Carolina Garden

The Carolina Garden is landscaped with flora common to the Palmetto State. Species represented include hosta, magnolia, daylily, and the palmetto tree. The garden layout is representative of the state’s three primary regions: Upstate, Midlands, and the Lowcountry. This setting is perfect for weddings, receptions, and parties.
