extremely warm time of the
year, especially for outdoor get-
togethers. Fortunately, the Clines
hit upon a rather ingenious ideaseveral years ago after Sandi
found a big bag of hand towels
at Sams Club for $15.
With the help of
grandchildren, Elizabeth and
Andrew, the Clines soaked, then
rolled and stored the towels in a
freezer. On the day of the party,
the towels were then transferred
to small coolers, so they
could be taken outdoors and
distributed among guests. The
elegant offering was a big hit.
Taking a page from the airline
industry, the Clines now serve a
refreshing, albeit ice-cold, face
towel to guests every Fourth of
July.
Oh, the memories.Sandi Cline, right, and her friend Polly Hart look at some old photos at SandisFourth of July party.

Red, white and blue decorations get everyone in a festive mood. A decorated top hat on the porch, icing and sprinkles on cookies and miniature ags in a
ower pot all add to the party atmosphere.

help of daughter-in-law Anna Cline, ofAnna Cline Catering, while Whit focuseson the yard.
On the day of the party, guests aretreated to lavish buffets set up in avariety of places throughout the house toencourage good trafc ow while outsidetwinkling lights adorn trees and Americanags along porches set the stage for what
is to come.Traditional favorites have included a
dry-rub, slow-cooked barbecue broughtby family friend, Ron Wilson, and adessert made up of Oreos, whippedcream, blueberries and strawberries,from a recipe created by Sandis dearlydeparted friend, Frances Robinson.
The Clines continue to make the dish made by layering the fruit with thewhipped cream for a festive red, whiteand blue effect every year in Robinsons
honor. In fact, Cline says she makes twoversions of the popular dessert: one withjust a little Kahlua for adults and onesans Kahlua for younger guests.
And just as recipes might be changedor tweaked, some things in the partyplanning have been added or improvedupon as the years go by, Sandi says.
We learn as we go , she says.The wait might be a tad long and a
little warm, but when that rst reworksizzles and cracks open the night sky, itcan all be suddenly worth it, Sandi says.
The most special part about it is thebeauty of it, she says. You look outat the lake and see all those boats andall those lights. Its such a wonderfulexperience, and thats why we startedinviting others, because we wanted toshare the experience.

Just a little off the top.Sean Taylor, of Taylor Christmas Tree Farm in Gilbert, starts pruning trees inthe warm months of the year between June and August to prepare for sale during the holidays.
South Carolina is known for many crops peaches,watermelons and pecans, to name a few.
But Christmas trees?This time of the year, when many South
Carolina farmers are busy harvesting andselling produce, the owners of Taylors
Christmas Tree Farm outside Gilbert areactive as well. Keeping thousands of treesthriving in various stages of developmenton more than 25 acres on two propertiesis a task.
Back in 1985, Danny and Angelia Taylordecided to put some family and purchasedland to good use growing Christmas treesas a sideline business. He works for atelephone company, and she is a retiredschool teacher. Danny had grown up on apeach farm, but Christmas trees were anunfamiliar crop.
I knew you had to work on the peach
trees year round, and I learned that youhave to attend to Christmas trees thatway, too, he says. You have to prune,
mow around them, and make sure they getplenty of water. You have to baby them.
The couple began planting a wide
variety of trees, including white pine,Eastern red cedar, Leland cypress, Virginiapine and Carolina sapphire. Its sosoothing for me to see a tree grow from aseedling to a large tree, says Danny, whostill helps with the farm but has turnedover much of the work to his sons, Seanand Matthew. Angelia has given the task ofwreath making to Seans wife, Genevieve.
Every year, in January and February,more trees are planted. Its good to getthe roots established before the warmweather hits, says Sean.
A few years after the trees are planted,
pruning begins with a special machine.There are arts and tricks to it, saysSean. Pruning trees on a hillside is the

