Camp Boxwoods—Lights, Camera, Action!

Formal boxwood entry garden — Boxwood entry garden welcomes all.

The Originals—the season finale of the hit show—is being filmed at my friends’ farm in Madison, Georgia. The location director must have been in heaven when he found their farm. The home and gardens are so beautiful already that little work was required. My friends Randy Korando and Dan Belman are the owners of this amazing place. And they also own one of my favorite shopping destinations in Atlanta—Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts. Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows that Boxwoods is my Happy Place, along with several thousand other people in Atlanta who go there to put smiles on their faces and sunshine back in their days.

Have a peek at the making of the show and a few before and afters of the set design. Then click on over for more pictures of the farmhouse in the April issue of Victoria.

  Cathy, This farm is truly an amazing place. It was originally a 1970’s ranch!
