“My favorite tree is this Ginko tree at the back door entrance of the Legislative Building on Lane Street. The leaves turn yellow, and it’s gorgeous,” said Dawn Baumgartner Vaughan, Capitol bureau chief and politics reporter.
“I can’t count how often I’ve run by this saucer magnolia in bloom at Duke Gardens. Every time it stops me in my tracks,” said Cathy Clabby, investigations editor.
“It didn’t even take me a full week to fall in love with living in North Carolina. My church, which gathers equally in a dimly lit movie theater and under a gorgeous tree in Coker Arboretum, helped seal the deal. I’m thankful for all the conversations had, songs sung and friendships made underneath its canopy,” said Kimberly Cataudella, service journalism reporter.
Now tell us yours!
