Frederick resident reflects on decades of gardening
Creeping thyme is displayed in Hilburn’s garden. Hilburn has a variety of herbs in the garden, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage.
Hilburn has always been drawn to caring for flowers, an attribute she believes she gained from her mother, Imogene Carter. Carter was part of a garden club in Alexandria, Virginia, where Hilburn was raised. The group would walk through the Northern Vir ginia streets, finding places to use as their canvas. From city hall, to store fronts, the gardening club decorated town buildings with flower arrange ments and greenery. The club would have shows as well, displaying their flower arrangements for judges. Hilburn remembers attending the events with her mother and watched as she received ribbons for her flower creations.“Mymother’s favorite quote was, ‘I move flowers, like people move furni ture.’ And, you know, that’s pretty much the truth,” said Hilburn. “I’m always rearranging, finding the flowers a happy space where it does the best.”
A growing hobby
Hilburn took an immediate liking to the outdoor area, she had other priorities at the time. The Hilburns had children to raise and careers as educa tors in Montgomery County. There was also housework to com plete. Their country home, built in 1872, had served as a local general
Hilburn first started caring for the yard back when she and her husband, Glenn, moved onto the property. Back then, the space only had a few plants andThoughtrees.

hyllis Hilburn stood in the middle of her flower garden, surrounded by a sea of vi brant color. Plants were sit uated in a delicate array outside of her home. Sunflower stalks towered above the ground, birdhouses nestled throughout the fenced area.
Hilburn touched a pink and white gladiolus flower and said the flowers are reaching the end of their annual peak. As Hilburn continued to make her way through land that wrapped around the house, she strolled through arches and small pathways, each outdoor nook uncovering a quaint area. That flower garden was just a one portion of the yard.
For 47 years, Hilburn, 73, has tended to her bountiful garden surrounding her home in Frederick. Through the de cades, the garden has grown to consist of a variety of vegetation, such as flow ers, trees, vegetables, fruits and herbs.

With her other priorities taking pre cedence, Hilburn focused on caring for the foundation plants already on their property. She started by cleaning up areas outside, tending to overgrown plants and spending much of her time mowing the grass. When her children left for college 25 years ago, Hilburn felt it was the right time to start the process of expanding the garden into what it is today. She began buying new seeds for flow ers of different textures and colors to place throughout the garden. Hilburn sought out perennials, flowers that would return each season. Day lilies, azaleas, bulbs — she was impartial to anything low-maintenance. “You need to make your garden or your yard manageable,” said Hilburn. “If it’s overwhelming, it becomes a job.”
“The beauty of it when just you walk out in the morning,” said Hilburn, “it’s just gorgeous.”
LEFT: Hilburn, 73, walks through her garden on July 14. Hilburn has spent 47 years tending to the garden outside of her home, and works with a variety of plants.
Although many of the plants return each year, Hilburn has noticed flowers show up in varying areas of the garden each season. These volunteers reseed on their own and may germinate off of seeds dropped by wind, animals or flowers from the previous season. Some flowers will reproduce new plants. Oth ers will just continue growing off of the primary plant, according to Hilburn. Along with the volunteer plants, Hilburn said other factors can change the course the garden takes each sea son. The weather varies year to year, bringing different temperatures and amounts of rainfall. Wildlife that roam the property differ through the seasons as well. Foxes, bears, snapping turtles and other critters have come and gone as they pleased. To accompany the bountiful plants, antiques and trinkets can be found throughout the garden. Hilburn’s hus band, an antique dealer since the 1960s, finds items to place in the quiet nooks around the yard. A wheelbarrow nestled within the garden, a watering can dis played delicately on a bench and other structures all contribute to the quaint charm of the “Wheneverspace.Isee something that I think would fit in her garden, I get it for her,” said Glenn. Though Hilburn personally enjoys gardening, one of her passions is shar ing parts of the garden with others. She regularly gives away items from her yard to friends and family. Vegeta bles, herbs, as well as a variety of plants have been part of what she has gifted to people over the years. She has also shared her love for the outdoor space with her family. Hilburn has fond memories of spending time with her children in the yard. Now, she spends time exploring the space with her grandchildren when they visit.

