Road Trip to Charlotte
A couple of weeks ago, a group of gardeners and I made a two and a half hour dash to Charlotte to take in Elizabeth Lawrence’s Garden, Wing Haven, and Stowe Botanic Garden. Certainly an ambitious itinerary, and with a detour to a Campbell’s Nursery, inevitably incomplete. Read more:
