Rockledge's Simmons sought constant improvement

It also boosted her toward her eventual repeat as FLORIDA TODAY Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year. Also in Bradenton, Simmons ran a 24.28 to finish as the Class 2A runner-up in the 200. Her 4x100 relay squad got faster and faster all year, also finishing second at the state meet with a time of 47.18. Her final state medal came in the triple jump (36-4 1/4), long enough for fourth. "I wanted to be able to make the most of what I could achieve," she said. "I definitely thought I did everything I set out to do." While her 20-foot long jump was the one that brought home the gold medal and particularly turned the heads of college coaches, Simmons was most pleased with her sprinting. In part aided by a significant amount of 400-meter work during the year, she set a personal best in the 200 early in the season and established a new Rockledge High record at the end, 23.7 seconds. "Going into my senior year, my focus was really long jump," she said, but her eventual 23.7 beat the previous Raiders best by a half a second. "It just completely shocked me." She assured that college scholarship, too. In a month, Simmons will head to Oxford, Miss., and the University of Mississippi. Contact McCallum at 321-242-3698 or bmccallum@floridatoday.com.

Find one-of-a-kind plants, trees at Edison Ford Garden Fest

Everglades Nursery, run by nurseryman James Hendry. The Edisons also made many trips to Reasoner Brothers in Bradenton – a long trip in the early 1900s – to trade plants with other gardeners and reportedly purchased one of everything. The Forest Bell Creeper or New Guinea Trumpet Vine was the 2016 Edison birthday plant winner. (Photo: Special to The News-Press) Today, thanks to the local plant growers that travel across Florida selling their specimens at plant festivals, we have access to many of the plants that would have been considered rare when Edison was here. The vendors that will be at the festival grow plants that thrive in Southwest Florida and enjoy helping customers find unusual plants that they can show off in their gardens. Some plants you might expect to see at the Garden Festival include Tillandsias (air plants) in every shape and form and terrariums; succulents that are drought tolerant, easy to care for and do fantastic in pots; and the Tecomanthedendrophila or Forest Bell Creeper Vine, which was selected as the 2016 Edison Birthday Plant competition winner for its attention-grabbing, long, drooping, pink trumpet flowers (it’s planted on a large trellis near the Edison Seminole Lodge). THE NEWS-PRESS Inventing Your Garden: Growing roses in a Southern garden If you are thinking of starting an edible garden, you might want to try one of the different varieties of avocado, mango or other fruit trees. This is also a fantastic time of the year to start growing herbs and vegetables and there will be plenty available for sale. Plants can also brighten up your indoor space. If you live in a condo or need a plant for the office, there will be many African violets and orchids to select from. Palms, Heliconias, Gingers and Bromelaids are excellent choices for giving your yard a tropical look. There will also be plenty of vendors with the ever-popular butterfly, bird and native plants for our nature-loving gardening friends. img itemprop="url" src="http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/d6e4ed1eacf5dc24e83b70822abf1121fd25ab1e/c=3-0-2046-1536&r=x408&c=540x405/local/-/media/2016/10/27/FortMyers/FortMyers/636131868400573771-passion-flower.jpg" alt="Butterf...
