The citizens and civic clubs of McIntosh reach out to others all year through, but at
Christmas, McIntosh really “puts the star on the tree”.
Besides the many Advent services, the Christmas Cantata presented by the
Community Choir and Christmas Eve Church services to give thanks for God’s greatest
gift, McIntosh is busy doing and giving to others.
Light Up McIntosh Christmas Party is a community supported event. The
Seedlings Garden Club decorates the Civic Center for Christmas and provides
hundreds of cookies and gallons of punch to help make the evening festive.
The Friends of McIntosh sponsors the Light Up McIntosh Contest where residents and
businesses compete for cash prizes for best decorations.
The McIntosh Lions Club makes certain Santa arrives safely with his bag full of candy.
That jolly ole elf offers his knee, ear and heart to every boy and girl (young and young-
at-heart) and listens to secret requests. Grinning, giggling parents are right there with
camera for that special moment with Santa.

McIntosh Area Charter School A Brief History
About 80 years ago, the school in McIntosh stood at the south end of town on the west side of US-441. It was a stately building
designed to educate twelve grades of local youngsters. But by the 1930s the older students went to school in Reddick. Children in grades 1-6 and two teachers occupied the cavernous building.
Times were hard. The United States was in a depression and McIntosh, a charming Victorian town that relied on agriculture and the needs of those in agriculture was also in a slump. The wealthy northern markets that had hungrily demanded produce from McIntosh for decades declined.
McIntosh School also felt the pinch. By 1944, when the US was deep in war, the school principal Mrs. Ada Wingate, noted that some of the children were thin and showing signs of vitamin deficiency and malnutrition. Many children had little to eat for lunch. The first fix was for all children to bring something from home to put in the soup pot that provided a hot lunch for everyone. At times, though, some children didn’t even have a carrot or potato to share. That’s when Mrs. Wingate got the idea of a garden.
The heroic efforts of McIntosh School’s garden are published in the 1944 book, A Community School of Social Action. By that time, Mrs. Wingate had become principal and gardening was a part of the school’s daily efforts. Here is an account from A Community School of Social Action, page 28.
“The Garden came about as a natural outgrowth of the efforts of meet nutritional needs. At first the children brought vegetables from home to make hot soup. Sometimes, however, they forgot their vegetables. The resulting dissatisfaction led them ask, “Why can’t we grow the vegetables here at school? Why can’t we have a school garden?”
Then…
The Seedling Page 11 2018
The school grounds were large – seven and one-half acres of fertile soil. There was ample ground for play and for a garden. Mr. Dedman, a successful farmer living near the school, offered to prepare the soil for planting and to advise with the teacher and the pupils as the need arose. The perfect combination of circumstances had arrived. The garden became a reality. . . . The Works Projects Administration (WPA) provided a gardener who cultivated a two-acre plot that furnished fresh vegetables for the lunchroom and a surplus for canning and for needy families.”
In July 1942 all help from the WPA was discontinued. Mrs. Wingate arranged for the County Demonstration Agent and the County Agent to discuss the possibility of
having the 4-H Club to take over the garden. Children who did not have garden plots at home were urged to plant plots at school and take the produce home. Four local patrons offered support and prepared the ground for gardening. The garden was securely a part of the school. Students gardened, weeded, battled pests, harvested the produce, canned it, and prepared it for lunch.
By publication time of A School of Social Action, in 1944 there were “fifteen bushels of Irish potatoes, hundreds of cans of English peas, carrots, greens, and beets – all from this year’s garden. Growing in the garden are sweet potatoes – set out with the help of the County Agent – corn, tomatoes, pole beans, onions, and broccoli. Peas and okra will be planted for summer harvesting. As all of these vegetables ripen, they will be canned in the school’s canning center.”
Today, the new school in McIntosh stands at the south end of town on the west side of US-441, just where the old school was. Children in grades K-5 and six teachers occupied the four colorful portable buildings. But gardening is not forgotten. Teachers, notably fourth grade teacher Mss. Belinda Hensley, work gardening into the science curriculum. This year, thanks to the Seedlings Garden Club a new way of gardening stands proudly at the entrance to the school. It’s a vertical garden that grows seasonal crops in a self-contained tower that encourages water conservation and even uses earthworms to improve the soil. Students at all levels will have the joy of growing food and flowers in the 2017-18 school year.

Seedlings Garden Club members do not
just stay home working in their beautiful
gardens, they wander far and wide
seeking knowledge and adventure! The
club's latest adventure was a combined
visit to a former rice plantation (Hofwyl-
Broadfield Plantation) and Sapelo Island-
the 4th largest barrier island off the coast
of Georgia. Both sites are now owned
and operated by the state of Georgia.
Only 3 hours from McIntosh, Florida (a
few miles north of Brunswick, Georgia) is
the beautiful Hofwyl-Broadfield
Plantation. Before the Civil War, it was a
profitable rice plantation cared for by
nearly 400 slaves. Once freed, many of
the former slaves remained to work
alongside their former owners. In the
1950's coastal rice became unprofitable
to raise. At that time, the 5th generation
plantation owners were two unmarried
sisters. With no profit generated from
rice, the sisters started a dairy operation,
which continued until their later years.
At the death of the last sister in 1973, the
plantation was bequeathed to the state
of Georgia. Today, this Georgia State
Historic Site has a museum with
dioramas about plantation life, a film and
a guided tour of the home.
About 10 miles north of the plantation is
Darien, Georgia, the "jumping off" spot
for Sapelo Island. A 20-minute ferry ride
and guided tour will take you throughout
the island, stopping at the most
fascinating places. For information about
tours and ferry schedules, call 912-437-
3224.
Where Past Meets Present
By Janelle Sherouse and Nancy Griffin
Today most of Sapelo Island is owned by
the state of Georgia. It has a well-
endowed Marine Science Institute
operated by the University of Georgia.
The institute offers research
opportunities for visiting scientists,
university students and classes for high
schoolers.
After the Civil War Sapelo Island was set
aside for former slaves, called Gullah-
Geechees, named for their African ethnic
origins. Originally, there were several
communities of former slaves. Today
there is only one dwindling community,
known as Hog Hammock. Wealthy
businessmen purchased a small portion
of Sapelo Island. A tabby house was built
by the first of the five wealthy owners,
then improved upon and rebuilt by each
succeeding owner. The fifth and final
owner, R.J. Reynolds tobacco magnet,
established the house as the Reynolds
Mansion with 13 bedrooms, 11 baths,
marble sculptures, Italian murals, a
library, ballroom and an elegant fountain
in the middle of a swimming pool.
Reynolds, as well as preceding owners,
was the main employer of the Gullah
people living on the island. Today, the
State of Georgia leases the mansion for
paying parties of 16-29 people for
weddings and special events.
Our tour ended with a climb up an 1820's
restored lighthouse. It was a final view of
the diversity of ecosystems offered by
one of the pristine barrier island along
the Atlantic Ocean.

Rooting Tips by Linda Gail McCollum
My favorite plants to root are Hydrangeas, Antique Roses, Lavender, Rosemary, Coleus, and Geraniums.
You may find that the best time to root plants is during the summer rainy season, particularly for roses. Materials needed:
Small pots. Light absorbent soil. Rooting compound Water source Small knife
To begin, prepare small pots with soil.
**It is always advisable to use a rooting compound such as Garden Safe TakeRoot
Rooting Hormone, Dip 'N Grow Rooting Concentrate, or Miracle Grow Fast Root.
For WOODY STEMS, like HYDRANGEAS and ROSES, scrape a small portion of the stem from a nodule or segment line then dip that portion into a rooting compound. Plants like lavender, rosemary and coleus that have tender stems do not require this step.
Shake off excess rooting compound.
Using a pencil or small stick make a hole in the damp soil. This step ensures that the rooting compound will not be scraped off when the stem is inserted into the soil.
Place the potted cuttings in a lightly shaded area where they will get morning sun.
After taking the cutting you should allow the stem to dry for a day or two to avoid rot. Also, be more careful of watering both during the rooting period and once the plant is established.
I have also had modest success with air layering. I must say, however, if you want a nice camellia plant, you are better off buying from a nursery. You can also root azaleas by either air layering or pulling the low-lying limbs down to the ground and placing a brick on top of the limb. Roots will form after some months and you just cut the stem above the rooted area and pot or transplant the new plant.

UF’s History and Restoration of Wilmot Camelia Gardens Garden Club Speaker, Dr. Craig Tisher, UF Emeritus Dean, College of Medicine
1946 - Royal James “Roy” Wilmot, a UF
horticulturalist and national authority on
camellias, serves as a founding member of the
American Camellia Society, which is
established on the campus of the University of
Florida.
1950 - Wilmot died and friends and colleagues
from the United States and abroad donate 300
rare varieties of camellias in his honor to
create Wilmot Gardens at the University of Florida.
2006 - After devastation from decades of neglect and a serious southern pine beetle
infestation, a small group of volunteers led by C. Craig Tisher, M.D., then dean of the College
of Medicine, and Linda and Bill Luecking initiate efforts to restore the gardens rather than
allow the area to be replaced by another building within the growing academic health
science center.
2007 - A former office space and laboratory is remodeled to create the Conference Center at
Wilmot Gardens.
2011 - The Wilmot Gardens Consortium is established at the University of Florida, at which
time the mission of Wilmot Gardens is expanded to include patient care, research and
education.
2012 - The Therapeutic Horticulture Program at Wilmot Gardens is launched in greenhouse
space provided by the Department of Environmental Horticulture.
2013 - Construction on the Greenhouse at Wilmot Gardens begins thanks to generous gifts
from multiple donors.
2014 - Construction of the Greenhouse at Wilmot Gardens is completed, and the
therapeutic horticulture program relocates to the facility and expands.
2015 - The Japanese Maple Tree Garden, which features a collection of more than 30 rare
Japanese maple trees, is created, courtesy of a donation from Dr. and Mrs. Johannes
Vieweg.
2016 - Construction of the Chapman Healing Garden is underway, which, when completed,
will provide a new outdoor venue for additional therapeutic horticulture activities.
Wilmot Gardens is located in the heart of the Southeast’s largest academic health
center, providing a peaceful and verdant respite. In addition, the gardens are dedicated
to advancing patient care, research and service through its vibrant and growing
therapeutic horticulture program. Open to the public.
The Seedling Page 17 2018
UF’s Wilmot Gardens
Therapeutic Horticulture for Cancer, Dialysis, Psychiatric and Other Patients
Garden Club Speaker, Elizabeth “Leah” Diehl, RL, HTM
The mission of the Therapeutic Horticulture Program at Wilmot Gardens is to improve lives
through engaging with horticulture. The program is situated at the nexus of the gardens’
commitment to patient care, education, and research, drawing on key partnerships with
UF’s Department of Environmental Horticulture in the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences, the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and UF Health, which
includes the Southeast’s largest and most comprehensive academic health center.
Since its inception, the program has served a variety of vulnerable populations with special
needs including veterans with spinal cord injury/disease and mental illness, stroke patients,
cancer survivors, patients with end stage renal disease, individuals with movement
disorders, and young adults with autism. Caregivers of these groups are also included. In
addition to educating these individuals about various horticultural techniques, the program
promotes several therapeutic benefits, including socialization, intellectual and sensory
stimulation, respite and relaxation, stress reduction, increased confidence, improvement in
coping skills and restoration from mental fatigue.
The therapeutic horticulture program represents one of the nation’s leading examples of a
model demonstration facility, where programming and research are both conducted on
site to explore the efficacy and breadth of therapeutic horticulture. Data is collected on
many of the program groups through a variety of measurement tools. Wilmot Gardens will
continue to contribute to and shape the field of therapeutic horticulture through rigorous,
multidisciplinary research efforts.
These efforts are important because, to date, much of the evidence in support of the
benefits of therapeutic horticulture is merely anecdotal. By conducting rigorous research,
Wilmot Gardens can contribute to the growing body of evidence that gardening has
measurable and positive impacts on individuals’ stress levels, sense of well being and self
efficacy, among other benefits, which in turn, influence health status and quality of life. It is
hoped that evidence-based research will encourage health insurance companies to cover
such activities as part of a person’s therapy regimen, like medication, counseling or physical
therapy.

