Charles Towne Landing Gardens are located in Charleston, South Carolina. This is the original site of Charleston, where settlers first landed. It is now a state park that contains a zoo, freshwater lagoon, 80 acres of English park gardens, trails, and a 1670 Experimental Crop Garden.
The zoo is home to the animals the original settlers encountered, including pumas, bison, alligators, black bears, otters, bobcats, and wolves. The Experimental Crop Garden (which is what will be growing in the above picture later in the season), includes indigo, rice, sugar cane, and cotton.
There's another interesting thing to see on the grounds: The Adventure - a life-size replica of a typical trading ship docked on Old Town Creek.
The park is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
That sounds like a great place to visit. And something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI think the ship is pretty cool.
DeleteI love Charleston. Was supposed to visit last May, but alas - pandemic. Someday - hope to visit again and this place sounds like it's worth a whole day.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, you'll get there once the pandemic is over.
DeleteHi Sherry - it'd be interesting to see this garden ... especially the experimental crop garden - stay safe - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks. You, too!
DeleteThey have a zoo? They will be on my list to visit next time we hit Charleston.
ReplyDeleteThis wouldn't be too far from you.
DeleteI wonder if there is an older garden in North American than the 1670 one?

I'm not sure. I Googled it, and the oldest garden in the US is listed at Bartram Garden in Philadelphia. But that was begun in 1728.
DeleteVery interested article ! ❤️❤️❤️ Have a great weekend! 💕💕💕
ReplyDeleteThanks! You, too!
DeleteCONTACT DR. DAVID NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
ReplyDeleteAfter being in a relationship with MARTINS for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr DAVID So i email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made a promise that anybody I know that has a relationship problem, I would be of help to such a person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: awesomespelltemple@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +2347040654140 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.
