fter the big chill of January,

Presented by the Knoxville News
Sentinel, the House & Garden Show
in recent years won bragging rights
as one of the Southeast Tourism
Society’s Top 20 Events.

The magical garden displays like
Mark Fuhrman’s railroad exhibit
with miniature barns, shacks and
log cabins are perennial crowdpleasers. The landscaper is making
his 21st appearance with a minirailroad tribute to East Tennessee of
the 1930s to 1950s.

Karen Massey and Dino Cartwright,
who have worked together as House
& Garden Show co-chairs for several
years, are joined by co-chair Shanna
Browning, who previously served as
volunteer coordinator.
Browning, a loan specialist at First
Tennessee Bank, grew up attending
Dogwood Arts events that celebrate
the region’s arts, culture and natural
beauty. “As I grew older, I wanted to
give back because it was such a large
part of my growing-up years,” she says.
“I started as a volunteer 18 years
ago. It grew to being the volunteer
coordinator for the last few years, and
to now being a co-chair with Dino and
Karen. I just feel that Dogwood Arts
showcases Knoxville so beautifully,

ORNL Federal Credit Union to offer place to relax and chat
By Betsy PIckle


T

here’s so much to see and do
at the Dogwood Arts House
& Garden Show that it can be
overwhelming. Don’t worry –
just relax at the ORNL Federal Credit
Union booth.
“We’ll have a TV set up, couches –
just kind of a relaxing area for people
to come in and talk to us,” says Jessica
Emert, director of community and
public relations for ORNL Federal
Credit Union.
Walking around the convention
center can be a jumpstart to dreaming
about home and landscape projects.
The credit union’s booth is a smart
place to begin thinking about how to
turn those dreams into reality.

“We’re going
to be there
with some of
our mortgage
loan officers
and branch
staff to answer
questions that people may have about
financing or how they can go about
getting home-equity loans, or if they
wanted to redo their back yard or do
some landscaping. We want to help
them do that,” says Emert.
ORNL Federal Credit Union also
will give away a copy of Sycamore
Row, the 2014 Dogwood Arts Limited
Editon Print by Kathie Odom.
As a presenting sponsor of
Dogwood Arts since 2004, the credit
union, which has 32 branches across
16 East Tennessee counties, enjoys

taking part in the
popular House &
Garden Show.
“We speak
to hundreds
and hundreds
of people every
year,” Emert says. “It’s been a good
opportunity for our employees to
connect with vendors and to connect
with the community, even some of
their own members who come by and
have questions or recognize them.
“It gives us a chance to be out there
and to be present and to let people
know that yes, we’re in the finance
business, but we’re also supporting
the community. The Dogwood Arts
Festival has a rich history, and we’re
proud to be a part of it.”
Emert says credit union employees

jump at the chance to staff the booth.
“It’s just a little bit different from
working inside the office,” she says. “It
gives them the chance to interact with
others that they may not usually see,
whether that’s members or even other
employees. It gets them involved and
connected.”
And, of course, during breaks they
can look around and get their own
ideas.
“The House & Garden Show is the
perfect place to learn new tricks and
home pointers,” says Emert.
She’s always happy to work at the
booth and hear what people have to
say about the credit union, which was
founded in 1948.
“It’s great to hear stories of how we
have helped members in the past with
their home needs.”

three days during the House &

upgraded with modern twists
that are authentic, quick and fun
to prepare,” says Chef Joseph
Lowery. “It sounds too good to

be true, but not when you visit us
during the Cooking School.”
Lowery and Chef Karen
Crumley, both Avanti Savoia
chef consultants and cooking
instructors, will demonstrate and
offer step-by-step instructions
on “how to properly chop your
ingredients, cook your sauce and
boil your pasta,” explains Lowery.
“Once the correct techniques
are learned, any recipe can be
followed and enjoyed.
“Then we’ll add a modern
twist to the classic.”
Fried sage leaves will amp up
spaghetti carbonara. The richness
of an Alfredo sauce and a wild
mushroom medley will infuse the
porcini tagliatelle dish. Roasted

Along with the know-how and
the recipes, the products, from the
gourmet olive oils to Italian pastas,

eight years ago selling extra virgin
olive oil “is so much more today,”
explains company President Ben
Slocum.
“We sell a variety of highquality products for the everyday
food lover – extra virgin olive
oils, traditional balsamic vinegars,
truffles, honey, sea salts, gourmet
chocolates, risotto, fresh spices and
so much more. The newest part of

“Even for those who say “I could
never do that.’”
Turning the “can’ts” of budding
culinary enthusiasts into “cans” is
at the heart of what Lowery and
Crumley do.

