Chip Callaway Lecture Series

Chip Callaway has given much of his time and creative talent to Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden from its inception. A long -time friend of Paul Ciener, Chip has been involved with carefully planning, expanding the vision and designing many of the Garden’s displays. We want to thank  this extraordinary man for his generosity by naming our lecture series in his honor.

 

Chip is the President and CEO of Callaway & Associates, specializing in garden restorations, and landscape designs. A Master of Landscape Architecture, he has been involved with historic garden restorations all over the East Coast. Chip is also involved with symposiums, has sat on numerous garden boards, and has been featured in magazines such as Southern Living and the Washington Post.
