MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY: Georgia gardens growing family destinations
By Dallas Duncan
Springtime in Georgia means families are deciding where to visit for weekend trips but for those looking for affordable, nearby gems, a garden might be the answer.
"People want a lot of bang for their buck these days. You don't get a better bang for your buck than a free garden," said Catherine Hansen, garden shop manager at Hamilton Gardens in Hiawassee, Ga. "Botanical gardens are indeed the No. 1 tourism draw in the United States."
Georgia's gardens some of which do charge an admission fee are home to popular collections of azaleas, irises, orchids, native plants, exotic flora and, in the case of Hamilton Gardens, rhododendrons.
Hamilton Gardens was started in 1980 to celebrate founder Fred Hamilton's love of rhododendrons, curator Paul Hansen said. It opened several years later to the public.
"We're trying to capture some of those folks that stop in Helen come another 20 minutes up the hill to our lake and garden and come visit," Paul Hansen said. "We're trying to make the garden a destination for our region."
Gardens can be display only or, in the case of botanical gardens, have a research and education mission, he said. Research at Hamilton Gardens includes unusual types of rhododendrons and using technology to make their labels interactive. The gardens also host college and grade-school science classes.
"You come here to smell pretty flowers and enjoy a concert and check out a holiday light show, but behind the scenes there's a whole background of people," said Danny Flanders, public relations manager for Atlanta Botanical Garden. "Conservation is really big with us. A lot of people don't realize it's not just plant conservation, but amphibian conservation. With amphibians, it's frogs and salamanders because so many frogs are disappearing because of viruses and loss of habitat."

Renowned animal scientist makes her way to Georgia

Hundreds of cattle producers traveled to Perry, Ga., in early April for the chance to meet a woman who revolutionized the industry: Temple Grandin.
Grandin, an animal sciences professor at Colorado State University, was the keynote speaker at this year's Georgia Cattlemen's Association Convention. Grandin overcame challenges presented by autism to become one of the world's most well-known experts in livestock handling. Half the cattle in the US and Canada are handled in facilities she designed, former GCA President David Gazda said.
"With her unique way of thinking, being autistic, she really broke through with new ideas on how cattle think and move, and how we can do a better job of handling them all the way from birth to slaughter," said Josh White, executive vice president of Georgia Cattlemen's Association and Georgia Beef Board. "She brings such great insight and knowledge to how we handle our cattle and facilities design, and just how we can do a better job of keeping cattle happy and healthy and producing a great beef product for consumers."

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Coggins Produce

Platinum member to promote state agriculture industry through program

By Erica Lummus, spring intern
Coggins Produce grows, packs and ships fresh produce from south Georgia's sandy soils. The business produces an assortment of produce including carrots, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, green beans, edamame, blueberries, blackberries and numerous row crops as well.
Coggins Produce is extremely proud to be a Georgia produce company and looks forward to marketing as such and informing the community of the variety of produce that they offer.
"It is important to the company that people know what kind of crops we grow and the region we grow them in," said Jamie Brannen, assistant general manager of Coggins Produce.
Coggins Produce is a platinum member with Georgia Grown and is excited that the company will have the chance to promote and help grow the

Georgia Grown program as well as gain a mutually rewarding relationship. "Our business looks forward to working to support and promote the
Georgia Grown program. I, personally, have been a member with previous companies and understand the importance of having an agriculture
department that helps to support and promote the produce. We plan to participate in Georgia Grown food shows, promote the Georgia pavilion at [Produce Marketing Association], and use sales techniques to let everyone know how important it is to buy locally," Brannen said. The company hopes to help others understand how very important Georgia's agriculture industry is to the state's success. What many people do not know, Brannen said, is how imperative the agriculture industry is to the state financially: the industry provides and creates many jobs, which bring in much needed revenue to provide resources vital to keep the industry thriving.

