One Of Our Most Senior Customers Passes
John David Franklin McCall of Wilmington Island passed away yesterday, at the age of 99, according to his obituary found in the Savannah Morning News today. Mr. McCall, as we knew him at the store, was a very sweet man who had a slightly mischievous twinkle in his eye. He'd show up in his big white car,year after year, for collards or seed potatoes, and he always had a gift of some sort.
I visited with Mr. McCall for the last time just the other day. He showed up at the store on one of those cold rainy days when you don't feel like going to the mailbox-let alone to the plant nursery. He wore a hat, as usual, and an off-white jacket. Walking wasn't easy for Mr. McCall. He moved confidently, but slowly, with the help of a cane. On that day he pulled a brightly-colored orange from his pocket and placed it in my hand. He had told us many times of his bumper citrus crops. Mr. McCall loved to talk about citrus.
I handed Mr. McCall a couple copies of Grier's Almanac that he had requested. He awkwardly turned the pages until he found the ad for the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator. "That's the best tiller you could ever buy," he said. "I had mine for years." I'm not sure what made him want to share that with me at that particular time, but I was grateful for the recommendation.
As Mr. McCall turned to leave he turned back and put a hand on my arm. "You're a good girl," he said. "You're a really good girl." It was his emphasis that made that stick in my mind. I wouldn't see him again after that.
I hope that Mr. McCall has found himself at the edge of a huge expanse of freshly-tilled earth. I hope the sun is shining and there is an orange tree blooming nearby sending a sweet fragrance through the air. Finally, I hope there is a bucket of seed potatoes by his side, because it's time to plant again.

Container Gardening Part 2-Contrast
When designing a container, it is important to consider the distance from which it will be viewed. For example, if you are creating a container for the center of an outdoor seating area, it can be subtle. People are appreciating it from only a few feet away. If you are designing for a front entry, however, a bold statement is required. The most important element for such a composition is contrast.
Contrast is most often evident by its absence. Without contrast, combinations look messy, muddy, and unedited. Its a bunch of grassy foliage jumbled together or scads of tiny blooms competing for the spotlight. It's what makes us go, "This needs something."
Using contrast to benefit your containers is as easy as thinking in opposites. Let us start with the container itself. You've got a simple terracotta pot. How can we describe it? It's earthy, warm, old-fashioned, and unpretentious. Contrast suggests that the first plant we choose should reflect the opposite. We want foliage that is sleek, cool-toned, or modern.
Consider these options for our first plant: Variegated Water Iris, Lamb's Ear, Corkscrew Grass
Let's say we go with the Water Iris. It's upright, smooth, and variegated. We need a second plant that is sprawling, textured, and rich in color.
Second plant options: Mustard Greens, Purple Setcreasea or Heuchera
I like the dimpled texture of the Mustard. It's broad greenish purple leaves compliment the Water Iris nicely.
Finally, the splash of color is up to you. Snap Dragons and Pansies are always popular, but I suggest breaking from the pack with Nemesia! This cool season annual comes in white, lavender, and yellow. The white offers a sweet scent that will have you pining for Spring. For a slightly bigger bloom try Superbells Calibrachoa.

How To Get Your Buzz
Hester and Zipperer's new and improved monthly e-newsletter, The Buzz, went out to about one hundred of you recently. We are delighted to say that we've already received positive feedback from customers. We're using software called "Email Brain" to create our newsletters, and so far, it has enabled us to make leaps and bounds in our creative expression.
Those of you who read this blog may be wondering what The Buzz will have to offer. My answer is that the newsletter and blog will work together. For example, the newsletter will give you a month's glance at what we're up to at the store. It will contain our Wilmington Island location's schedule for its Saturday morning classes. It will suggest issues that should be addressed in the garden during that month. It will also offer information on new products and plants.
Our blog will offer more detail on the topics mentioned in The Buzz. It will provide links to other sites dealing with those topics. It will contain all sorts of photos (some more entertaining than informative), and it will illustrate all that gardening has to offer us.
Do YOU get The Buzz? Send your email address to: hesterandzipperer@hotmail.com