Lowery, who apprenticed in
San Francisco, has 40-plus years
of culinary wit. Also a wine
aficionado, he blends all the hats
of his restaurateur years and his
familial roots to create a unique
repertoire of the best of the
best cuisine. Crumley, a trained
sushi chef, is one of Knoxville’s
homegrown chefs, a graduate
of The Culinary Institute at the
University of Tennessee.
The cooking duo believes
“cooking doesn’t have to be
complicated or fussy.” Lowery says,
“The heart of cooking is about
family and friends coming together
to share the love of food.”

House & Garden sHow


Champion: More than windows and sunrooms
By Betsy PIckle


A

t the House & Garden
Show, Champion Windows,
Sunrooms, Roofs and Home
Exteriors will focus on the
house part of the equation, but the
company will bring a taste for the
outdoors along.
“We’ll have a life-size sunroom,”
says Carolyn Leditke, creative director
at the Champion home office in
Cincinnati. “People will be able
to walk in and open and close the
doors and actually see the quality of
construction.”
The 60-year-old company does
more than windows and sunrooms; it
also does entry doors, garage doors,
vinyl siding and roofs.

“We can protect and upgrade your
entire home exterior,” says Leditke.
Show visitors can get a crash
course in Champion’s history and
products, with plenty of hands-on
education.
“They’ll be able to touch and
test and see our windows,” Leditke
says. “Our siding, our windows, our
sunrooms, our entry doors – all that
will be on display. Unlike trying to
pick it out of a catalog, they’ll actually
be able to see it and test the quality.”
There will even be a section of
roof to examine. Special savings will
be offered, along with contests. And
visitors can schedule an in-home
consultation to see what Champion
can do for them.
“Because everything is customdesigned and custom-manufactured,

each project is treated as unique,”
says Ben Rosenfield, Champion’s
public relations manager. “There’s
not a one-size-fits-all product that we
make.”
And everything comes with a
lifetime guarantee.
“We actually guarantee not only
the product, but we guarantee
the installation of that product as
long as they own their home,” says
Leditke. “If there’s ever a problem,
they call Champion. Anything they
need from the time they purchase
a product from us, they’ll just
come to Champion, and that gives
homeowners huge peace of mind.”
One of Champion’s biggest
innovations is its Comfort 365 glass.
“That’s an argon-enhanced glass
product,” explains Rosenfield. “It’s

designed to keep the cold out and
the heat in or the heat out and the
cold in, depending on what season
you’re in, and also block a significant
amount of UV exposure from
sunlight that will fade your carpet,
your curtains, your furniture and
things like that.”
“We have a really cool
demonstration at the show that
illustrates the difference between
the typical windows in the industry
and how our glass even outperforms
triple frame,” says Leditke, who notes
that Champion’s windows and doors
are Energy Star certified in all 50
states.
“The difference in feeling is
immediate,” says Rosenfield. “There’s
absolutely no way you could mistake
our glass for anybody else’s.”

House & Garden sHow


Grand Gardens enliven show with color and scents
By Ronda Robinson


C

A glowing firepit accents a garden during
last year’s show.

olorful flowers, ferns,
shrubs, trees and even
miniature trains turn
thousands of square feet
of concrete floor into warm and
inviting garden vignettes during
the annual Dogwood Arts House
& Garden Show at the Knoxville
Convention Center.
This year visitors will be able to
stroll through 10 gardens, ranging
from 600 to 1,000 square feet apiece,
and taste spring around the corner.
“Each is uniquely designed
by area landscapers to showcase
the newest designs for gardens
and landscaping,” says Elizabeth
Thomas, garden manager for the
show.

She notes that the Grand Gardens
are strategically placed throughout
the exhibit space, offering constant
splashes of color, inspiration and
hints of spring.
“In essence, the gardens are our
floor show! Without the gardens, the
show would be devoid of greenery
and new life, and we truly could not
attract the thousands who come
specifically to escape the harsh cold.”
The gardens may include covered
decks, paver patios, walkways, ponds
and other creative ideas for outdoor
spaces, all landscaped with trees,
shrubs, blooming flowers, mulch
and hardscapes.
As Thomas explains, “Each
gardener builds all of this inside
the Knoxville Convention Center
exhibit hall to bring spring to life for
visitors to enjoy during the show.”

The gardeners bring a rainbow of
creative talents to their endeavors,
from ball courts and putting greens
to retaining walls and rain gardens.
All aim to help their clients increase
curb appeal as well as enjoyment of
outdoor living spaces.
Thomas says the Grand Gardens
give visitors a chance to discuss
their homes and outdoor spaces
with many of the region’s most
talented landscape designers. This
year, the Grand Gardens were
designed by Mark W. Fuhrman
Complete Landscape Services,
Brookhaven Designs LLC,
Earthadelic, Landscape Outfitters,

Landscapes, Pleasant Hill Nursery,

House & Garden sHow


Fuhrman railroad to have mountain feel
By Ronda Robinson


T

rains take Mark Fuhrman
and his fans to a magical
place, a simpler time in
America.
He will bring that vision to
life again when he makes his 21st
appearance at the House & Garden
Show, as his garden will be a
railroad landscape tribute to East
Tennessee of the 1930s to 1950s.
Miniature barns, shacks and
log cabins will dot the landscape
in the exhibit, evoking the feeling
of Cades Cove and the Smoky
Mountains.
The garden railroad will display
trains 129th the size of real ones
and tracks 1 3/4 inches wide.
Fuhrman and crew will landscape

the 1,000-square-foot exhibit with
an assortment of miniature plants
and a small waterfall.
“Every year we always try to
have something different,” he says.
“We run both steam and early
diesel locomotives. That was the
era that steam was ending and
early diesel locomotives were
starting.”
Furhman, who at 60 owns
hundreds of model trains, will
share his railroad passion with a
display that takes 10 men nearly
two days to build.
His specialty actually is large
residential landscaping. He is
celebrating his 36th year in the
business. His Knoxville-based
company, Mark W. Fuhrman
Complete Landscape Services,
installs everything from waterfalls

to retaining walls.
However, he’s also built several
garden railroads for people he’s
met at past shows.
Fuhrman’s scope extends into
the region, as he’s put together
holiday garden railroad displays at
Dollywood, the Christmas Place
in Pigeon Forge and Children’s
Museum of Oak Ridge.
As he says, “Doing these public
displays is a good way of justifying
the hobby.”

Landscape Outfitters to create Smokies scene
By Rebecca Ferrar


A

field that could be part of
the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park is the inspiration
behind the design by Jeremy
Fuson, owner of Halls-based Landscape
Outfitters.
“It’s going to go back to the Smoky
Mountain look, the outdoor rugged
style,” Fuson says.
“What we’re planning is really like
being in the mountains. We’ll have a
rock bridge where you walk up the
bridge across the stream. It’s like a rustic
outdoor patio space.”
It will fit East Tennessee well, he says.
“It will be like the Smoky Mountains
and an outdoor mountain field. It’s what
a lot of people want in their back yard.”
In addition to the mountain stream

and bridge, Fuson plans to build other
water features.
“We’re going to do lots of evergreen
trees and shrubs,” he adds. “We’ll use
lots of pink heather. Everybody loves
pink heathers because of their color.”
The evergreen blooms in the winter and
is relatively inexpensive, he says.
Landscape lighting will accent the
focal points.
“We’ll have lots of big boulders to
give it the feel of the mountains,” Fuson
says. “We’ll do multi-elevations of the
walkways to give the feel that you’re
really in the backyard.”
The pathways will be “mostly a
flagstone look. The walkway and patio
will be a flagstone look with some
accents for style,” he says.
A bubbling stone fountain was incorporated into Landscape Outfitters’ grand garden.
Fuson says his staff puts the Grand
Garden together in about a week and
takes it down in one day.

Water curtains falling from the roofline
of each deck add to the ambience. The
garden scene also will feature a custommade metal fire pit surrounded by pavers,

he says, adding, “We stay within their

He designs low-maintenance hardscapes,
from a small sidewalk to a complete outdoor
kitchen flanked by a fireplace and a pool.
“I’m very approachable. I help the
customer design what their dream is.”
The House & Garden Show is a family
affair for Ward, who is in his 10th year as a
landscape exhibitor at the show. His wife,
Kelli, will be on hand, along with their
9-year-old son, Mason, who will be handing
out flyers and business cards. Visitors from
years past will remember seeing Mason as a

Plan-it Green to draw from nature
By Chandra Harris


A

picturesque natural stone
Grand Garden that will
echo the idyllic nature
of East Tennessee will be
built by Knoxville’s Plan-It Green
Landscapes for the show.
To be exact, more than 17 tons
of stone will be used to create a
raised patio featuring a seating area
made of boulders, surrounded by
freestanding, intricate stone walls.
“It will be a unique reflection of
the natural beauty that surrounds
us,” explains landscape architect
Brandon Card of Plan-It Green.
No strangers to working with
commonplace landscaping materials
like concrete pavers and massproduced stone, Brandon, along with
his brother, Jordan, and their father,

Plan-it Green Landscapes uses patterns from nature.

