Sep 7, 2020A Garden Designed to Run Wild - The New York Times
Great Dixter in East Sussex, England, an ongoing source of inspiration for her, almost a decade ago. The historic estate consists of a mid-15th-century timber-framed manor house that, in the early 20th century, the architect Edwin Lutyens, acting on commission from the house’s owner, Nathaniel Lloyd, combined with a 16th-century yeoman’s hall; Lutyens also laid out a six-acre garden. In 1954, Lloyd’s son Christopher, who had always loved working in the property’s garden with his mother, Daisy Lloyd, and who had recently been working as a lecturer in horticulture in Kent, returned to the family home to open a plant nursery on the grounds, which are now preserved by a trust. Working from Great Dixter until his death in 2006, Christopher became one of Britain’s most pre-eminent gardeners and garden writers — he completed 25 books and had a longstanding weekly column in Country Life magazine. He was known for his willingness to deviate from tradition, once telling the horticultural writer Rosemary Verey, “a garden is a garden [and] whether it looks English or not, I wouldn’t care.”A view through the meadow to the farm cottage Kent shares with her husband and three young sons.Credit...David FernandezA timeworn fence, left by one of the property’s previous occupants, marks the entrance to the meadow.Credit...David FernandezGreenery encroaches on the garden steps, in the cracks of which daisies and other meadow plants have sprouted.Credit...David FernandezUpon moving into the cottage, the couple received this flowering geranium as a gift from a family friend.Credit...David Fernandez“Upon entering the property, you see stately York sandstone flags and an ancient gate,” says Kent.

May 1, 2020Coronavirus lockdown: Can florists stay open? - The Argus
Hove City Council was contacted for comment, but a spokesman suggested enforcing a ban “might be a police matter”.
But a spokeswoman for Sussex Police said: “The local authority environmental health and trading standards officers are responsible for enforcing the regulations requiring businesses to close.”
go.botanica in Hove Station say they are abiding by the rules
The authorities have been scrambling to get to grips with the lockdown rules since they came into force last month.
The Government has said only essential businesses are allowed to remain open.
All retailers have been told to close to prevent the spread of the disease, and only market stalls selling essentials such as groceries and food can continue trading. There is no special provision for flower sellers.
A florist at go.botanica at Hove station said her shop had needed to open to arrange large deliveries of flowers for funerals.
And a florist at The Flower Stand in Palmeira Square said he was also selling fruit and vegetables.
They therefore said they are abiding by the rules.
At The Argus, we are championing the work of traders during the coronavirus pandemic as part of our #BackingSussexBusiness campaign. We are always interested to hear how the community is coming together in this crisis. If you know of a local business battling to do all it can in these tough times and/or offering support to the local community, please get in touch at laurie.churchman@theargus.co.uk and rose.lock@theargus.co.uk.
Feb 1, 2020Flowers for Drew: Remembering the life of an editor, writer and friend - Delaware State News - Delaware State News
Lewes. It was there that Drew really started to shine, putting his knowledge and appreciation of the area into play.
He appreciated the Sussex County landscape as much as its unique culture.
Perhaps that made it easy for him to interview Dover International Speedway builder Melvin Joseph — a man who, despite having only a sixth-grade education, started his Georgetown construction business with just a dump truck and a shovel.
Drew Ostroski
“They had Sussex connections, they had common ground,” said Mr. Nardone. “You can’t write about someone unless you get to know them in some way. Drew always found common ground and found a way to relate to people.
“He did that with Roy Klein, the ‘Duke of Kent.’ I think he appreciated what those people accomplished.”
Drew spotted quirky stuff and found ways to work it into his stories.
There was the story he did on mosquito control. “They had a young guy run across the marsh and then they would count the bites,” he remembered.
In 1999, he did an amazing piece on “The Dual” – what Delaware old-timers used to call U.S. 13. It was then that he met James E. Clark, the proprietor of a service station in Dover.
We found it odd that it remained opened, yet no longer had gas pumps thanks to an environmental regulation. His headline — “Running on fumes” — came naturally.
“Clarkie” was still offering service to locals, though. He would check oil and inflate tires, and sometimes he would drive his old customers to a nearby station to fill up their tanks because that’s what he always did for them.
After meeting him, Drew tucked away another idea after learning Clarkie had survived the Indian River Inlet bridge collapse in 1948. The man plunged into the icy waters and managed to swim to a bulkhead where he reached out for a tire that saved his life.
The lede of the story:
“James E. “Clarkie” Clark curls his left pinky finger toward his hand.“
“More than 50 years ago, it was the strength of that little finger that stood between life and death.“
Drew’s newspaper career took him from the Delaware State News to Delaware Today in the 1990s and then back to our newspaper. In 2005, he returned to the magazine so he could spend more quality time with his family and less time on the road and less time attached to a daily newspaper nights and weekends.
Craig Horleman, our features editor, was alongside Drew for much of his career, dating back to work at The Review at the University of Delaware. They reunited at The Daily Whale and spent many evenings playing trivia and talking shop at Grotto’s Grand Slam.
“We’d talk about the day’s events and discuss how we could make the paper better and brainstorm story ideas,” Craig said. “This turns out to be pretty common among us newspaper folks. We can never seem to turn it off.
“He had his nervous moments like any of us do from time to time but it was out of an abundance of care to get the job done. He knew when to make things light and knew when to take things seriously and that mix real...

Oct 10, 2019Kemptown Secret Garden – Brighton, England - Atlas Obscura
The Kemptown Secret Garden started life as No.32 Sussex Square. It was the residence of Lawrence Peel, brother of Prime Minister Robert Peel, in 1840. Now, however, the plot of land is home to a quaint sculpture garden hidden in the center of Brighton.
The garden is also known as the Anthony Dale Sculpture Foundation. The foundation was started by Yvonne Dale, wife of then-garden owner Anthony. After Anthony died, Yvonne opened the garden so it could serve the community and promote the craft of sculpture.
Within the tiny garden, you can find beautiful flowers and wildlife that complement the sculptures. These, combined with the sound of water, make you feel as though you’re a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city just outside.
