From the Managing Editor
than usual. We wimpy Southerners were treated to our share of subfreezing temps, closed bridges and ice – and all the while, I was planning the community garden photo that you see on the cover of this magazine, along with other springtime features. Our front cover was shot on location at the I’On community garden, a lovely place even in the dead of January. Kate McKin- ley was the talented photographer behind the lens. Te smiling faces you see belong to the Mauro family – Gregg, Wendy, Dagny and Alex – who live in the I’On neighborhood and enjoy the opportunity to make things grow. Royall Ace Hardware on Coleman Boulevard in Mount Pleasant donated the garden tools for the occasion. My appreciation goes out to everyone involved. By the time this issue makes it into your hands, the weather will (we hope) be warmer, and we’ll look ahead to outdoor activi- ties in East Cooper. You’ll begin daydreaming about the Cooper River Bridge Run and the Family Circle Tennis Cup; tending to plants you’d like to see thrive in your own yard; planning your kids’ summer activities; and yearning for peaceful days on the porch or sun-splashed days at the beach. Our March/April issue is right there with you. As you fan through these pages, you’ll find a breath of fresh air touched with the fragrance and enthusiasm of spring. Enjoy this edition of Mount Pleasant Magazine, and thanks for reading. As for me, I’m pondering our back-to-school issue.
O Managing Editor
Yours, DENISE K. JAMES
NCE UPON A TIME, I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR A magazine editor to think ahead. In the past, when I would thumb through issues of Vogue or Elle in March and admire the gorgeous spring frocks, I never considered the vision that comes with putting together a spring issue in the winter. Until now.
My position at Mount Pleasant Magazine has always challenged and enthralled me, but this past winter has been more so
