RETIRED METHODIST PASTOR FINDS A MINISTRY WITH PLANTS
WENDI GIBSON, NORTH CORRESPONDENT
While most of Roanoke scurried about under the protection of umbrellas
last Wednesday, Lance Knowles had an outdoor engagement to attend,
and a little rain wasn't going to stop him. His tomatoes were calling, so
he picked them.While this is no unusual feat, the number of tomatoes
he's picked this summer is. "There's been such a prolific interest in
tomatoes this year that we've started weighing them," Knowles
said. He has hauled in over a ton of tomatoes from his garden at
Roanoke United Methodist Home this season and attributes his
2,000-pound harvest to an abundance of rain. Knowles, a retired
minister, has been gardening at the Methodist Home for four
summers. In those years he's manicured the rose bushes, filled
the flower boxes with colorful blooms and provided the home's
dining room with a bounty of tomatoes. Residents there have, in
turn, tossed Knowles' red and yellow fruits into salads, pureed
them over spaghetti and diced them in their chili. Employees have
taken baskets of them home to their families and Knowles has sent
bushels to the City Rescue Mission and RAM House for others to
enjoy. Knowles retired from the ministry in 1976 in Farmville
and moved with his wife, Mary, almost five years ago to the
Methodist home. There he's put his flower-pruning interest to work
by assisting with the landscaping. The Roanoke Council of Garden
Clubs recognized him in 1989 for his dedication to the care of his
flowers. His interest in gardening didn't sprout after retirement,
though; he has raised flowers as long as he can remember, caring
for his plants wherever he could have a flower bed. Growing up on
a farm near Christiansburg made plants a natural hobby to adopt.
As a Methodist minister, however, gardening was no easy task.
Following his graduation from Emory & Henry College in 1934, he
spent only a few years in any one church before being transferred
to another. It would be a couple of years later before Knowles
could plant a garden again, and then he could barely see the
fruits of his labor before moving again. Nonetheless he never
forgot what his plants, wherever they were planted, needed. "Oh
yes, I talk to them," he said. "I sing little ditties. I lecture
them if they're not doing too well; and I compliment them if they
are." Surprisingly, lectures are the things Knowles had to deliver
to the campus flowers this year, insisting that the bright violets,
reds, fuchsias and golds of his flower beds are just a little bit
rain-battered, though pretty just the same. If a ton of juicy,
ripe tomatoes is any indication though, it was praise and flattery
that Knowles' garden heard as he sowed, tended and gathered the
harvest. Proof positive, you can't blame everything on the rain.

Minister loved creating furniture, tending garden
Because many parsonages that he and his wife, Mary, moved into lacked
furniture, Lance Knowles taught himself to build.
By SHAWNA MORRISON, THE ROANOKE TIMES
Through nearly 20 years of springs, summers and falls, the Rev. Lance
Knowles could be seen puttering around the grounds of Roanoke United
Methodist Home, wearing his blaze orange hat and tending his plants.
In winter, the retired Methodist minister would retreat to his wood
shop. There he would spend hours creating elaborate pieces of
furniture from scraps of old walnut and mahogany trees. Knowles,
originally from Christiansburg, didn't slow down until weeks before
he died of old age March 26. He was 91. From 1934 to 1976, Knowles
served as a minister in churches throughout Virginia and a few in
West Virginia. Because many of the parsonages that he and his wife,
Mary, moved into lacked furniture, he taught himself to build. When
the couple moved into Roanoke United Methodist Home in the 1980s,
Knowles turned an old stable at the former mansion into a wood shop.
He claimed old trees that fell on the home's 10 acres. "He took the
actual tree, had the lumber cut the way he wanted it, and had it dried
the way he wanted it," said Elaine Lavinder, director of social
services at the Methodist home. She said Knowles built furniture
pieces to fit together like a puzzle - free of nails and screws. Even
the handles were hand-made. "He was always making something for
somebody," said his friend Carol O'Neill. He built for family,
friends and the home itself. A cross and wooden candlesticks for the
altar, an Advent wreath and the table it rests on. When someone
donated a piano, he built a matching bench. But woodworking was only
his cold-weather project; something to do when his real love was
asleep for the winter. "He ordered, grew and planted most of the
flowers on the property," Lavinder said. In 1991, Knowles grew more
than a ton of tomatoes. He gave them to everyone at the home and had
plenty left over for the Roanoke Rescue Mission and RAM House. "But
his pride and joy was the rose garden," Lavinder said. When drought
struck the Roanoke Valley last summer, Knowles made sure water
restrictions didn't affect his roses. Three times a day, Knowles
would move from table to table in the dining room, emptying whatever
was left in water glasses into buckets to water his roses. He would
drive around on his golf cart and check on them daily. O'Neill, a
master gardener, met Knowles a few years ago at Greene Memorial
United Methodist Church. One Sunday they started talking about roses.
Knowles told O'Neill about the rose garden he tended at the home. He
explained that it was getting to be a lot of work. O'Neill
volunteered to help and was hired temporarily by the home. Knowles
always worked by her side. "He was out there as much as I was," she
said. Knowles' son, Lance Jr. of Chester, attributes his father's
green thumb to growing up on a farm. His wife, Darlene, said she
would give her father-in-law poinsettia plants that looked hopeless
and he would bring them back to her full of life. Mary Knowles died
June 15, 2001, 12 days before the couple would have celebrated 63
years of marriage. Jay Holdren, executive director of Roanoke United
Methodist Home, said residents have approached him about honoring
Lance Knowles and his wife with a plaque in the rose garden. "He had
a spirit about him that was hard to match," Holdren said. "He was
loved by everybody," O'Neill said. "He has touched so many hearts."
