John Viccellio retired after 24 years in the U. S. Navy and began to dig into gardening when he could finally land in one place. He completed the Master Gardener course in 1992 and has since designed and constructed two of his own gardens. He wrote a monthly garden column for ten years and was a regular contributor to Carolina Gardener magazine. John published his first book, Guess What's in My Garden!, in 2014.
He lives in a retirement community in Matthews, NC.
It’s starting to snow as I write. We’re supposed to get a batch of snow, but nothing like the northeast. We will stay warm and won’t tempt the weather…just stay home and enjoy.
Please join me for A Walk in the Garden: a way of sharing gardening observations, spiced I hope with a dash of experience, a dollop of opinion, a slice of irreverence, a spoonful of love for plants, and a cup full of memories.

That looks very cold, so glad it didn’t last long and that you are safely tucked up, keeping warm!

That is certainly not how I imagine Charleston John – I am glad to hear the fountain is flowing again!

Thanks, Julie. We were surprised that it was that cold there when we arrived. You have a picture in your mind and sometimes reality creeps in.
