May2012 mag.indd 16 4/11/12 11:25 AM ildred Amick, a young widow with three children to support, pioneered a florist business in Lexington Min the mid-1940s. She died at 92 in 2005 but passed on her legacy of love for family, home, gardens and spiritedness. The family home, which Mildred and her husband, Voight, built in 1935 along U.S. 378 in Lexington, has been moved and renovated by her granddaughter Melanie Webb along with her husband, Greg, combining a mix of old and new and a grand tribute to the Amicks’ lives. The Amicks built the home using lumber from C.O. Amick Lumber Mill, where Voight worked. When Voight died in an automobile accident in 1944, Mildred was 32. She was left with three children: Deonne, 12, Jane, 6, and 4-year- old Dale – Melanie’s mother. Mildred, who knew she had to support herself and the children and had Mildred Amick always loved flowers, opened Amick’s Florist inside the house and added a flower shop adjoining it. She got her first business license in 1946. It was the first florist shop in Lexington that sold flowers outright. She bought flowers wholesale from Branham’s Wholesale Distributorship in Columbia. The business was a family affair. Melanie remembers piling with her cousins into the old porch swing, which is now on her front porch. Her mother, aunt and the girl cousins would help do floral arrangements for funerals and weddings and help clean up afterward. The cousins loved playing in the yard. “People probably didn’t realize the feat she’d accomplished,” Melanie said of her Come on in. Melanie and Greg Webb used her grandparents’ 75-year-old home as the center section of their home off of US 378 in Lexington. Melanie and Pearl stand in the family room.

Today, the 3,000-square-foot home features original pine floors and wood that Melanie and Greg salvaged from her grandmother’s flower shop and blended with wood to create new areas of flooring, all refinished by Carolina Select Flooring, The house also features an original light fixture from the old home, benches Mildred Amick used in her flower shop and Mildred’s Past is present. porch rocker and swing.

The island in the kitchen was designed by Kevin Taylor. Mildred’s kitchen cabinets, flower shop table, and old wood box are used by Greg in his workshop. Melanie also used some of the signs and decor from the flower shop. One of the old mantels and several doors from the old home, including a set of French doors and some small closet doors are also utilized. A window, found and salvaged from an outbuilding on the Kaminer property, serves as a picture frame featuring before, during and after pictures of the house. When Melanie was cleaning the windows, she discovered the signature of Erby Kaminer, her great-grandfather who made the window. A cradle that was used in the Kaminer house is also there. Many family members have slept in the cradle from Mildred’s brother: her children, grandchildren, great- grandchildren, as well as her sister Lucille Rawl and her sons. Another touch is an old crank telephone on a wall in the game room refinished by Melanie’s cousin Scott Amick.

With more residents diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia in recent years, Lexington Medical Center understood the importance of creating a special center that caters to the unique needs of those residents. Designed for the care, comfort and safety of those who live there, Carroll Campbell Place has the look and feel of home. Even the nurses’ stations fit into the home-like environment.

Although Carroll Campbell Place may not be home, it’s the closest place to it.

May2012 mag.indd 25 4/11/12 11:26 AM Peaceful contemplation. Retired landscaper Henry Chason has a very structured Japanese garden in the backyard of his 19th century home. Previous page, moss covers the base of an old tree.

Story by DEENA C. BOUKNIGHT, Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazines • Photographs by KIM KIM FOSTER-TOBIN

fter an almost quarter mile trek through the rustic woods in Ballentine, the view opens to reveal a hidden treasure. It is the Japanese garden crafted by Henry Chason, a retired Alandscaper. Fifteen years ago, he began drawing up plans, inspired by the Portland Japanese Garden in Oregon, considered the most authentic Japanese garden in the United States, and by books and magazines on the subject. On his 35 acres, he found the ideal slope. At the bottom runs a slight creek that connects to a small pond. Japanese gardens are intended for peaceful contemplation. The primary focus is nature, so it was important for Chason to work with the natural lines of the landscape. Since Hurricane Hugo had naturally cleared away some unwanted trees on the site chosen for the Japanese garden, Chason only had to clean debris from the area. Chason and his crew created the basics of the garden in six days: 1) clearing unwanted plants and debris; 2) picking out stones and plants and having them delivered; 3) placing stepping stones and other ornamental rocks; 4) planting; 5) installing an irrigation system; 6) planting grass. “On the seventh day we rested,” quips Chason. Regularly, the garden must be pruned, cleaned, mowed and blown. Yet

