About Christopher Mello
Asheville native Christopher Mello is a passionate gardener and artist. An eccentric genius of garden design, he created the well-known garden at 307 Waynesville Avenue in West Asheville, known about town as “Christopher’s Garden.” His fantasical garden has long been a feature on the West Asheville Garden Stroll and is the subject of Bill Torgerson’s documentary “Yes You May: The Story of Christopher’s Garden.” Christopher has a degree in horticulture from Haywood Community College and has worked on the floral crew at the Biltmore Estate (both in the nursery and in the house) and in the gardens at Chimney Rock State Park. He also assisted with the renovation and recreation of Kenilworth Gardens in Asheville.
