Brookgreen Gardens Celebrates 80th Anniversary
Brookgreen Gardens in Murrell Inlet, SC, celebrates the 80th anniversary of its founding by adding new special events and a new “walking program†for health conscious visitors. The walking program includes a map and guide with a menu of four walks that range from a quick 15-minute “Zoo Strut†to a 2.7 mile “Beyond the Garden Strollâ€. The maps and guides are available in the Welcome Center and are free with garden admission.
Other 80th Anniversary events this spring include a butterfly talk at 1 p.m., Friday April 1, in the Wall Lowcountry Center and a talk on Saturday, April 2 at 1 p.m. in the Wall Lowcountry Center Auditorium by sculptor-in-residence Greg Wyatt, one of Brookgreen’s 2011 Master Sculptors. On April 16, the sculptor Simon Kogan, who created the 2011 Brookgreen 80th Anniversary Medal, will give a talk at 5:00 in the Wall Lowcountry Center Auditorium. The lectures are free with garden admission.
