Home &Garden 2020
Dear Readers, Growing up, my dad was the plant whisperer. He spent many hours up to his elbows in soil potting plants and growing prize winning roses. He won many awards for those pastel pink and luscious yellow petals and we always had fresh, fragrant roses in vases set throughout our home. As he got older, he visited Tokyo for work one year and learned the art of Bonsai. When he came back to the United States from Japan, he turned from roses to Bonsai plants and for the last 20 years of his life, he grew and babied those plants and was a member of the Triangle Bonsai Society. Every time I see a Bonsai plant with their tiny twisted trunks and miniature leaves or I inhale the intoxicating scents of roses, I think of my dad. I’m excited to share this special home and garden issue with you.You will meet another floral whisperer, Jef Glenn who has been a florist in Greenville for more than 45 years and whose family owns Jefferson’s Florist. Fall in love with flowers again, sink your hands into the soil and plant with wild abandon. Enjoy the beauty of spring in all its glory. Happy spring everyone.

Jef Glenn a life in bloom By Christina Ruotolo
lowers have the ability to alter any mood. They are a sensory roller coaster of beauty with their colors, scents, textures, and their unique ability to grow and bloom right before our eyes. There is nothing more exciting than receiving a beautiful bouquet of long stemmed roses, a vase filled with radiant gerbera daises, or a vibrant green plant. We seek out the little square card hidden in between folds of glossy leaves and flowers which holds a greeting; a greeting of love, gratitude, condolences, and more. While we are smiling and thanking the recipient, it all started with the floral artists who are hard at work pairing tall green stalks of bells of Ireland, soft yellow cabbage roses, elegant blooming hydrangea and ranunculus, arranging them into lush colorful bouquets. One such floral artist is Linda Jefferson Glenn, whom we all know as “Jef.” She has been surrounded by flowers since birth when her parents started Jefferson Florist in Greenville, in 1948. Jef became seriously interested in floral design as a career forty-five years ago when she moved back to Greenville with her husband, Ed. Together, they attended American Floral Art School in Chicago; the same school her parents attended in 1948. Her floral journey was coming full circle. Floral design was not a path Jef planned to pursue, but here she was learning the business. “I was shocked questioning a return to the flower business (which I was never going to do), even crazier returning to the small town of Greenville which ‘was not for me,’ all the while wondering how could this be happening?” She had been away for ten years and during that time, she attended and graduated from Converse College where she majored in French and Art History. Her studies included a year abroad at the Sorbonne Universite”, Paris. Reflecting back on that junior year of study in Paris, Jef can recall those glorious days walking through the Luxembourg and Tuilerie Gardens on the way to class. I couldn’t get enough of the flowers and trees, especially the rose gardens at the Rodin
Museum. A few years later, working in Washington, DC for National Geographic Society, I found myself walking through the gardens again at the Smithsonian, the Arboretum, and the Merriweather Post Estate. There was something magical and peaceful about the scents and sounds.” Jefferson’s floral business literally bloomed all through the 80s and 90s and still remains a floral fixture in the community. As the business grew along with their reputation for expertise in event planning and production, Jef and Ed were invited, on several occasions, to work with Chief White House Floral Designer Rusty Young creating floral arrangements and décor for state dinners and congressional events. In 1994, they expanded and founded New Growth Designs®, known for its natural, lifelike flowers, plants and trees which are regarded by many as the most realistic botanical re-creations in the world. Their goal was “to bring high-end artificial flowers and plants to the market.” New Growth Designs® reaches the market via company showrooms at AmericasMart, Atlanta, The International Furniture Market, High Point, The Architectural Digest Design Show, NYC, Landscaping, Hospitality and Resort Trade Shows. Their first ‘silk’ floral product was the Paperwhite Narcissus, which is still a best selling product. Jef and her family are excited to provide you with not only quality live plants and flowers for all occasions, but also these synthetic life-like recreations to enjoy for all seasons. The greatest compliment is when someone believes the flowers and plants are real. Our passion for capturing the ‘spirit’ of a living flower or plant and commitment to the details of construction, color, and nuance is found in these lifelike botanicals. New Growth Designs® is represented in over 1500 locations throughout the world; major retail stores, museums, interior design and architecture firms.” Recently, New Growth Designs® launched a line of UV rated synthetic outdoor greenery products, for which demand has strongly increased. Architects and Landscape
professionals, once reluctant to use ‘artificial’ plants, are beginning to embrace the idea especially in urban areas where there are spaces with challenging growing conditions, maintenance, and water issues. Following more than three years of research and testing, the company has recently introduced Enduraleaf® a line of high performance, weather resistant outdoor greenery. And if that is not enough to make your heart bloom, they have a soft spot for historic restoration as well. Their son, Michael started the “Save a Building” phase for them when they bought the Blount Harvey building located just down from the Pitt County Court House on Evans Street. It had been vacant for over twenty-five years. “Everything about the interior was screaming for attention. It took a lot of effort, architect’s renderings, patience and some help from the NC Historic Preservation Group.” One highlight of that renovation was when the original exterior was uncovered and found to be reasonably intact. The restored and renovated Jefferson Blount Harvey building, now on the National Register of Historic Places, opened in 2005 and Jefferson’s was located there until 2018, when they recognized another diamond in the rough. The former Coca Cola Bottling Company building on Pitt Street. With the help and vision of architect Brad Williams, that building became a mixed used space housing Luna Pizza restaurant, Pitt Street Brewing Co and six two-story apartments. They also renovated the original Ice & Coal House, on 9th Street which is the new home of Jefferson’s. Like the other renovations this building retains many of its original appointments including the original walk-in refrigerator door as a focal point. For Jef, everyday is a new adventure. Whether it’s crafting a floral arrangement, engaging visitors at the wine bar, or chatting with locals who have come to know, love and support the endeavors that Jef and her family have brought to the community. “The best part of my day is connecting with people, listening and sharing; the joy of a new baby, thrill of a new grandparent, excitement of a first date, celebrating a 1st or 50th anniversary, helping someone ‘out of the doghouse’ and most difficult, empathizing over the loss of a loved one.” Flowers are still the heart of her family, the ‘blooms’ that have sustained her and the community since 1948. “Every morning I enter that door never knowing who might need a ‘pick me up’ or a ‘pat on the shoulder’. Dealing with a range of emotions and circumstances keeps me on a path forward, realizing we all have highs and lows in our lives. It’s exhilarating to know I might help to make someone’s day a little brighter. “I love what I do”, says Jef; and she loves sharing in “All the Celebrations of Life”.

