The Flower Kingdom of Chick Charlestream in Eagle Bridge
A vivid profile of Chick Charlestream in Eagle Bridge who turns a shed into a Flower Kingdom. He blends horticultural lore with sales talk, painting a sunlit scene of Blooms along River Road and Hoosie River, where his plants sprawl across fences and ground.