Ab, want to showcase the other side
of the family’s landscaping business

at this year’s Dogwood Arts House &
Garden Show.

“Our Grand Garden will show off
the endless possibilities of natural
stone creations,” he says.
Many of their custom projects
use eco-friendly materials, such
as quarried stone, native plants or
chemical-free lawn care options.
“We pride ourselves on
approaching every project with a
‘green’ mindset,” says Brandon.
“More and more we are patterning
landscapes after nature,” he explains,
“and not just with the look, but also
with the function, by incorporating
rainwater harvesting systems that use
rainwater for irrigation purposes or
dry creek beds that prevent storm
runoff and erosion.
“By recommending eco-friendly
options through our designs, we
are able to explore environmentally
sustainable ways that make both the
homeowner and earth proud.”

Pleasant Hill’s water feature requires less maintenance
By Rebecca Ferrar


A

pondless water feature and
a fire pit with a sitting area
will be the main features of
the backyard garden created
by Pleasant Hill Nursery at the show.
“We’re going to make a small
backyard with a nice little relaxation
area using a combination of natural,
hardscape and manufactured walls,”
says Rick Oakes, owner. “We’ll have a
natural stone patio.”
“When you walk into it, you go
through a brick paver patio,” Oakes
says. “If you go to the right, it’s a
semicircle sitting area, and in the
center is a fire pit. On the other side
will be a relaxed sitting bench with an
arbor with music in the background. Lush plantings and water feature were part of the Pleasant Hill Nursery garden in 2013.

“We try to keep it natural and
simple.”
Oakes says the pondless water
feature will have water underneath
the stones and won’t have fish. “It’s
mainly for the sound element,”
he says. Such ponds are safer for
families with children and require
less maintenance.
“Most people want the sound
without the maintenance,” Oakes
says.
The Grand Garden will also
showcase some of the trees from
the nursery’s tree farm in Maryville,
where they produce about 4,500
trees.
The plants in the garden will
include hollies, boxwoods, weeping
Japanese maples, magnolias and
evergreens.

in our lives.”
“This will be a moment to leave
the digital world behind,” she says,
“and explore the goodness of nature
– how plants grow and how rainwater
provides much-needed nutrients to
sustain a garden.”
Reno is a firm believer that, given
the knowledge and right tools, anyone
with a bit of time and willingness can
create their own sustainable garden.
She’s done so in her own backyard
with raised beds of fruit and vegetable
plants and rows of fruit trees.
“You can truly garden all year
around,” says Reno, debunking the
notion that the winter months are
an idle time. “Something is and can
always be growing, and we’re here to
teach people how.”

Stuart Row garden blends natural with urban

H

orticulturist Stuart Row has
a lot of experience when it
comes to plants, trees, flowers
and shrubs. But at this year’s
House & Garden Show, the owner of
Stuart Row Landscaping plans to blend
such natural ingredients with modern
features in creating an outdoor living
space in his Grand Garden area.
Located near the entrance to the
show floor, Row’s presentation this
year will juxtapose an area featuring
evergreens, flowering ground covers
and boulders with a hardscape sitting
area that showcases squared pavers,
contemporary furnishings, new
lighting fixtures, a fire pit and a water
feature.

will be incorporated into the rock
water feature, where water will cascade
into a collecting pool below.
“It’s a different look than what we
would normally do,” Row adds.
Row, who has been in the
landscaping business since 1982,
received a degree in horticulture
from the University of Tennessee in
1987 and has been operating his own
business since 1995.
One of the business’s unique aspects
is that it grows 90 percent of the plant
materials it works with on its own 10acre nursery site near Lenoir City.
“We produce everything from
ground cover and perennials to
flowering shrubs and trees,” Row says.
He also cites the fact that his
two supervisors – both horticulture
graduates – as well as the rest of his
staff have all been with the company
for many years.

