We spot culinary gardener, Zac, in the November/December issue of Triangle Gardener! One of Fearrington’s talented gardeners, Helen Yoest, contributed her knowledge of weaving wattle. Check out the excerpt below and don’t forget to pick up a free copy of Triangle Gardener to see the full piece!

“I have the good fortune to work with Zac Hackney, culinary gardener at Fearrington Village, in Carrboro. Before Fearrington, Zac was one of the vegetable gardeners at Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello. There, Zac learned the lost art of making wattle, and provided these charming objects for the Charlottesville, VA, living museum. Fearrington Village is now the beneficiary of this craft, and now so are you.”