ARTY'S GARDEN:
Walk like an Egyptian ... onion

agriCULTURE

Whenever I hear the Bangles sing "Walk Like an Egyptian," I think of `80s fashions as well as the highly stylized paintings adorning the tombs of the pharaohs. And I think of onions: Egyptian walking onions.
Egyptian walking onions (Allium cepa var. proliferum) are a type of multiplying onion that forms small bulbs called bulblets on top of their stalks where you expect to find a cluster of flowers. The bulblets may even have small stalks of their own, giving the plants an interesting Medusa-like appearance. Sometimes they will also have a few flowers, too.
As these bulblets grow and as the stalk holding them ages and withers, the bulblets weigh down the stalk and take root where they touch the ground. In a sense, they "walk" across the garden.
T. Greiner wrote of Egyptian walking onions in The New Onion Culture back in 1904 that the "quality is inferior, but the bulbs may be readily sold when better varieties are wanting" and that "if planted deep in rich, loose soil, the stalk blanches in the manner of leeks ... and makes a green onion of fairly good quality."
The bulbs can be eaten fresh as spring onions or cooked; the tops can be used as scallions and the bulblets can be pickled. Though raw Egyptian walking onions can be strong and hot, sauting or other cooking methods will reduce or moderate their heat.
However, in all my years of growing these onions, I

have only eaten them twice. I don't fear or dislike them, I just think of them as ornamentals rather than vegetables. In fact, I have them growing with daylilies and daffodils and in pots along with dianthus and violas. Their leaves are a sturdy blue-green all winter, and the stalks in spring are interesting, attractive and a conversation starter.
Egyptian walking onions will withstand a wide range of growing conditions and are almost as durable as the pyramids. Even the ones growing in pots did not suffer any cold damage this winter.
Not many commercial sources sell Egyptian walking onions. They are usually passed along from gardener to gardener. You may see them offered in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. Subscribers can place a free advertisement to see if readers have any to sell or share. One last thing though "walking" in the name is easily explained, "Egyptian" is not. No one is sure where these onions originated, although I like to think they are truly connected with the mystic land of the Nile. Arty Schronce is the Department's resident garden-
ing expert. He is a lifelong gardener and a horticulture

Georgia Grown Test Kitchen initiative announced

Courtesy Department Press Office

Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black recently announced a new state initiative aimed at increasing awareness about the importance of proper nutrition and healthy eating. The Georgia Grown Test Kitchen program will promote local and healthy eating in schools across the state by supplying school nutrition directors with healthy recipes using Georgia-grown commodities.
The Georgia Grown Test Kitchen program, along with the Feed My School for a Week program, will help bridge the gap in the nutritional value and quality of food served in Georgia schools, while simultaneously providing more farm-to-cafeteria opportunities. The end result will be healthier Georgia students, decreased barriers in farm-to-school efforts and increased awareness as students learn and experience, both educationally and nutritionally, where their food comes from.
"Through programs such as the Georgia Grown Test Kitchen and Feed My School for a Week, we are influencing the buying habits of nutritional directors across the state," Black said. "We are showing the ease that comes with purchasing local products for school systems, while improving the nutritional value for students."
Ten schools across the state will be selected to taste-test recipes using Georgia-grown commodities. These recipes will contain information on how to source the product, nutritional information and the students' opinions on the

recipes. The selected schools will also participate in other Georgia Grown activities throughout the year.
Applications will be due on May 9, 2014. Interested school nutrition directors will submit information on farm-to-school activities they already participate in; which Georgia-grown commodities are incorporated into existing menus; grocery, produce and dairy vendors; and why the school is an appropriate site for a Georgia Grown Test Kitchen.
To nominate a school for the program, please have your
nutritional director contact Misty Friedman, the Depart-
ment's nutritional outreach coordinator, at misty.fried-
man@agr.georgia.gov. Applications are available online
at agr.georgia.gov/test-kitchen-application.aspx.