Willow Ridge is doing big things in small spaces

W

hat do you do when
you own a landscaping
company, and you’re
limited to 1,000 square feet
of space at an upcoming home and
garden show? Robert Smiddy, owner
of Willow Ridge Landscaping in Oak
Ridge, decided to make the best of
things by creating a theme that played
right into his hands.
“This year, we’ll be showing
guests how much they can do with
a small space,” says Smiddy, who is
participating in his 15th consecutive
House & Garden Show. “We’ll
demonstrate how people can narrow
down their scope and their costs and
still do something grand.”
The Willow Ridge display will
feature an elevated paver patio

area and adjoining sitting wall. The
centerpiece of the presentation will be

an 8- or 9-foot-tall boulder waterfall
that drops to a small pond feature.

“Many homes in East Tennessee
only have 10 feet or so of useable
backyard space before it backs into a
steep hillside. So we’ll show how to do
something incredible with that kind of
area,” Smiddy adds. “We’ll also have a
deck section near the water feature to
show more possibilities.”
Willow Ridge plans to show off
its full capabilities as a design-build
landscape firm and retail garden center
by incorporating additional elements
such as exterior lighting, a space
designated for a fire pit and a diverse
range of plant life, from evergreens to
hardy tropicals like palms and banana
trees.
Willow Ridge Landscaping was
named 2013 Retailer of the Year by
the Tennessee Nursery & Landscape
Association and has been included in
the group’s top 100 retailers for the
past three years.

Variety of exhibitors promise to spark imagination
By Chandra Harris


F

rom kitchens, home
additions and sunrooms
to decks, hardscapes,
irrigation and landscaping,
more than 200 booths will turn
the Knoxville Convention Center
into an idea factory during the
three-day House & Garden Show.
Imaginations are sure to
be sparked. And if your home
improvement idea bank
happened to be low; no more,
after visiting with experts galore.
Companies like Healthy
Cooking Concepts will have you
eating healthier; Fancy Vents will
spiff-up your home’s interior
with a facelift for those blah and
dusty air return vent covers;

and ACME Block & Brick and
Cortese Tree Specialists will give
new meaning to curb appeal with
their infinite outdoor services –
enough to make any neighbor
envious.
Cindy Moore was looking for
a better, more beautiful way to
disguise a drab-looking air return
vent in her home.
Her honey-do request for her
husband, Earl, a skilled metal
artisan, was to make a decorative
metal vent cover. His result gave
birth to her entrepreneurial
spirit, as FancyVents was born.
What began in Earl’s
workshop now has its own studio
near their Nashville home.
With a portfolio of more than

Limited Edition Print
depicts beauty of Cades Cove


The how-to of healthy eating – fried chicken
without frying it – will be un-floured by Chef Dan
Galligan and his nutrition guru wife, Medea, of
Healthy Cooking Concepts.
Fried chicken without frying it, or vegetable medley
without boiling, may seem like a cruel joke on your
taste buds. But the Galligans assure that there is no
punch line, and they’re serving up food samples to
prove it.
Their recipe for health begins in the cookware –
Kitchen Craft’s waterless cookware.
The American-made, engineered cookware
combines seven layers of metal, which allows heat to
spread evenly, explains Dan. A tried-and-true believer
of the cookware, Dan saw his own health take a turn
for the better after becoming a Kitchen Craft loyalist.
“The craftsmanship combined with the natural
moisture – no adding grease, oil or water – of foods
produces food that not only tastes good, but is better
for you,” he says
And that’s only smidgen of what the House &
Garden Show’s buffet offers.
Prepare to be overwhelmed – in a good way.

A

rtist Kathie Odom found more than
beauty in Cades Cove; she found
inspiration for a painting, Sycamore
Row, that has been selected the
Dogwood Arts 2014 Limited Edition Print.
Odom says she and her husband were
spending a day visiting Cades Cove to
paint the panoramic views of the Smoky
Mountains when some fluffy white weeds
caught her attention and she felt called to a
line of sycamores in the open cove.
“There is something strange and
mysterious that awakens within me as I
open my easel and paint in the outdoors,
as in Sycamore Row,” says Odom, who was

photographed by a friendly park ranger with
her painting.
A Dogwood Arts committee of six who
reviewed a list of artists’ work selected
Odom’s impressionist-style oil on linen
painting for the Limited Edition Print.
“I personally was drawn to the pieces
I saw because of her soft touch with both
color and use of light,” says Kathy Slocum,
one of the committee members. “As a
longtime Knoxville artist, she will also be
someone whose work will be sought after by
local people, and visitors will find her work
to reflect the feeling of East Tennessee that
they want to remember and take home with
them.”
Odom, who has been a part of the
community for 40 years, says she finds it

the honor with artists who have come

“When Dogwood Arts came
knocking, I felt a strong sense that I
was saving this painting for the very
purpose of being the 2014 Limited
Edition Print.”