Pass The Bees Please
Bees
Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Wilmington Island resident, Scott Barnard, for a chance to get up close and personal with some bees. Bees, of late, have been in the news due to colonies collapsing all over the country. There is talk of a virus being to blame. My interest in the bees was not as a researcher though. Nor was it as a garden center employee. I just thought it would be really cool.
Christine and Scott Demonstrate The Finest in Beekeeper Fashion
I work around bees all the time. They buzz inches from my face as I water the Ligustrum. I watch them swoon over Salvia and go bananas for African Basil blooms. So, why was I itching for a hive visit? Simply put, I wanted to see if I could walk the walk. It's one thing to see a few bees on flowers. It's another to have hundreds of them shaken from their homes a few feet in front of you. Would I panic and run for cover? I needed to know. I needed to know if the bees would best me.
The reality, which beekeepers, like Scott, are anxious to get out to the masses, is that honey bees are not aggressive bees. They are not the monsters that our swatting and panic would make them out to be. Scott was nice enough to loan me a book called "Beekeeping For Dummies" which helps explain bees to even the biggest, well "dummy."
One of the key beekeeping tools talked about in the book is called a smoker. By smoking a hive, before removing the frames, you decrease the number of bees flying around. Their instinct is to go inside and escape the pretend forest fire.
Bees Have A Lot To Teach Us
Their ability to communicate, through chemical pheromones and dance surpasses most of what you'll get from your kids at the dinner table. The Queen can signal her worker bees to build more comb, take care of young, search for food, and even store food neatly. The miracle is that she does this without threatening to take away access to the Internet, scarfing their cell phones, or beating them senseless!
Learning about bees is a good idea for even those who will never keep a hive. Firstly, it will allow you to wander through any garden with ease. Secondly, your new Zen attitude toward the buzzing beauties can be passed on to children in your life. (There will be no more shrieks of terror upon spotting one.) Lastly, you will be able to see how bees effect every fruit and veggie you put on your table.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Here Scott uses a hot knife to uncap cells. The frame will then
be placed in a stainless steel extractor that will use centrifugal
force to remove the honey.
Gardens can be designed to attract bees. It is similar to attracting butterflies. Most of the plants chosen are perennials. Bees, however, have their own favorite finds. Many of them might already be in your yard.
Bee-Attracting Plants
Blueberry Bushes
Crepe Myrtles
Orange Blossoms
Red Bud Trees
Indian Hawthorn
Purple Cone Flowers
Honeysuckle
Mexican Bush Sage
And much more!
I hope you've learned a little bit about bees. Thanks to the Barnard family for allowing me time with "their girls." The bees were perfect ladies, and didn't sting me once.
Please watch for bee-friendly merchandise at Hester & Zipperer.

Put Your Plants To Work!
Calling All Cooks! Calling All Noncooks!
I'm very excited about the new "widget" on this page for finding recipes. How often do we find ourselves wondering what to make for dinner? Now, you can pop by our blog and get some ideas! Hopefully, you'll find some cool new ways to use the herbs and veggies that we carry!
Even more important than the recipes is the feedback. I'd like to hear what you've tried! How did it work out for you? Would you make it again?
I'd also like to encourage you to send in original recipes to be featured on our blog! Maybe at some point we could make a cookbook. I can see it now! We'll be flipping through chapters called, "The Park", "Bradley Point", and "Old Towne"!
So, send them in, and let's get cookin'!

SAVE OUR TREES, PLEASE.
One does not need to have a diet rich in granola in order to appreciate the canopy of Live Oaks along Johnny Mercer Blvd, nor does one need to have placed flowers in the barrel of a gun in order to see that they must be protected and properly maintained. (I am afraid that the uneducated pruning of them leaves disjointed skeletons where mighty soldiers once stood proud and tall.)
The Wilmington Island Hester and Zipperer is delighted to host a SAVE OUR TREES petition that will be given to Chatham County Commission Chairman, Pete Liakakis, and 4th District County Commissioner, Pat Farrell. It is designed to prevent further trees from being taken down along Johnny Mercer Blvd. It seems that more lots are in danger of losing their trees.
Please come by the store and support the trees whose shade has fallen upon our great-grandparents, so that it may, one day, fall upon our great-grandchildren as well.
Find contact information for Chatham County below:

Sales Soar Saturday-Spring Fling A Success!
SALES!!!
Landscaping one's yard can take a hefty bite from the wallet, so homeowners flooded our gates for a chance to get some great bargains! There was a sale for everyone, I believe!
Some people just wanted to come out and get some sun!
That was alright. We were glad to have them. You see, when people stop by to browse, often they find a must-have like Alex here.
Travis proudly shows off a Bottlebrush Topiary
Our Alex finds a woman who yearns for ferns!
Our Fundraiser Continues...
Alicia makes a lovely model for our Spring Fling t-shirt, and gives props to Wild Delight who, along with Fertilome, sponsored them!
Please, if you haven't already, come get a "Creatures Great And Small" t-shirt. They are $20.00, and the proceeds are split between May Howard Elementary and Riddle's Elephant Sanctuary. (www.elephantsanctuary.org)
Thanks to John from Coach's Corner for the Hot Dog Set Up! We are sorry to say that Lighthouse Pizza was a no-show after offering to host pizza and soft drinks for our event.
Thursday's Spring Fling Gallery Night
Social Butterflies
"You clean up pretty good," was the phrase most frequently heard at our Hester and Zipperer gallery night. We all threw our well-worn t-shirts and jeans into the hamper in exchange for something a little more fancy. After all, it was our Gallery Night!
Amy's stunning creations wowed everyone! We were so happy to have her take up with us for the evening.
The beautiful spread was arranged by Judy and Amanda! From the looks of things, everyone was delighted. I believe the spinach dip MIGHT have changed some lives out there.
Those of you who weren't there the other evening must come in and check out the soy candles by Natalie. The Low Country Luxe line will make you weak in the knees, because they smell so good. These candles are so classy and beautifully packaged!
We were very fortunate to have Bill Smith, Ellen Grosse, and Ray Williams fill the air with musical bliss.
Friedman's Fine Art was very generous to let us share in the botanical works for the weekend. Customers filed in all evening to the remarkable pieces. The detail was quite striking, and it gave us all something to aspire to in the garden.
Finally, I must give great thanks to Skidaway Liquor Center. They kept the wine flowing, and our faces glowing, all evening long! (So much, in fact, that you will all recall the trouble I had changing the register tape.)
Fitz and Jan Hiltzheimer proudly display the one that didn't get away!
Our end of the night sale had customers reaching for their favorite finds. Fitz and Jan found this lovely mermaid flying overhead, and decided that she had to come home with them!
Thank you all for making the evening a glorious success!

It's Good To Be Back!
Well, I've made it back from my internship at Riddle's Elephant Sanctuary, and it seems that I've come back to wonderful gardening weather! Tomorrow it is supposed to be 80 degrees! God Bless the South. Remember that Mother Nature can be fickle though. We are not out of danger for frost until around St. Patrick's Day. That being said, there are plenty of plants in stock that are just aching to make your yards look great.
Butterfly gardeners can get an early start with our gallon pots of Scabiosa. The lavender blooms, also called Pincushion Flowers, stand on wire-like stems and give a sense of whimsy to a landscape. Of course, that reliable work horse, Lantana, is also available to feed your butterfly cronies. Gardeners not familiar with the newer dwarf varieties should come check them out, because they can be accomodated by small gardens and containers easier than their massive counterparts.
Caladium and Elephant Ear bulbs have just arrived, and there are varieties for almost every lighting situation. These trobical looking beauties make excellent backdrops for flowers like Begonias and Impatiens that will arrive later in Spring.
A garden spot that stays moist, has soil rich in organic matter, and protected from strong winds is ideal for both Caladiums and Elephant Ears, and don't forget that they can make striking additions to containers. Monthly fertilizing is a good plan to keep their foliage healthy.
If your New Year's Resolution is to eat healthier, than we can help. Let us show you how to plant an attractive container of salad greens, or better yet, have one custom made! You'll also want to keep an eye out for fruit trees that will be arriving in the nursery soon. Of course, our recent shipment of Citrus can hold you over until then. Don't forget to ask about the proper fertilizer as well.
Lastly, Valentine's Day is approaching. This would be a good time to ask your gardening sweetie what they might enjoy for their plot. Don't forget good gifts like bird houses,bird feeders, and bird baths!