The property included a smoke house and wash house, used today as sheds for outdoor tools. Though Hilburn and her husband admired the home’s histor ic charm, there was a lot of work that needed to be done.
Sunflower stalks tower above the ground in Phyllis Hilburn’s flower garden. The sunflowers shown are volunteer plants in the garden, meaning the plant reseeded on its own.
Hilburn has always viewed gardening as a hobby, not as work. She has always enjoyed being outdoors, appreciating the garden’s beauty and the ebb and flow of the yard through the seasons.
Gill lived in Frederick several years ago and had moved away for another job but said she was excited by the chance to come back to the area.
“Some of our residents, when they move in, they’re grieving a lot of things,” Gill said.

They’ll try to build on the same sense of community to create an en gaging, well-rounded environment when they welcome their first residents in the fall. Making the move Moving into a new environment is always stressful, Gill said, especially when someone is leaving a home they may have lived in for decades. Resi dents may also be mourning the loss of a spouse or loved one or adjusting to being away from the people who had taken care of them at their old home.
There can often be feelings of guilt for family members or caretakers over decisions to move a loved one into an assisted living facility, but families need to consider their own well-being as well as that of the person who is Village Crossing community prepares to welcome senior residents
“It started from a very young age where I really valued them and every thing that they had to share and teach me,” she said.

Having worked in a start-up com munity in her last job, she had enjoyed the chance to build a community from the ground up and saw a similar op portunity with Village Crossing. “Hiring all the staff, really being able to help mold the culture of that community and have it be a place of welcome for residents and families and staff alike — it’s such a cool experi ence to have that chance to work on something from the ground up, and I just really wanted that chance again,” sheThesaid.neighborhood’s developers have done a great job of creating a multigen erational community, where someone could potentially live throughout all the phases of their life, she said.

manda Gill won’t get her first official resident until some time this fall, but for now she’s busy applying a lifetime of work in the senior living industry toward creating an environment that will make everyone feel at home. Gill recently became the executive director of Village Crossing at Wor man’s Mill, a luxury assisted living community on the north side of the city of Frederick. She got her start working with se niors as a server in the dining room of an independent living facility when she was 16, but even before then, she grew up surrounded by seniors who taught and inspired her, including a grandmother who, at 97, still “amazes me every day,” she said.
She’d also heard good things about working for SageLife, the company that owns Village Crossing, and was excited about the Worman’s Mill com munity off of Md. 26 and Monocacy Boulevard in Frederick, where the community is located.

Encore Creativity for Older Adults, America’s largest choral organiza tion for adults over 55, welcomes new and returning singers to the fall session of its Encore Chorale of Fred erick, a local choral group that sings an eclectic mix of music in many styles from manyEncoreeras.is accepting registration for its 15-week program that begins Sept. 8.

The idea to hold seminars came from a senior education and information fair SOAR held in May. The nonprofit worked with Frederick Community College to host the event, which included a panelSOARdiscussion.received feedback on the event from attendees, many of whom said that they wanted an opportunity to ask more ques tions about certain topics. SOAR then reached out to various public libraries to find out which topics would be most relevant to the age group in various locations, i.e., residents in Brunswick may need to know more about trans portation than residents who live downtown and can walk.

Schultz said there is a lack of education and resources for old er adults, and they need to know about topics including elder law, Medicare and home safety. They also don’t receive their informa tion in the same way younger peo ple do. They don’t necessarily go on the internet or see events and information on social media sites or through email, she pointed out. However, they are one of the largest growing populations in the county, according to Schultz.

Seniors staying in their own homes can be vulnerable to social isola tion that can be harmful to their physi cal and cognitive health, Gill said.
Residents will receive an assessment when they arrive to determine their level of care, but assessments can also be triggered if staff members notice something while dealing with a resident.
Making a decision on when to make a move is never easy, but Gill hopes Vil lage Crossing can provide a spot that will make the decision a little easier.
While the idea of “aging in place” has become more popular in recent years, there’s no one size fits all approach to aging.
Along with independent living units, Village Crossing will also offer assisted living and personal care units, as well as memory care units for residents suffer ing from memory loss or impairment.
“That caregiver really needs to look at their wellbeing, and if caring for that senior is putting that caregiver’s health at risk, then moving into a community might be the right next step,” she said.

“It really is about trying to mimic what that person’s routine was as much as possible, and not making them mold into what’s easy for us,” Gill said.
