I have just finished reading 'Mrs Whaley and her Charleston Garden' and enjoyed it very much; such a lovely little story. I told my friend who lives in Davidson NC and thought perhaps she would be able to source the book via her Library as I am sure she would enjoy reading it too; unforunately the Library did not have it which surprised me.
LOVE! Thank you - so inspiring! The comment on shells being "gods sculpture." So thankful that her daughter has done such an amazing ob of taking care of this beautiful legacy from her mother.
JUST LOVE LOVE 💕 THIS GARDEN!!!!! I REMEMBER YOU AND HAVE HER VIDEO, REBECCA’S GARDEN 🪴 LOVE 💕 THAT VIDEO, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR MOTHER’S GARDEN AGAIN!!!!!!
Well, the house was acquired and the garden created so very long ago. It would not be same now. I believe Mr. Whaley was an attorney, so they probably did alright. It is an exceptional garden, as Mrs. Whaley was an exceptional person, and her daughter, Mrs. Cornwell, gets many accolades for preserving the Loutrel Briggs design and making the garden accessible. Mrs. Whaley has influenced many many gardeners throughout the country by so generously sharing her garden and its story.
