Letter from the Editor

In the pages of Green Scene, we usually talk about plants andgardeners, but this time around, we wanted to focus on peo-ple who make things, often using materials from their gardens

or landscapes. This is all the more prevalent in this era of sustain-ability and local food, when many of us are trying to re-connectwith the natural resources that surround us, be it a piece of woodor a chicken happily clucking in the yard.

One such artisan is Christina Maser, who makes locally sourced,organic goodies, from herb-scented soaps and candles to salsa,mustard, and vinaigrette for the table. We discovered

Christina’s delights, notably hersimply delicious fruit jams, atMeadowbrook Farm, thePHS-owned garden center inAbington Township, PA.

“We support nearby farms, so 90percent of the fruit we use for ourjams comes from local LancasterCounty farmers,” says Christina,whose company is based in Lancaster(christinamaser.com). “We get all ofour peaches from the Althouse Farm,

all of our red raspberries from Mr. Levi Stoltzfus, and all of ourstrawberries from Mr. Aaron King Jr. No matter what we’re lookingfor, from jars to wicks, we always look local first. It just makes themost sense.

“Most of our jam varieties, however, are created based on whatfruit I have on hand at the time,” she continues. “For example, whenPeach Basil was created it was because I had an abundance of bothpeaches and basil and didn’t want either to go to waste. It turned outto be an incredible combination. Blueberry Lime happened the firsttime I attempted to make blueberry jam. I already had the berries inthe pot and realized I didn’t have any lemons or lemon juice, butI did have a few limes. Blueberry Lime is our number-one sellingjam, hands down. Sometimes great creations happen based on anoverabundance of something from the garden.”

Christina’s inspiring story is but one of many such tales in ourregion. In the following pages, you’ll read about other creativefolks doing amazing things, often using natural materials or foundobjects right at their fingertips.

Now it’s your turn: Do you know any gardeners or artisanswho are making interesting, natural products? If so, visit the PHSFacebook page and let us know about their talents!

“Purple martins love to live incondominiums,” says Burke, “so theirhomes tend to be multiplexes.” Dependingon the complexity and size, a few of Tom’sMcMansions weigh 400 pounds or so andare priced at more than $9,000. Burke, 5feet 10 inches tall, says, “I could lie downin some of them.”

Burke is not a birder, nor are most ofhis customers. “They enjoy the birds, butthey’re mostly into their houses,” he says.Nevertheless, his exclusive estates attract awealth of sophisticated roosting residentswho recognize that an ultra-fancy birddwelling—even one that sells for $500 andup—is still one tweet deal, especially now,when housing loans for birds are currentlyat an all-time low.

Goat CheeseBLISS

When folks ask Al Renziof Yellow Springs Farmwhat it takes to become

an artisanal cheesemaker, he often respondswith a question: “I ask people if theyenjoy washing dishes,” he says, “becausecheesemakers do a lot of that.”

Making excellent cheese—and making itsafely—requires a meticulousness that manypeople would find daunting. There are otherchallenges as well, such as getting up at threein the morning to feed baby goats, keepingup with the fluctuating prices of hay and goat

feed, and confronting the daily grindof back-breaking labor.

Those unglamorous details,however, fade into the backgroundwhen one tastes the end result: a

piece of creamy goat cheese that hasbeen washed in red wine, wrapped in

a sycamore leaf, and aged for up to twomonths. This earthy Yellow Springs Farm

creation, called “Red Leaf,” earned a topprize from the American Cheese Society in2010, and for good reason—it’s sublime.

Renzi and his wife, Catherine, got into theartisanal goat cheese business gradually. Theypurchased their eight-acre property about 10years ago and started a native plant nurseryand garden consulting business. The plantnursery is still thriving; the goats came later.

“We received two Nubian goats from afriend six years ago,” Al explains. “We bothlove to cook and we started making cheesesfor ourselves and to share with family andfriends. Then people started saying, ‘Youshould do this.’”

FROM GARDEN TO PLATEAl likes to flavor the cheeses using plants

and trees grown on the property—to makethe cheese, as he says, “of the place.”

“We try to connect all the dots on thefarm,” Al explains. “Flowers, herbs, bark,and leaves from our plants go into thecheeses.”

For example, the Renzis harvest younggreen nuts from black walnut trees on theproperty to make nocino, an Italian liqueur.The “must” (leftover fermented nuts) goesinto another award-winning cheese called“Nutcracker.” “I like finding a positive usefor the black walnut,” says Renzi. (Gardenersdislike the tree because its roots produce atoxin that can kill other plants.)

Such creative use of what is right at handsets Yellows Springs Farm’s products apart,and that’s the way Al and Catherine like it.Says Al, “We like to charge ahead withoutfear, and that approach has helped us createcheese that is truly unique.”

Located in Chester County, YellowSprings Farm, with its house and out-build-ings, is a remnant of a larger dairy farmthat existed on this spot 150 years ago. “Wewanted to do something that respected thehistory of the place,” says Al. The site is toosmall now to support dairy cows, but goatspresented an attractive option. The YellowSprings herd now includes 50 adorablegoats with long, soft ears—and yes, eachone has a name.

THE ART OF THE CURDBreeding happens in October. When the

goats become pregnant, milk productiondrops, bringing the cheese-making to a fullstop in December. Once the kids are born,the Renzis let them nurse on their moth-ers for a few days, afterwards feeding themorganic cow’s milk from a local farm. Adultgoats eat organic grains and local hay.

With a background in microbiology,Al is well suited to the painstaking task ofmaking cheese. (Catherine handles market-ing and is the main driver of the nurseryend of the business.) The process beginswith gentle heating and stirring of the goat’smilk in a large stainless steel tub over manyhours to release the liquid whey. As theseparation begins, the soft curds are cut witha long knife. Next, the curds are strainedand placed into molds lined with cheesecloth. Flavorings are added at this point, andthe cheese is placed in a cool cellar—actuallyit looks more like a walk-in refrigerator—and left to age for up to two months.

Al makes traditional soft goat cheeses,known as chèvre, as well as hard cheeses.The more whey extracted from the cheese,the firmer it will be. He also makes anextremely delicious goat’s milk caramelsauce.

While the Renzis sell cheese at farmersmarkets, online, and to a few restaurants,their primary outlet is the Yellow SpringsFarm CSA (community supportedagriculture). Customers purchasesubscriptions at the beginning of the seasonand receive three selections of cheese permonth. “We like having that directconnection with our customers,” says Al.

The husband-and-wife team has traveledeverywhere from Italy to Amsterdam andthroughout the United States in search ofwell-worn materials to bring back to theirhome-based studio in Philly’s Fishtownneighborhood. Working in an 1800s andonce-upon-a-time bootlegger’s house,Margaux and Walter make handmadejournals, jewelry, and products for the homeand garden to sell under the name Peg andAwl. Shipping crates are transformed intoa pair of bookends, and 200-year-old scrapwood becomes a set of garden stakes.

“We like things from the past, but we likethem as they were affected by time,” saysMargaux. A new item that looks vintagewon’t do. That’s not interesting, she says.By using reclaimed materials, the coupleis sharing an old tale and at the same timeadding a new chapter.

Their love of stories told throughtime-worn treasures is rooted in a deepappreciation of history. Margaux records herpersonal history through writing in her ownhandmade journals. She visits abandonedbuildings for fun and deems few things,not even her grandmother’s hankies, asworthy of trashing. Walter is the son of awoodworker and was home-schooled by hismother, who was his commander of CivilWar reenactments and personal chaperoneto historic sites.

The marks of history and hints of bygonedays are evident in the antique, knotted

woods, the rich oils and stains, and theclean Shaker-like lines of Peg and Awl’shandcrafted furniture, vase caddies, pictureframes, garden boxes, and tree swings.

As much as Walter and Margaux areartists inspired by the past, they are equallypractical. Nearly everything they make andsell serves some everyday need in the homeand garden. Necessity is, as they say, themother of invention, and it is what firstgave life to Peg and Awl.

“Peg and Awl started when Margauxasked me for a tub caddy,” says Walter.“She wanted to be able to sit in the tub andread and write in a journal,” so he made herone out of oak taken from an old hardwarestore that is now his woodworking shop.

That human element is an important partof their work—from the carefully selectedmaterials tenderly crafted into new items tothe handwritten letterpress tags thataccompany each sale. After all, a story isonly as good as its characters make it.

