Home & Garden
Welcome to our annual Home & Garden Issue of Effingham Magazine. In this issue we share lives of adventure and the simple pleasures close to home.
Sometimes a life event can shake you to the core and be a catalyst to venture away from home. That’s why the Magnificent 7–Pamela and Glenn Jackson, Lori and Wayne Dasher, Johnnie and Teresa Jackson, and the memory of their friend Robert Dasher, who passed away from COVID–will set sail April 15 to complete the Great Loop, a recreational boating route that follows the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the Chesapeake Bay, the New York Canals, the Great Lakes, some inland rivers and the Gulf of Mexico. Think of it as the Appalachian Trail for boaters. We wish them well on their journey!
We also connected with globetrotter Billy Lane, who has a zest for adventure despite losing his hearing at 8 months of age. He enjoys skydiving (which he calls a relaxing sport!) and solo traveling. His latest travels have taken him to Scotland, where he loved taking in the sights and the changing weather. But for now, he’s back home in Rincon.

After spending time away, it can be comforting to return home. Springfield Mayor Barty Alderman–who can trace his family back to Effingham County since the 1730s–has been working with Jimmy and Dee Moncrief of Moncrief Renovations to restore an 19th century farmhouse on Rahn Station Road while retaining its historical integrity.
The Home & Garden Issue wouldn’t be complete without some gardening tips. Learn how to start a thriving container garden and get some pointers from some local nurseries for growing one of summer’s favorite harvests: tomatoes. With a strong foundation, you can look forward to a bumper crop even if you (like me) don’t have a self-proclaimed green thumb.
I hope you enjoy the stories in this issue of Effingham Magazine and that they give you the motivation to try something new, whether it’s a coat of paint or plans for a road trip.
