  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

  • The Camerons at Burnside by Kenneth Mcfarland, Stagville Center, Durham, North Carolina
    Landscape Gardening in Antebellum Hillsborough, North Carolina: The Camerons at Burnside by Kenneth McFarland, Stagville Center, Durham, North Carolina T he Cameron family of Hillsborough and Raleigh owned one of North Carolina's largest plantation holdings, consisting of approximately thirty thousand acres in 1860 . They controlled this agricultural empire chiefly from their home at Fairntosh Plantation in eastern Orange County . The Camerons gardened at Fairntosh as well, but it was at Burnside, the Hillsborough home of Paul and Anne Ruffin Cameron, that the family's gardening interests were most fully realized. Located on the eastern edge of Hillsborough and bordered on the south by the Eno River, the large Burnside tract was ground well situated for such activities . In addition, Moses Ashley Curtis, rector at neighboring St. Matthew's Episcopal Church and one of the region's leading botanists, surely provided both inspiration and advice for his parishioners Paul and Anne Cameron . Their neighbor to the east, Governor William A. Graham, was doubtlessly a source of inspiration as well, the grounds of his home Montrose showing the skilled hand of English landscape gardener Thomas Paxton . Moreover, Anne's father, Thomas Ruffin, North Carolina's chief justice and a respected horticulturist, lived but a short distance away and was in frequent contact with the Camerons . Settling in to full-time residence at Burnside on the eve of the Civil War, Paul and Anne courtesy of Miss Isabelle Webb . Cameron thus had every encouragement as they began Page 11 Nancy Goodwin Recognized Page 12 The Plant Reporter Page 14 Book Review 44450.
