Biographical/historical information

Eleanor Gaillard Simons was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on November 12, 1944, to Charles William Simons and Eleanor Ball Gaillard. Her father and her Uncle Lucas Simons established the Simons Brothers Vineyard in St. Andrew's Parish. Its name was later changed to Simons Nursery.

Eleanor Simons grew up in St. Andrew's Parish and graduated from high school in 1962. She took classes at Palmer Business College (now Trident Technical College) and for many years worked in the nursery and landscaping business at Cross Seed Company, Schirmer's Landscape Nursery, and then Landscape Pavers Limited. In 1983 she switched careers and worked in the travel industry at McIntosh Travel in Charleston until she retired in 2002.

On May 11, 2002, Eleanor Simons married John Baxton Flowers III (a North Carolina native). They lived in Augusta, Georgia, where Flowers was the vice president of Augusta State University. Upon Flowers's retirement in 2005, they moved permanently to their home Tulip Hill near Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Like her mother, Eleanor Simons Flowers was very active in Charleston in numerous groups including Children of the Confederacy, Colonial Dames of America, Girl Scouts, Junior League, Charleston Museum, Huguenot Society of South Carolina, the Preservation Society of Charleston, and Scottish Society of Charleston among other groups. She was also a member of the Society for the Preservation of Spirituals.

While living in Georgia and now in North Carolina, she is involved in garden clubs, Episcopal church activities, and raising money for local charities.
