DAY 1

Brookgreen Gardens

A quiet walk along Brookgreen’s great alley of live oaks is enough to convince anyone that this is the most inspiring attraction in the Carolinas. Splendor comes in the form of more than 2,000 varieties of native flowers, shrubs and trees spread across 300 beautifully manicured acres. Along winding paths and among pools and fountains, the world’s largest outdoor exhibition of figurative sculpture comes alive each day.

South Carolina has so much to offer visitors, it’s hard to know where to begin to describe its many attractions and amenities. As its east- west borders stretch from the sea to the mountains, the state offers a diverse landscape. South Carolina has always been an ocean playground for weary northern folks who want an escape from winter’s icy blast. For those who play golf, the state is famous for its many courses. It is also one of the choice destinations during the spring when azaleas, wisteria, Carolinian jessamine and other spring flowering bushes and vines turn the state into a flower lover’s paradise.
