Brookgreen Gardens Day Trip - May 18th, 2023
After numerous trips during December of 2022 to Brookgreen Gardens for the annual Night of A Thousand Candles, many asked for a return trip to the Gardens, located just south of Myrtle Beach, during the spring. The trip is being offered on May 18th! This trip is sold out but please consider taking a look at the day trip to Lavender Oaks Farm as an alternative.
Brookgreen Gardens is America’s first public sculpture garden, established by wealthy Industrialist, Archer Huntington and his acclaimed sculptor wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington. Located on the site of former rice plantations, Brookgreen melds the sculpture with a premier garden, a highly accredited zoo of native wildlife and a National Historic Landmark. The day begins with a guided tour with narrative about the history, the sculpture and the flora and fauna. Following the tour, we enjoy a box lunch before allowing time in the afternoon for further exploration. Visit the zoo for an education about native animals such as Bald Eagles, River Otters, Owls and Egrets. Enjoy the daily "Whispering Wings Butterfly Experience". Become moved by the stories of the enslaved people who worked the rice plantations along the Low Country Audio Tour Trail. Cruise the rice field creeks in a pontoon boat tour for interpretation of the plantation life and perhaps sightings of wildlife OR simply return to the sculpture garden for more in depth viewing of the art and blooms. There is so much to see and enjoy during this day trip!
The cost of the trip is $96 and has two departure locations, one in Wilmington and one in Leland.
