Add a little Veranda magazine style to your entertaining with tips and secrets from one of media’s leading authorities at a special luncheon March 27, 2008, benefiting the not-for-profit Ida Cason Callaway Foundation™.
This “Let Nature Make Your Day” luncheon will feature Tom Woodham, senior editor of Veranda magazine, speaking on “Entertaining Veranda Style.”
Woodham traveled the world styling and photographing homes and gardens and shares his experiences through enlightening lectures and articles. Serving as both the garden editor and senior editor at the esteemed interior design magazine, Veranda, he has contributed to books, magazines and newspapers locally and internationally.
Woodham earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Clemson University, which honored him with its Centennial Distinguished Alumni Award. For two decades he helped plan some of Atlanta’s most prestigious charity galas. A native South Carolinian, his current passion is restoring Hanoway, his ancestral home and farmstead.
His expertise in home and garden subjects, enthusiastic presentations and a genial personality have made Woodham a favorite on the garden, design and antiques show lecture circuit. A worldwide traveler, he is personable, knowledgeable, engaging and a great storyteller, teacher and listener.
In addition, the mother and daughter team-authors of Private Gardens of Georgia, Patty McLeod Mattox and Helen Mattox Bost, will be in attendance. Their book will be available for purchase and autographs.
