But judging the spread available at Furman’s 2013 Earth Day Festival, it might become one. That’s what Joy Owens is hoping for. Every spring, Owens and members of the Furman in the Garden club grow and sell seeds that were produced in a 1/4-acre farm that is adjacent to Furman’s David E. Shi Center for Sustainability. The annual sell typically nets positive results. However, Owens is hoping the Earth Day Festival will bring more attention to what her club and others like it are doing at Furman.
