Magnolia Plantation and Gardens



Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is a 400-acre property that was founded in 1678 by the Drayton family. It is Charleston's most visited plantation, and it's easy to see why.  There's a lot there! It's home to America's oldest garden - The Barbados Tropical Garden. Other gardens on the property include a Biblical garden, a topiary garden, a maze of camellias, and a swamp garden that spans 60 acres. Bald Eagles, egrets, otters, and of course, alligators, can be seen in the swamp garden. Visitors can enjoy a variety of bog plants, ornamental grasses, and wildflowers. 

Additional attractions include a petting zoo, Old African American Cabin, and a conservatory.


The gardens are open daily from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The cost of admission for adults is $15.00, and for children, $10.00. There is an additional cost for the plantation house tour, nature boat tour, and the Audubon Swamp Garden. All-inclusive tickets are available, but those are rather costly - $47.00 for adults, $43.00 for children.

  1. That is a lot. But sounds like it would keep you busy for many hours.

  3. For the history, and for those big arching tree branches, it looks well worth the cost of admission.
    Thank you, Sherry. I always enjoy these posts.

  8. Sounds like you could spend several days there in order to see it all. Been a good number of years since we've been to Charleston. I must remember this, as I'm sure we'll be going back. Thanks for the info.
