SC Festival of Flowers

A gift for us, and for the bees! This weekend continues the 41st South Carolina Festival of Flowers in Greenwood, South Carolina. A celebration going on through the month of June, it offers many activities this weekend, including Flower Day, June 21st at the Park Seed Company’s Trial Gardens. These nine-acre gardens feature over 1000 varieties of annuals, perennials, and vegetables. They will be open to the public. Professional horticulturists will give guided tours of their many varieties of beautiful plants at their peak. Park Seed (and Greenwood) is also headquarters to Wayside Gardens, a source for new, unusual, and hard-to-find plants in the mail-order gardening business.

The Festival of Flowers also gives us beach music, jazz, bluegrass performances and much more. You might enjoy the day strolling through one of the beautiful gardens on tour. Interesting topiaries are all around...I love the lion! Check out all the other attractions of the Festival of Flowers.
