Chip Callaway
Chip Callaway is one of those people who may be better-known outside of Greensboro than in the city where he’s lived and practiced his craft since 1980.
When people want to restore historic gardens, whether on Nantucket Island or in Colonial Williamsburg or at tony Palm Beach, Callaway often gets the call.
The renowned landscape architect, whose online photo gallery depicts garden projects in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, is the subject on a lengthy feature in the current issue of Garden & Gun, a South Carolina-based “Southern lifestyle magazine that’s all about the magic of the new South.”
Callaway lives and works in Fisher Park where, according to an online bio, “Callaway gardens on the grounds of his two, turn-of-the-century bungalows. He uses one house as his residence and the other as his office. As a happy circumstance, when he bought the houses, he was unaware that one of them was a childhood home of one of his mentors, legendary botanist William Lanier Hunt, after whom the botanical garden at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is named.”