Van Ness Park Revitalized
he appearance of Van Ness Park has changed in many ways over the last 100
years. The oak trees are larger; the slides are made of new tech materials, but
there is one recent addition that harkens to the past --a 26 ft. gazebo.
T
area or musicians might grace the gazebo
as residents relaxed under the oak trees.
The Victorian structure would also make a
beautiful backdrop for wedding,
graduation and special photographs. The
gazebo can be rented for weddings too.
At night, the gazebo is lit and worth a visit.
Reclaimed Chicago bricks were used for
the gazebo’s floor. The Garden Club
bought bricks to create a recognition
patio.
Anyone interested in purchasing a
recognition brick see page 28 for more
information or visit their website at
McIntoshSeedlings.com.
So whether you’re interested in staying in
shape or just relaxing and meditating, the
recent additions to the park will suit all
ages.
In the 1800s, McIntosh residents would
often gather in the park for an ice cream
social or a fish fry, The Ocala Evening Star
reported. Now, thanks to two Florida
Recreation Development Assistance
grants, residents will be able to enjoy the
new gazebo, playground equipment, and
multi-purpose tennis court. The two
grants, totaling $100,000, allowed the
town to add a new play area that includes
slides, monkey bars and riders. The tennis
court received a face lift with a new
concrete court, net and lighting. The net
can be raised or lowered so residents can
play the latest rage—pickle ball. In
addition, a basketball hoop was added
and now it is common to see a large group of the community’s youth playing
basketball.
In the near future, the town hopes to host
socials utilizing the gazebo. During the
planning stages, the idea was that civic
groups could use the gazebo as a staging

FROM SEA TO SAND:
A BRIEF NATURAL HISTORY OF FLORIDA
Speaker, Dana Griffin, III
Professor, Emeritus at, Department of Biology, University of Florida.
At its simpliest, there could be said to exist two Floridas, one, the peninsula
and the southernmost portions of the panhandle and, the other, the upper panhandle,
that which abuts against Georgia and Alabama. They differ most significantly in their
geological past. The peninsula has been totally submerged beneath the ocean several
times. The upper panhandle has persisted as emergent land for at least several
millions of years and has remained attached to the North American continent. The
natural history of these two Floridas reflects this
difference. In Florida's panhandle we find northern plants
(columbine and bloodroot are examples) that migrated
south with the advance of the glaciers. These north
temperate species established populations in the Florida
panhandle and although the glaciers have long since
retreated, these "displaced" northerners have
remained. By contrast, the southern portion of the
Florida peninsula hosts a variety of frost intolerant
tropical species that, barring a dramatic
warming of the climate, should remain more or
less where they are. In the arid uplands known
as sandhills we find quite a few species with
connections to western North America. Prairie
clover, lupine and ratany, among others, exist
alongside gopher tortoises, indigo snakes and
scrub jays, animals that show strong connections
to the western past of the continent. Lastly, there are
quite a few species that apparantly evolved right here in Florida.
The Lake Wales Ridge ,the earliest peninsular land to be
"liberated" from the sea, is home to quite a few of these endemics.

Bloodroot
Lupine
Prairie Clover

Little Known Facts About Cockroaches
Alberto Broce, Current McIntosh Resident and Garden Club Supporter
Professor of Entomology, Retired
Kansas State University
• There are about 4,500 species of cockroaches in the world; 69 different cockroach
species are found in the United States.
• Cockroaches most commonly found in and around Florida homes are: Florida
woods cockroach, American cockroach, Smokey Brown cockroach, Brown banded
cockroach, Australian cockroach, German cockroach, and the Asian cockroach.
• Earliest cockroach-like fossils ( blattopterans or roachids) are from the
Carboniferous period, 320 million years ago. The insect we know and hate today
has changed very little since the Carboniferous period. They have survived many
extinction events, such as the end of dinosaurs with very little difficulty.
• Cockroaches moved into human habitats when humans lived in caves. They have
been sharing our homes and food ever since then.
• Cockroaches can run faster than any other insect.
• Texas is the cockroach capital of the United States. It is home to 32 different
species.
• To kill a roach do not decapitate it. The headless body can live for several weeks,
and the disembodied head for several days.
• Cockroaches spend more than 50% of their time cleaning themselves.
• In a study, cockroaches were exposed to 1000, 10,000, or 100,000 radon units of
cobalt 60. It is important to know that 1000 radon units are capable of killing a
person in 10 minutes. After 30 days, half of the radiated cockroaches exposed to
1000 rads were still alive, and 10 percent of the 10,000 rad group was alive. The
bomb on Hiroshima emitted radioactive gamma rays at a strength of around
10,000 rads. These results confirm that cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion,
but only to a point. None in the 100,000 rad group survived. The above study was
done by MythBusters of the Discovery Channel.
• Catnip and chrysanthemum plants repel roaches. Frogs, toads, centipedes, ants,
scorpions, beetles, geckos, and iguanas are natural predators of cockroaches.

In my humble opinion, Terry Ashley Botanicals is one of the most beautiful
and unusual art/florals presented to the Seedlings Garden Club this year.
Joyce Crawford, Editor
Terry Ashley is a self-taught artist with a scientific background. Her
tools are not brushes and paint, but camera and microscope. This
is her story.
I well remember the first time I saw Indian Pipe - a delicate non-green
plant that looks like it is carved from wax. My mother sent me to a
wild flower book to find out for myself why it was non-green and how
it compensated for not manufacturing its own food through the
production of chlorophyll.
This encounter launched a dilemma that continued for years. Was my
main interest SCIENCE or ART?
Opportunity led me into science as a first career. I received my BA in
Botany from Duke University, where my favorite course was Plant
Anatomy, the study of plant structure under the microscope.
After receiving my PhD from Florida State in Genetics, I indulged my
curiosity and pursued my search for beauty and order by studying
meiotic chromosome behavior under the microscope.
During the last 19 years of that career, I was a Research Scientist at
Yale University School of Medicine. Throughout my career, I
photographed plant parts under the light microscope. (These
photographs are called micrographs.) I participated in a number of
Nikon "Small World" competitions (an International competition for
micrographs), and received several awards.
While searching for a way to combine a micro image with a more
recognizable view of the plant subjects, I attended a presentation by
Andre Gallant, a Canadian photographer. He was creating "slide
The Seedling Page 41 2018
While searching for a way to
combine a micro image with a
more recognizable view of the
plant subjects, I attended a
presentation by Andre Gallant, a
Canadian photographer. He was
creating "slide sandwiches" that
consisted of a "subject" slide and
a "texture" slide.
It was an "Ah ha" moment for me
when I realized that here was a
way of combining the two types
of images and led to the creation
of what I call "Botanical Chords."
For more about how these are made see "What are Botanical Chords?"
As a scientist I always considered microscopy an under-recognized art
form. Now that I am retired my mission as an artist is to raise awareness
for and appreciation of the beauty that lies just below the level of
resolution of our own eyesight.
The black and white photo does not do
Terry’s art justice. This is a must visit
website.
Terry Ashley was a speaker at one of the
Garden Club’s programs.
