 Replanting of Edgefield Town Square gets underway Monday web posted March 12, 2008 EDGEFIELD – Many of the final touches of the replanting of the Edgefield Town Square were finalized on Tuesday when the Town Square Advisory Committee, Mayor Ken Durham, Suzanne Holmes of the Clemson Extension Office, and Rankin Jolly of Rock Creek Landscaping, met to sign off on the details. The work will begin this coming Monday Mayor Durham said. Among the many flower choices made were Knockout Roses would fill two beds on the west side of the square around the light poles, four gardenias will be planted at the base of the Confederate Monument in the center, and assortment of day lilies, Japanese Soft Touch hollies, annuals and other assorted blooming plants will round out the other beds. Mr. Jolly stated fifteen foot Tuscarora Crape Myrtles would replace the existing trees. Some of the parking will have to be blocked off during the demolition of the fountain and the removal of the existing trees, plants, and grass. Mayor Durham said the replanting would take between two and three weeks. The existing fountain will not be replaced at this time and a flowerbed will go in its place until a water feature can be agreed on by all. One suggestion was to play on the connection to Edgefield pottery and use a very large glazed pot at ground level that would spill out on rocks below at ground level. Other possible water features are also under review. Mayor Durham said he has been approached by several people asking about the current fountain. In order to sell the fountain it will have to be advertised and people could then submit bids. “That’s the only way we can do it,” Mayor Durham said. ©
