Re: local gardener, Chip Callaway

Lynn,

I tried to pull the article up also.  For some reason the News and Record did not place this particular article on-line.

The title of the article is "In Full Bloom" by Maria C. Johnson, staff writer.

BTW, Chip Callaway is featured in an article in the June issue of Southern Living.  The title of the article is, "Arise In A Garden" by Mark G. Stith.  Asheville's Richmond Hill Inn makes a perfect getaway.  Its abundant garden soothes the soul, and the crisp mountain air does a body good.

Mike,
    I am interested in this person and article, but I cannot find it online.  Can you send me a link to it?  I was in college with someone named 'Chip Callaway' and am wondering if it is the same guy.
 
Thanks,

There's a great article in todays, 6/4/2000, Sunday's News and Record in Greensboro, NC.  I had never heard of Chip Callaway, a local gardener whose creations have won him international acclaim.  Callaway's gardens flank some of the grandest and most historically hefty homes in the country: The Alexander Graham Bell House in Washington, Stratford Hall, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in Stratford Va. and The Roper house, one of the outstanding mansions on The Battery in Charleston, SC.

 Sissinghurst in Kent, England

 J.C. Raulston arboretum at N.C. State in Raleigh ("It's the only public garden where you can take a cutting.")

Favorite ground cover:
  ardesia japonica

Favorite tree:
  prunus mume, winter flowering apricot