Letter from the editor
I'm writing this on April 8. Aside from being the Braves home opener and the kickoff of Masters Week in Augusta, today's got a special place in my heart. It is the annual Agricultural Awareness Day at Tate, which has been held every spring at the University of Georgia since 2008.
Ag Awareness Day is hosted by the UGA chapter of Sigma Alpha Professional Agricultural Sorority. Different agriculture and environmental student associations gather with commodity groups and a student-run petting zoo to share facts about Georgia and American agriculture. Though it's grown and changed during the past six years, its message remains the same: it's our job to educate the general public about what we do.
UGA Sigma Alpha is not the only group to host ag awareness and ag safety days. A number of different farm groups, colleges (shout-out to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, which started a similar event and I continue to hear amazing things about it!) and even individual farms take on the mission of ag-vocating.
That's right: ag-vocating. Agvocacy might be a little bit of a made-up word, but in the world of agricultural journalism, it's a big buzzword. It means advocating for agriculture, and it's a practice we need to both perform and preach.
Why? People who don't work in agriculture, or who don't have an agricultural background, have no idea what agriculture is. Many have some preconceived notion about some part of agriculture or another and get their education from activist sites or blogs online. Most personal blogs, for those unfamiliar with the term, are like Internet diaries where people share their thoughts with subscribers and the general public. That's right. A large portion of consumers are getting their farm knowledge not from farmers, but from online diaries. Let that one sink in for a moment. Sigma Alpha, in fact, started its Ag Awareness Day at Tate in response to a survey that claimed students in one class found the most "worthless major" at UGA to be agriculture. I was there when it happened. I was so incensed after learning about this survey that I wrote a Facebook post about it: "If there were no agricultural related majors ... humanity as we know it would most likely not be around. Meat, dairy, poultry, food, and animal science majors take classes that will teach them how to properly raise, care for, produce, and create the food that nourishes our bodies. Without these majors, those of us who are not vegetarian would possibly have contaminated meat at every meal, or the United States would have all sorts of diseases running rampant in its animal populations. As for turfgrass management, where do people think golf courses come from? No, sadly, Tiger Woods' stomping ground did not just appear out of the Earth. Someone had to come up with it." All I thought about while writing that post was how on Earth anyone could think of agriculture as worthless, either as a college major or as an industry. It befuddles me to this day. This survey was the reason I decided to approach my time at The Red & Black, and every publication thereafter, with the idea of being an agvocate for all facets of agriculture. I would call myself crazy (Have you tried finding a job in the mainstream media wanting to write about farming? Y'all, it is HARD), but after hearing renowned animal scientist Temple Grandin speak on the subject last week, I know it's a very worthwhile craziness. Because if we don't step up and start talking, who's going to start talking behind our backs?

GARDEN: Research, education and fun
part of modern floral experience
From Page 1
Take a look at the Bulletin Blog to see what Georgia gardens are in your area.
In addition to observing frog feedings on some Saturdays, adventure is part of the experience in Atlanta: visitors traverse a 40-foot high, 300-foot long canopy walk, snaking their way through the woods.
"[The garden] was started right around 1976 by a group of dedicated volunteers who saw the need for a botanical garden here in Atlanta," Flanders said. "We're just sort of a hidden gem right here in Midtown."
Down in Savannah, the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens at the Historic Bamboo Garden pays homage to its research history and future as an educational display garden.
The gardens their start in the late 1800s as clumps of bamboo. The bamboo flourished and plant explorer David Fairchild became enamored with it. He turned the bamboo gardens into a plant introduction station for the US Department of Agriculture, and the rest is history.
"We're kind of evolving now from the farm," Director Norman Winter said. "All of our dominoes are getting aligned for this to really turn into a premiere botanical garden."
Future plans include highlighting the garden's camellia collection, a museum, a bamboo maze and a replica of the Trustees Garden that used to be in downtown Savannah.
The future of their garden is always on the mind of staff at the State Botanical Garden in Athens, Ga. Plans are in the works for a children's garden, with construction to begin later this year, an addition that will complement the 313 acres of developed gardens and walking trails.
"Nowadays all kids, they come out of the womb almost with an iPhone in their hand," said Patricia Collins, director of gardens for Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga. "I fear that a lot of folks are not getting out and getting outdoors. I think it's important that there's an appreciation and an acknowledgement of the natural world."
Aside from enjoying the outdoors, many gardens offer summer concerts on the lawn, art classes, horticulture tutorials and volunteer opportunities, as well as inspiration visitors can take back home.
"This is a good place to learn. You can get ideas you can use in your own landscape," Winter said. "It's good to get the families out into nature. We've got beautiful butterflies, lots of birds around here, and of course the blooming plants."
Butterflies are a major feature at Callaway Gardens, which was founded in the 1950s by Cason and Virginia Callaway, who turned their private retreat into a public garden space.
"A lot of people in Georgia were still sort of recovering from the Depression. They might not be able to go all over the world, so he decided to open the gardens up to the public," Collins said. "This was just worn-out cotton fields and corn fields, and he tried to reclaim the land and make it better than it was when he left it. He wanted people to see something pretty."
Callaway's gardens include experimental crops, native Georgia trees and plants, seasonal topiaries in the fall, it's college football mascots and the butterfly garden. Though Callaway is primarily a display garden, research is an important part of its mission, said Rachel Crumbley, director of marketing and public relations. In addition to reintroducing the longleaf pine to the area, Callaway is home to vegetable seed trials, raptor reintroduction and stream bank repair.
"Every garden has its own personality, its own strengths and its own things to show you," said Connie Cottingham, public relations and special events coordinator for the State Botanical Garden. "The gardens in Georgia are so rich and so diverse. It's proven in study after study that time in nature is so important, and it's a great way to get outside."

