Gone Surfing!: Ice Queen's Cave by Donna VossWhile the world and sites to see seem vast and endless, there is connection and community smaller than we think. A series of short stories and poems, Donna Voss demonstrates connections on a global front: world-class pilots and children of a farm, a surfer traveling the globe, the united experiences of veterans returning home from war. About the Author:Donna Voss lives in Southern California. As a volunteer at her public grade school, she began the Garden Club when her daughter started kindergarten in 1997. Since then, many parents and teachers have contributed their energy toward building a "Farm to Table" public school program, which teaches kids how to grow, make, reuse, repurpose, recycle food, expanding the program throughout the district. When Donna's daughter became the Garden Club teacher, she developed an educational curriculum and got a grant for the first farmhouse. Now offsite tours at the school district farm are provided to all the K-6 graders who enjoy field trips of the ever-expanding farm site. By teaching the next generation how to grow sustainable food, they are also learning how to build a healthy community and develop good relationships, by promoting inclusivity and teaching the importance of considering another person's perspective. Also, by learning how to listen with empathy and the simple act that being kind really does matter and, in some cases, can make all the difference.https://www.amazon.com/Gone-Surfing-Ice-Queens-Cave/dp/B0FQBMSW14https://mainspringbooks.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/5726dvmsb.mp3

This week on What In East Dallas Is Going On?!, Rich and Camille sit down with Skyler Colman and Shannon Ramirezto talk about something that's become a staple in East Dallas, the White Rock Home Tour.What started back in 2006 as a small idea from a group of Hexter Elementary PTA parents has grown into something much bigger. At its core, it was about two things. A love for mid century modern homes and a desire to support their neighborhood school.We get into the story behind those iconic Ju-Nel homes designed by Lyle Rowley and Jack Wilson. The kind of homes that stop you mid drive. Low rooflines, open spaces, natural light pouring in. The kind of architecture that makes you feel something.But this isn't just about homes.Every dollar raised goes right back into Hexter Elementary, a National Blue Ribbon school that's doing some incredible things for kids right here in our community. From technology to literacy programs to campus improvements, this tour is about investing in something that actually matters.It's a conversation about architecture, yes. But more than that, it's about community, purpose, and what can happen when people decide to show up for something bigger than themselves.Give it a listen.Connect with us!  Instagram   -   Facebook   www.visiteastdallas.comPartner with us! connect@visiteastdallas.com

While Historic Garden Week offers a glimpse into some of Virginia's most beautiful private homes and gardens each spring, the story doesn't end when the gates close.In Part II of this conversation, Allie Kochinsky is joined by Deneen Brannock and Candy Crosby of The Garden Club of Virginia to explore the deeper work that sustains this long-standing tradition.Learn how funds raised during Historic Garden Week are translated into long-term preservation projects, why stewardship requires ongoing care rather than one-time restoration, and how the organization's fellowship program supports research. Using projects like the restoration of the Kent-Valentine House grounds as a case study, this conversation highlights how preservation is not static, but an evolving practice rooted in education, investment, and responsibility.This episode explores:How Historic Garden Week supports preservation efforts across VirginiaWhy long-term stewardship matters in historic landscapesThe role of fellowships in shaping preservation's futureVisitors may come for the beauty of spring, but they leave having contributed to something far more lasting: the protection and understanding of Virginia's cultural and landscape heritage for generations to come.RESOURCESListen to Part I of this conversation here.Visit the Historic Garden Week website (and grab your tickets!) here.Interested in the Fellowships?

Each April, as Virginia comes into bloom, a remarkable tradition unfolds. During the third week of the month, private homes and gardens, many rarely open to the public, welcome visitors in celebration of beauty, place, and history.In this episode of Grandma's Silver, I sit down with Karen Ellsworth, Director of Historic Garden Week, and Virginia Gillock, Board Member and Chair, to discuss the origins and evolution of this nearly century-old tradition.We explore the Garden Club of Virginia's founding vision, why the event has endured for generations, the deeply place-based nature of the tours across Virginia, how gardens tell stories that architecture alone cannot, and what visitors can expect this year. From floral arrangements and front-door hospitality to the anticipation of spring across the Commonwealth, this conversation highlights what makes Historic Garden Week so special, and why 2026 marks a particularly meaningful moment in its history.RESOURCES:Learn more about Historic Garden Week here, including how to purchase tickets.Follow along on Facebook and/or Instagram to stay updated on events, photographs, and more.Interested in the book recommended by today's guests?