ALTHOUGH DAVID HUGHES DESIGNS ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPES, YOU MIGHT REFER TO HIM

AS A LANDSCAPE ART-CHITECT. HUGHES, A DOYLESTOWN-BASED REGISTERED LANDSCAPE

ARCHITECT AND OWNER OF WEATHERWOOD DESIGN, ALSO CREATES STUNNING RUSTIC

FURNITURE, MUCH OF IT BUILT FROM THE WOOD OF INVASIVE TREES AND WOODY VINES.

Rustic RebelDavid Hughes turns invasive trees into functional furniture

by Laura Brandtphotos by Pete Prown and Laura Brandt

Hughes grew up in Glenside,just north of Philadelphia.“I come from a family oftradesmen. I have cousins whoare stonemasons and one whois a blacksmith. My grandfatherwas a roofer who built or madewhatever he needed, includingan addition to his home. I beganbuilding things in high school.Then in college, I made a loft bedto save space in my dorm room.”Hughes’s cousins do most ofthe stonework for his landscapedesign clients.

The rustic furniture portion ofhis business took off about two

years ago, after Hughes attendeda workshop with Daniel Mackin Warwick, NY. A respectedauthority on rustic furniturestyles, Mack has written severalbooks on the topic, includingMaking Rustic Furniture andRustic Furniture Workshop. “Mackis a wonderful individual who isopen and honest,” says Hughes.“With his hands-on teachingstyle, he allows students to learnat their own pace in their ownway.”

Hughes spends part of hisweek working on garden designprojects and part of it building

furniture for various projects.Sometimes the design workgenerates the woodworkingprojects. For example, for a recentresidential landscaping project,the clients—whose propertyincludes a cedar glade—askedhim to create a fire pit terrace.After that, they requested fourchairs to place around the fire.

“As the cedar forest matured,some of the trees were shadedout. I was able to harvest somedead Eastern red cedar timbersand use them for parts of thechairs.” Hughes enjoys finding aconnection like this to the

property or to the propertyowner. “When you buildfurniture from wood that was onthe clients’ property, they have adeeper stake in the project.”

Hughes enjoys working witha variety of woods but has hispreferences. “One of my favoritesis sassafras wood,” says Hughes.“It is lightweight in comparisonto black locust. It’s easy to workwith and carve. It has some rotresistance, but not as much asblack locust.”

For outdoor pieces, he prefersto use cedar and black locust.Other useful woods include whitemulberry (Morus alba) and Osageorange (Maclura pomifera).“I use a lot of red cedar—it’splentiful and readily available,and others don’t want it. WhileEastern red cedar (Juniperusvirginiana) is our native ever-green, people don’t seem to wantthese trees on their propertyas much because they have anunkempt character.”

Often Hughes finds himselfworking on sites where there are aconsiderable number of invasivesthat must be removed beforeinstalling a native plant garden.He salvages some of this materialfor furniture, rustic art pieces,garden screens, and other pieces.

“From the beginning of thenative plant movement, invasiveplants have been seen as badand ugly things,” says Hughes.“While invasives are degradinglandscapes, it’s a mistake to lookat them as waste products. I liketo look at them as by-productsthat can be used for anotherpurpose. I think this is a healthierway to view the overall picture ofthe ecological movement.”

mulberry, and Eurasian honeysuckle.“My future vision is to have a property

where I grow trees in a hedgerow style andcrop out the oldest stems every few years,”says Hughes. “By carefully selecting sectionsof several years of growth, the hedgerowreplenishes itself. Europeans have beengrowing and rejuvenating hedgerows forhundreds of years for firewood and otherpurposes.” He hopes to work with ironwoodand a few other native species.

Hughes envisions a small farm completewith a barn to store and dry large quantitiesof wood. He also hopes to build a solar kilnto dry the wood and a solar sawmill to cutthe wood. At age 43, Hughes has enoughpassion and energy to realize his dreams; it’sonly a matter of time.

When asked what advice he wouldgive to those interested in woodworking orfollowing their passion, he says, “Draw fromyour various life experiences in whatever youdo. You don’t have to have woodworkingexperience to start building furniture. But ithelps to take some workshops in this area tolearn from the masters of this craft.

“Ask yourself what you want to create inyour own life,” he continues. “My businesshas been an evolution, sort of a mix betweenthe right and left brain. Part of the weekI spend doing technical landscape-relateddrawings, while at other times I’m doingmore hands-on work creating furniture.There’s an artist in everyone—the questionis: do you allow it to surface and tap intoit, or do you let it pass by and wonder whatmight have been?”

