Behind the Garden Gate

Event Details

Join us for one or both of the Behind the Garden Gate garden tours, presented by the Garden Conservancy and the Charleston Horticultural Society.

Walls of entwined ivy, dazzling blooms, and sun-dappled fern fronds abound in Charleston’s botanical sanctuaries. The Garden Conservancy and the Charleston Horticultural Society open the Holy City’s garden gates for self-guided tours of its finest private gardens. Each Saturday tour features seven different private gardens, all within walking distance, promising two weekends full of exploration and beauty in these artfully cultivated spaces.

Click the link below to purchase tickets for either (or both) Saturday May 28th or June 4th. Tours are self-guided. Gardens participating in the tour, along with descriptions and photos, will be announced shortly. Maps and other directions will be announced and distributed in mid-May.