Candling certificates provide opportunity to sell eggs off-premise at farmers markets, flea markets

By Dallas Duncan

More than 50 Augusta-area producers are now certified egg candlers, thanks to a class on March 27.
"This egg candling certificate will allow you, as a backyard producer, the ability to sell your eggs off your farm at other locations such as local farmers markets or local flea markets," said Greg Manous, the Department's Food Safety Division sanitarian who taught the course. "This certificate will not allow you to wholesale your eggs to the convenience store down the street or the restaurant down the street."
To do that, he said, producers must go a step further and become licensed egg producers, with their farm and facilities coming under inspection by the Department.
During the Thursday afternoon class, participants learned about egg anatomy, egg grades and how to properly clean and care for the food product. In order to obtain their certificate, they had to take a written exam, candle several dozen eggs and provide secure and verifiable documentation about their farm operation.
The process of candling involves holding eggs up to a special light and examine the egg for imperfections: meat spots, rot, blood spots and cracks, Manous said. Though the eggs participants practice with are commercial grade, he said producers are welcome to bring in a few of their own eggs from home to candle as well though those will not count toward the certificate.
Eggs must be candled within 36 hours, and must be labeled with an expiration date of no more than 45 days from the candling date, he said. The Georgia Egg Law requires producers to refrigerate eggs at 41 degrees or lower, including if the eggs are sold out of a cooler at the farmers market.
Egg candling classes are held throughout the state several times per year, Manous said. Most of the attendees are small egg producers with just a handful of chickens like Katherine Crossan of Martinez, Ga.
"I now have eight backyard chickens and I have more eggs than my husband and I need," she said. "I'm currently giving them away, but I thought it might be nice to have candling class knowledge and if I ever wanted to sell them at a farmers market, I could."

provided an opportunity to expand their market if need be. Right now, their operation focuses on breeding poultry rather than egg production.
"About a year ago, our son Tyler decided he wanted some chickens. It started out with a few chickens and it has progressed from there," Todd Neville said. "Anything dealing with chickens interests us right now, and we saw this class and thought we should go ahead and get our license just in case we have to get into some eggs."
David Young, president of Savannah River Grange, said spreading the word about services such as the egg candling classes will garner more interest in small farms in the Augusta area.
"Augusta's not considered to be a big agricultural hub, so I just wanted to prove them wrong and say, `Hey, we do have a good interest,'" Young said. "Backyard farmers is a movement, it's not just a fad. People are wanting to grow their own chickens, have their own eggs, grow their own backyard gardens and this is just a good way to help people."

CATTLE: Grandin stresses educating consumers, students

From Page 1

Grandin addressed producers, college students and junior members several times while in Perry, offering technical advice and even pausing to draw sketches of corral plans for those who asked. But her mission in attending the event was clear: beef producers need to share their industry with the public.
"The general public is getting further and further removed from agriculture. It's kind of shocking the things some kids believe," Grandin said. "We're talking about a complete lack of the most basic knowledge."
The lack of knowledge can be partially attributed to the lack of practical skills classes in many schools, Grandin said.
"Students are starting to show up at universities and they don't know what they want to do. They haven't experienced enough stuff," she said. "I was the kind of kid, if I didn't have the hands-on classes I would have gone absolutely nowhere."
Grandin advised producers to do some educating, too. "What's work to you is interesting to people in the cities," she said. "Things like fixing fences, doctoring cattle, the normal stuff that you do." She said sometimes, even when farmers are doing nothing wrong, the public perceives closed-door policies to be hiding

something. "I think now we're in the era of the cellphone camera.
That's going to change things," Grandin said. "If everybody has a video, that can be an instant live feed to the news networks. ... We've got to look at everything that we do now: how will this play on the news? How will this play on the YouTube video if it gets a million hits?"
She said some facilities are adopting video monitoring systems to ensure animals are handled properly even when auditors aren't in the room, to discourage practices that could wind up being the subject of an activist video.
Her words struck home with many in the audience. "It's important to appreciate how far agriculture's come and how she really emphasizes health and handling. She's trying to make consumers aware so that ag doesn't get a bad rap and it's promoted for the better," said Macy Seagraves, chapter relations officer for Georgia Junior Cattlemen's Association. "I think it's important for people to realize that and put [her principles] into practice and give positivity to the agriculture industry, and for people to take that back to their own home and get their families to use those techniques so they can be handling their beef better."