You can see Hughes’s woodworking pieces atRiverbank Arts in Stockton, NJ. In addition, he will beparticipating in this year’s Doylestown Arts Festivalon September 17 and 18.

Cercis canadensis The Rising Sun™ isa standout among Eastern redbuds. JimThompson of Greenleaf Nursery says, “It’ssure to brighten up your garden with goldenheart-shaped foliage that lasts all summerlong without burning,” surpassing othergold-leaved redbuds. Its distinctive smooth,tan bark with a yellowish cast extends thepeachy color into winter. Rosy-orchid sweetpea-type blossoms march along bare branch-es in early spring. Heat tolerance, droughtresistance, and cold hardiness are otherdesirable attributes. A vigorous grower, 12feet when mature, it is perfect for smallin-town gardens or as an accent in largerlandscapes.

Cornus officinalis ‘Kintoki’ (Japanese Cornel Dogwood) blooms inMarch, two weeks earlier than Cornus mas. Heidi Hesselein, co-founder ofPleasant Run Nursery, says, “It’s a great multi-season plant. Small brilliantyellow flowers cover the stems in March. This cultivar was originallychosen for the Japanese cut-flower trade because of the heavy flowerproduction. The spring display is followed by bird-attracting bright redhanging fruit in early fall, and winter interest is provided by themulticolored exfoliated brown, orange, and tan bark.” Fifteen feet highand equally wide, ‘Kintoki’ is smaller than the species and puts on aspectacular display in full sun or partial shade.

Prunus lusitanica, Portugal Laurel, a species ofMediterranean cherry, has been grown in Englandsince Elizabethan times. Wild specimens can reach50 feet, but cultivated trees or shrubs scarcely reach30. Bright green leaves sprout on red stems. InMay, profuse 5- to 10-inch racemes of small whiteflowers are followed by reddish-green fruitsturning dark purple or black by autumn—for birdsalone. Says Steve Mostardi of Mostardi Nursery, “Itexpands the palette of broad-leaved evergreens forour area, specifically in its adaptability to shade andpoor soil conditions.” It also resists a fungus thatplagues many cherries. Caution: the leaves may bedeer-browsed and will release cyanide into the air ifburned; the berries are also toxic.

Viburnum x rhytidophylloides‘Dart’s Duke’, adaptable andeasy, was selected for its impressive8- to 10-inch creamy flower headsthat attract butterflies in May andoccasionally re-bloom in October;abundant bright red berries thatturn black; and extra large,leathery dark green leaves. It grows8 to 10 feet high and wide,tolerating full sun or shade. Toproduce the most berries, apollinator of the same species(dentatum) and bloom time, butdifferent variety, should be plantednearby. Heidi Hesselein alsorecommends this multi-seasonplant because its semi-evergreen“winter leaves don’t droop andlook ‘depressed,’ and best of all,it has proved to be deer-resistantin all but the worst deer-infestedareas.”

One bright fall day whileshopping for fresh produceat the Lower Makefield

Township Farmers Market, I saw a manselling unusual, incredibly large fruits thatlooked like mangoes. He invited shoppersto try the oblong-shaped fruits and offeredgrowing information and recipes. He wasselling both the fruits and tree seedlings.This was Larry Rossi, the “pawpaw man.”

While many people have never heardof pawpaw, some may recall the refrain“Pickin’ up pawpaws, put ’em in yourpockets,” from the folk song, Way DownYonder in the Pawpaw Patch.

Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the largestedible native fruit of North America. Mostpeople describe pawpaw as having a creamy,custardy texture and a mango-banana flavor,with citrus, melon, and pineapple notes.

Rossi has devoted the last 15 years togrowing more than 700 pawpaw trees alongthe Neshaminy Creek near his Langhornehome. To grow this crop successfully,gardeners require patience, knowledge,and intellectual curiosity.

Just like these uncommon fruits, Rossi isan uncommon man with a singular passion.

PAWPAW GROWIN’AND PICKIN’Rossi’s orchard lies in a great spot near

the creek with its deep, fertile floodplainsoil. “I think you could grow pawpawsanywhere with good soil and gooddrainage,” says Rossi. For maximum fruitproduction, you will need at least twodifferent cultivars that receive at least a halfday of sun.

