For the eighth year, The Garden Conservancy and the Charleston Horticultural Society will open the Holy City's finest private gardens for self-guided tours.
Some of Charleston's beautiful gardens, traditionally hidden behind locked gates or tucked down seemingly unremarkable alleyways, will be open for limited tours on Saturday, May 28th and Saturday, June 4th. Each Saturday tour features seven different private gardens, all within walking distance.
The unique, ticketed experience is made possible by the homeowners who open their garden gates for members of the public to step into their backyards. This year's lineup features two new gardens and three that have not been on display since 2019.
The self-guided nature of these tours allows viewers to take a leisurely look at the gardens. The Charleston Horticultural Society will be overseeing the placement of docents throughout the gardens to help guests make the most of their experience.
Tickets are $85 each. Full details and link to purchase can be found at chashortsoc.org/events or by calling The Charleston Horticultural Society at 843-579- 9922.