trickiest.A tree will mature in ve to six years.
Trees that are not sold become too talland must be cut down.
Sean and Matthew also have otherfull-time jobs: Sean works for the S.C.Department of Natural Resources, whileMatthew is a manager of two cemeteries.The Christmas tree farm is extra incomefor us, says Sean. Plus, its what we grew
up doing.Sean, who has a 6-year-old and a
2-year-old, says that his children arenow able to hang out and learn thefamily farming business as he did as aboy. Matthew has a 12-year-old whoassists especially during the busiest timebetween Thanksgiving and Christmaswhen their 1406 Priceville Road farmlocation is brimming with customers forChristmas trees and wreaths. During thisbusy time, the Taylor family pitches in to
help where needed.Approximately 300 to 400 trees sell
each year. Prices are around $8 perfoot for Taylor-grown trees. Frazier rsbrought in from the mountains sell for$10 a foot. Most trees are in the range of6 to 7 feet, but there are trees as tall as 14feet.
Genevieve creates about 300 wreathsannually in her work shed. She enjoyspulling together different pieces of thedifferent trees grown on Taylor Farm;
each tree offering a distinct shade ofcolor, smell and texture to the one-of-a-kind wreaths.
Carolina sapphire trees lend a blue-green tint as well as a pungent smell.Red cedar, the original South CarolinaChristmas tree, provides a nice, fullbackground. The white pine has asoft texture and long needles, while theVirginia pine has short needles and adarker green hue. Sometimes she willtake a piece from a Frazier r, brought in
from the mountains, and mix its sturdybranches into wreaths shes making.
Although she now makes the bulk ofthe wreaths for the farm, her mother-in-law stops by to make one now and again.Friends, as well, will visit her in her shedto make a wreath. Often, during the busyseason, she is in her work space until thewee hours of the night.
There is satisfaction, though, inmaking something thats pretty and thatmakes people happy, she says.
Danny says it is heartening to see kidswho were originally brought with theirparents to the farm now coming backwith their own children. Its a familyactivity to select a tree from the eld andcut it down, or have us cut it down.
Its so nice to see the land being put togood use, adds Danny.

Topiaries are popular decorations for the Christmas holidays,
but the time to start planning and planting them is now, in
July.
Flea markets, antique shops, home decor stores and yard
sales are great places to ferret out both unusual containers and
metal inserts like votive candleholders or fruit stands to train living
plant material in and on. Trailing ivy makes an easily trained topiary
for use as a holiday centerpiece.
Holiday topiariesSupplies and materials needed:
n 10-inch plastic container planted with ivy
n Metal insert such as a candleholder
n Green jute twine or green twist ties
n Container into which the plastic pot will be placed at time of use
n Glass or metal tray to protect table top
n Decorative fabric, bow topper and ornaments or other
Christmas decorations
n Select a 10-inch plastic hanging basket of ivy, such as SilverDollar (Hedera helix), at a local nursery. Remove the hanger and
insert a metal stand that has been sprayed green to blend with
the ivy. Take three or four long tendrils and train them up the form.
Weave the tendrils in and out, securing them periodically with
green twine or green colored bread ties.
n Place the container outside in a shady spot. Turn it occasionally
for even growth. Water when soil is slightly dry, and mist the
leaves. A light feeding of liquid plant food once a month will
increase the growth. When the plant is established, maintain the
correct form by cutting off any wayward tendrils and pinching
ends to encourage thicker growth.
n Once autumn arrives, gradually introduce the plant to indoor
temperatures by rst putting it on a porch, then into the house.n In December, add the nishing touches. Place the ivy planter
in a decorative bowl large enough to conceal the plastic growing
container, or set it in a large glass bowl or metal container lined
with sphagnum moss. Add a decorative bow to the top, and insert
Christmas balls or other festive decorations onto the metal form.
n Place the nished topiary on a tray, and add decorative fabric
around the base. Your design is limited only by your imagination,
so start now to create that special holiday centerpiece.