In May the trees produce dark purplishred blossoms and give off a fetid scent thatattracts flies and beetles, which pollinatethe flowers. However, this process is highlyweather-dependent. “Pawpaws are notan easy thing to grow; the farmer needspersistence,” says Rossi. “Last year we hadfrost in May, which killed many of theblossoms. But some years I’ve had to thinthe fruit out because too much fruit zapsenergy from the trees.”

Pawpaws grow in clusters like bananas.

While the fruit ripens during the month ofSeptember, it takes about a month for allthe fruit to ripen on one tree.

Larry Rossi studies the fruit closely toguage ripeness. Because it is difficult to findripe pawpaw clusters in the orchard, Rossihas to feel each individual fruit in each clus-ter to see if it has softened a bit; otherwise,the fruit could be rock hard.

“The fruits don’t have a color break whenthey ripen, although they may turn slightlyyellowish, but not bright yellow. Anythingreally yellow is too soft,” he says.

PAWPAW FINDIN’Besides your local farmers market, you

may find pawpaws at arboretum plantsales or through mail-order sources. Whilethe fruit is intriguing, you might simplywant to grow this small native tree for itsbeautiful golden fall leaf color. As a bonus,you’ll attract zebra swallowtail caterpillarsthat feed exclusively on pawpaw leaves.

Once you discover pawpaws, you’ll wantto try to grow them. This spring, I receiveda small tree seedling at a plant swap, and Ican’t wait to watch it grow!

A structure of Harry

supports larkspur,

foxtail lily, amaranthus,

These combine with

winding ivy to create

The standing bouquet is aninnovative way to displayflowers. Flower stems are

tied to a branch structure for support.Tubes can be used to elevate stems foradded height. The standing bouquethelps flowers last longer because theyare in fresh water, and it is a good wayto display delicate stems. When prop-erly constructed, the arrangement is afree-standing piece and can be movedquite easily.

Flower stems can be placed in tubes

for added height.

Confessions of a Bad Beekeeperby Bill Turnbull(The Experiment, $13.95)

The stated aim of this book is to demystifythe beekeeping universe and help othersavoid the author’s foibles, which arerecounted with plenty of self-deprecatinghumor. As a “bad beekeeper,” Turnbull says,he’s “managed to send three queens to theirdoom” and has been stung “more times andin more places” than he can recall.

Books in the PHS McLean Library

Tips for Container Gardeningby the Editors & Contributorsof Fine Gardening(Taunton Press, $19.95)

The folks at Fine Gardening magazinehave put together a collection of tipsand photographs on container gardeningfrom gardeners and gardening expertsall over the country. The ideas arepresented in short, easy-to-graspentries and range from the practical—growing 100 pounds of potatoes ina barrel—to the dramatic—a mixedplanting that features King Tut grass(Cyperus papyrus), which grows up to6 feet tall.

As one might expect with a projectof this sort, there’s a range of quality,both in the pictures and the concepts,but the collection offers plenty ofuseful information, including clevertips on watering, maintenance, andover-wintering.

—Jane Carroll

Happily, though, this enjoyable read isfull of “good beekeeper” information andfascinating details about bees, such asthe fact that they dance to tell other beeswhere to find flowers, the source of theall-important nectar they turn into honey.That process, we also learn, involves a fairbit of regurgitation. “So the honey you eat,”Turnbull writes, “has actually been through themouths of a number of bees, and has beenexpectorated from one to another. Yum.”

Local Heroes

When people think of locally grown food, tomatoes and zucchini likely come to mind. But Center City resident BaileyHale believes that Philadelphians should have the right to raise another valuable food source: egg-producing chickens.

Cities as varied as Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Baltimore all accommodate chicken ownership, but it istechnically illegal in Philadelphia. Hale, who grew up on a farm and recently tried his hand at raising chickens (but ran“a-fowl” of the law), sees this restriction as old-fashioned and misinformed. “I like to think that for every chicken that peopleraise on their own, there is one more factory chicken without a job,” he says.

There can be no denying that the eggs of home-grown chickens are of a superior class. “Local eggs are fresher than thosethat are shipped and sit on supermarket shelves,” says Hale, “and there’s a comfort in knowing the chickens responsible forthem are well cared for.”

Hale, co-owner of the floral design company MODA botanica (a Philadelphia International Flower Show exhibitor),remains hopeful: “The food movement in Philadelphia has come a long way, and I’ve found more support for local, urbanfarmers lately. Perhaps someday soon, inner-city chickens and their tasty, affordable eggs can find a home here, too.”
