Abstract:
Treasures found in Williamsburg and Charleston were expected. What was a pleasant surprise to A.G.L. Hellyer, a horticultural journalist mentioned by the author, was the Orton Plantation, which Wakefield boasted as offering the most beautiful garden in North Carolina. How the lower Cape Fear area and its people contributed to its creation, this was disclosed in the discussion of Brunswick County’s development, pre and post-Colonial days.