"The best part of my day is connecting with people..." - Jef Glenn
By Christina Ruotolo
A rose by any other name will smell just as sweet. Roses come in all shapes, sizes, colors and provide you with blooms and fragrance all through the year. Here are a variety of roses to add beauty and color to your garden or home.
EBB TIDE FLORIBUNDA ROSE
FREEDOM ROSE The Freedom rose is a classic, red rose with deep red hues, velvet petals, cupshaped blooms and tall stems. They are considered the most popular rose in the world. Red roses are considered the universal symbol of true love and will add beauty and warmth to your floral arrangements or for any occasion. These popular roses are available year-round.
BLUE BIRD ROSE The Blue Bird lavender colored rose opens into an elegant star-shaped bloom. This rose features a medium-to-large head with above-average petal count. This beautiful rose is a favorite for wedding bouquets, centerpieces and floral arrangements. www.reflector.com/her
These easy-to-plant roses bloom June through September and feature sturdy stalks and deep plumish-purple blooms. The huge, ruffled petals have an abundance of fragrance similar to cloves along with a lovely old-fashioned double center bloom.
CORAL KNOCKOUT ROSE The unique coral colored rose thrives in hot, humid climates. They bloom from spring through fall and maintain an upright to rounded shape. The colors range from deep orange fading to coral with hints of peach and Salmon. The petals are more open and wispy and they are wonderful additions to your garden landscape.
POET’S WIFE ROSE
AKITO ROSE
In honor of National Poetry Month in April, this David Austin variety of rose features intense full yellow double blooms with a rich lemony fragrance that builds as the flowers mature. The petals are surrounded by shiny, green foliage and are beautiful additions to the front of your home or as border plants with their medium sized unobtrusive stature. They bloom in fall and summer and love the full sun on their faces.
This delicate white hybrid of the tea rose has a large star-shaped bloom and pure white petals. It’s a popular choice for weddings and funerals with its simple and elegant shape. These roses are available year round, have a vase life of up to one week and serve as a perfect filler, alongside this rose in DIY bouquets and centerpieces.

Landscaping your life! Pull up your life’s weeds.
By Coach Chris When I was a little girl, growing up in a small rural area, I was always fascinated by trees. Big trees, little trees, medium sized trees — it did not matter — trees made me feel at peace. Even today, whenever I go for a drive, I get caught up in the beauty of trees — it is almost like trees speak to me. Trees have a way of bending in the strongest winds but standing tall even when it looks like they are destined to break. Trees are beautiful and they provide an amazing treat to a landscaped scene. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a manicured yard with trees planted all around. By definition, landscaping means to make improvements on a property either in a practical or an aesthetic way. As I was preparing to write this column, I started thinking about the power of being able to “landscape your life.” As women, we wear so many hats and sometimes the weeds of overwhelm, procrastination and even fear can try to overtake the beauty of our landscapes. Sometimes, we do not feel like we are in control and feel as though we cannot make the necessary changes to restore the beauty of our once well-manicured lives. Well, I wanted to take a moment to encourage you today: Take control and landscape your life. Here are few tips to help you with your process:
Mow your life’s lawn. In other words, cut the grass. It is important to mow the lawn because it keeps it healthy and eliminates pests. Listen, your life is important. You must figure out what works for you and eliminate all that is irritating you or causing you not to be healthy. It could be a habit, it could be a relationship — whatever it is, mow your lawn.
10
A weed is a plant that is considered undesirable in a particular situation, in other words — it is a “plant in the wrong place.” Listen, I have had times in my life where I had people, places and things in the wrong place. I found myself in relationships where I was trying to rescue the person when in fact, my role should have been to show them how to reach the potential for themselves. Therefore, when I got the roles confused, the weeds began to grow. I should have been just a friend instead of a girlfriend. Someone who is reading this knows exactly what I am talking about. If that is the case, it is time for you to pull up your life’s weeds.
Plant some new flowers. Listen, it is time to do something new. You are in a new season, a new time, a new phase — plant some new flowers. Let some new habits bloom, let some new connections blossom. Allow the beauty of new flowers in your life to bud so that you can enjoy a refreshing that you deserve.
Move the dirt. It is time for you to release the negativity. You cannot move forward if you are stuck in the negative past…you must move the dirt. You have been stuck long enough and the world around you is waiting for the ultimate reveal of the beauty of your new landscape. I want to encourage you today — look at things from a different perspective. Evaluate the look of your life. Ask yourself the tough questions and then do something about them. It is time to landscape your life. Until next time, happy landscaping. Coach Chris is an improvement coach for leaders by helping them break free from overwhelm while taking their teams to high levels of performance

business spotlight
Kathryn Glenn with Keller Williams Points East Greenville native Kathryn Glenn is a part of the Jefferson Florist family. Being raised in the family business, she was exposed to customer service as well as community service at very young age. “My grandparents, Graham and Aileen Jefferson were the ideal role models. They brought so much to this community through Jefferson’s. They always managed to brighten someone’s day, everyday, while treating them like family”. Kathryn was interested in marketing, business and sales throughout her school years and after graduation from college was convinced by her grandfather that she should consider real estate as a career path. In 2009, she got her license and even though the housing market took a dive, Kathryn managed to make multiple sales. But it was not long before she actually found herself questioning whether to stay in Greenville. Having friends who had recently moved ‘north’ she made the decision to move to NYC. “Wow, what an experience it was”! But no matter how wonderful and exciting the city appeared, it soon become apparent that she was ‘really not a big city girl’. With that personal discovery she decided to return home to eastern NC and dive wholeheartedly into the community she knew and loved the most. Along with restarting her real estate career she got involved with local networking groups, the Chamber of Commerce, charities and community service organizations. Kathryn loves Greenville and eastern NC especially sharing this special place with the many new friends she has met via her real estate connections. “I’m here to earn their trust and introduce them to a community you will never want to leave”. “I would welcome the opportunity to assist with your real estate needs. Let me earn the right to be “Your NC Agent”. 12

GROW IT AT HOME! By Sarah Burkholder Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner. For some, that means going on vacation to the beach or to the mountains, but for me, my oasis is my own backyard. Now, I know what you’re thinking — my backyard must be a large, grass covered pasture that overlooks a creek or one that backs against the woods. However, my backyard consists of a concrete patio bordered with weathered wooden boards that serve as a divider from neighbors on both sides of my apartment. The small space has become my sanctuary. Last spring, I added small hanging baskets along the fence line and a few free-standing pots. I planted some seeds and hoped I inherited my mother’s green thumb. In a few short weeks, the plants were starting to grow and within a month, I had fresh, homegrown tomatoes, peppers, herbs and squash. Not only did I feel better about maximizing the space that I had, but I felt as though I accomplished something. Whether it was watching the plants flourish or knowing that I was receiving the freshest produce available, I felt healthier and rejuvenated. 14
The produce I consumed gave my body the nutrients it needed to thrive. It also provided many health benefits like reducing the risk of diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. For me, every day wasn’t just about tending to my garden, but more of a way to maintain my health by giving my body the nourishment it needed. Luckily, the green thumb was in my genes. With the right tools and a little planning, anyone can plant their own garden with any fruits or vegetables they choose.

LINDA JEFFERSON GLENN 70, Greenville, NC
Favorite family memory: We recently went on a family trip to Tanzania. Africa stirs the soul with the diversity of landscapes, ecosystems and wildlife. The Baobob trees stole my heart. At night, vast plains, starry skies, moonlight and happy sounds of creatures wildly communicating — an unforgettable experience.
Tell me about your family: “Jef” is married to Ed Glenn and they have three grown children. Her oldest son, Taylor, is a photographer and a Nat Geo contributor involved in Doctors Without Borders and Tribal Outreach Medical Assistance. He resides in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Her second son, Michael, lives in Greenville and is invested in the city’s balanced growth, a champion for Smart expansion, rehabilitation of properties and buildings. Her daughter, Kathryn, also lives in Greenville, and is a realtor with Keller Williams and is an avid supporter of Greenville’s growth.
Favorite style-icon: Carolyn Roehm for her love of nature and passion for everything. “When I see and touch the delicacy of an iris petal, I hear the rustle of silk taffeta. In design, in life, everything sparks a connection.” If you could have dinner with someone famous, who would it be: Fred Astaire for dinner and dancing. His passion for music and dance was exhilarating. With all his accolades for his extraordinary genius, he remained modest and elegant. My parents had a zest for life and dance, too. It permeated every part of our lives and spilled over in their daily work.