Chason says he enjoys the quiet solitude and beauty of his garden at least three times a week. His six grandchildren also love it. The main elements of Japanese gardens are rocks, water, plants and ornaments. The main principles are asymmetry, enclosure and balance. Chason’s garden begins at the base of a hill at a massive hollow stump that serves as a natural sculpture. The path winds up beside various shapes of flint boulders, over bridges made from railroad ties, and along smaller stumps and a discarded pine. On the path are small and large round stepping stones made of pebbles set into concrete. Descending down the other slope of the hill, the path winds through a Japanese gate Chason made out of bamboo and cording. Large granite slab bridges (from the sidewalk of the old Taylor Street Pharmacy in downtown Columbia) cross the creek. There is also a section of the path made from artistically placed squares of granite from a quarry in Winnsboro. Dotting the path are various sizes of stone Japanese lanterns. A granite bench is made from threshold stone pulled up when the Newberry Opera House was renovated. An important aspect of Japanese gardening is ground cover, and Chason’s goal “was to expand the ground cover from the creek shore and all around.” He planted emerald green moss that he retrieved from another creek area

Tried and true tips In a Japanese garden, the stones and trees are important elements. Trees need to stay pruned, and other elements around them need to be kept low to showcase the trees. If plants overtake stones, they need to be cut back. “Buy some plants, place them in different places – still in their containers – and look at them for a few days before planting them,” says Henry Chason, a retired landscaper.

Because... Chason and his wife have been working on the garden for 15 years. When asked why a Japanese garden, Henry responds, “because I could.” Previous page, an old tree stump becomes an architectural feature in the landscape.

and laid it along his creek shore. Before laying it, he tilled the area slightly and added sulphur to lower the PH level and nitrogen to make it grow. He learned that by keeping the leaves clear from the site where he wanted the moss to spread, it would – indeed – spread. The result is a vibrant carpet that welcomes visitors to the garden. Protruding naturally through random areas of the natural carpet in early spring are tiny Bluet flowers. Covering the sides of the path and in between stepping stones are areas of turf-type fescue grass and dwarf monkey grass (mondo). Other plants along the path include dwarf variegated gardenias, iron plants, dwarf Asiatic jasmine, and succulent varieties of groundcover. Chason followed the rules of Japanese gardening strictly, considering that “less is more” and striving to make a few of the trees centerpieces. He left dogwoods, gum, deciduous holly and winged elm. A natural holly that bends over the creek exemplifies the ideal Japanese garden trees: the trunk zigzags, branches weep, and the top is smaller than the bottom. Chason planted Hollywood junipers, Japanese pines, a tulip magnolia, cut-leaf Japanese garnet maple, Japanese magnolia and Empress camellia. The only tree he used that’s not typically in a Japanese garden, ironically, is the Japanese weeping cherry. “I just wanted one,” says Chason. The weeping cherry does not respond well to pruning and, in a Japanese garden, it is all about pruning to “improve upon the natural shape. Plus, the bark of the tree is the essence of the tree for the Japanese, so you don’t want the branches or foliage obscuring the bark too much.” A common Japanese garden shape is hemispherical, or tomamono; Chason Peaceful contemplation. Many of the stone elements of the garden are repurposed, including accomplishes this on his dwarf yaupons, squares of granite taken from a quarry in Winnsboro. which are bushes. Even though true bonsai must be in a container, Chason says you can apply some of the bonsai pruning rules to trees in a garden – especially to needle pine trees. He says he followed Japanese standards as strictly as possibly. The result: a “peaceful place I enjoy.” Deena Bouknight is a Midlands-based freelance writer.

May2012 mag.indd 33 4/11/12 11:27 AM GARDENING ADVICE NEW PLANTS FOR YOUR GARDEN Jenks Farmer, former horticulturalist at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden who now is selling some of his cultivations at the new Hay Hill Garden Market on Bluff Road in Columbia, suggests adding these plants to your garden:

1. Almond Bush: It’s a weird intermediate thing between a shrub and a perennial but there’s nothing, nothing else that smells as sweet as this bush! Graceful flowers on an easy-to-make- fit-in bush for six or more months a year. Spectacular under planted with antique 1 mums like “Miss Gloria’s” or “Jane Bath” aster. Think fall – waving grasses, beauty berry and almond bush.

2. Asian Upright Crinum Lily: Sword- like leaves make a contemporary statement in light shade or sun. Spidery flowers are pure white and slightly fragrant. A bold plant that adds tropical flair. Dramatic contrast with fine textured asparagus ferns or in a pot with a weeping vine. Looks great thrusting up from a mass of shield fern or blue plumbago.

3. Purple Perennial Mum Chrysanthemum “Miss Gloria’s Thanksgiving Day”: Billowing masses of flowers in late fall – in a warm year, even into December. Romantic, old- 2 fashioned and easy to share. Try this with pampas grass, nandina or sprirea – it will grow up into these each season. This local selection was named by a Riverbanks horticulturist for my Momma, Gloria, and the fact that it flowers on Thanksgiving.
