About the Garden
Taking its inspiration from Charleston’s renowned hidden gardens, this garden is designed to capture the spirit, charm and elegance of Charleston, offering a sense of its history, sub-tropical climate and atmosphere.The centrepiece is a scaled-down replica of Charleston’s famous pineapple water feature – a symbol of welcome. It is delineated by symmetrically-placed Liriope muscari. Topiary boxwood balls draw the eye towards the water feature. A pair of lemon trees frame the entrance to the garden.
