Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
Houses / Mansions, Gardens / Arboretums, West Ashley
Fodor's Review:
The extensive informal garden, begun in 1685, has evolved into an overflowing collection of plants that bloom year-round, including a vast array of azaleas and camellias. You can take a tram or boat to tour the grounds. Rent a canoe to paddle through the 125-acre Waterfowl Refuge, or explore the 30-acre Audubon Swamp Garden along boardwalks and bridges. You can walk or rent bikes to traverse the more than 500 acres of trails. There are also a petting zoo and a miniature-horse ranch. You can tour the 19th-century plantation house, which originally stood in Summerville. The home was taken apart, floated down the Ashley River, and reassembled here.
