FOCUS: Brookgreen Gardens offers a magnificent day trip

Staff reports  |  There couldn’t have been much more of a perfect day than a Sunday day trip to Brookgreen Gardens in Georgetown County.  The temperature was mild.  Humidity wasn’t anywhere around.  And the sun shined a penetrating light on scores of statuaries and thousands of flowers that filled the attraction.

Brookgreen Gardens, known as one of the world’s finest outdoor museums of American figurative sculpture, has a stunning collection of more than 2,700 works by 425 artists.

Take a look at some photos below from the Easter visit.  Brookgreen Gardens is about an hour and a half from downtown Charleston.  The ticket price is affordable — $18 per adult — and good for seven days.
