Each neighborhood tour is identified by a central street and includes a selection of private houses, lovely gardens and notable public buildings within walking distance of each other. Architecturally significant structures from Charleston’s prosperous colonial days through the turbulent antebellum period and up to today stand side by side, revealing layers of rich history. Some families have furnished their houses with inherited antiques, others have travelled the world and enjoy displaying their treasured finds, while others prefer contemporary furnishings. Guides are stationed at each tour site to welcome guests and share the stories of those, both free and enslaved, who built the city. It’s time to step beyond the magnificent doorways and garden gates of one of the most enchanting cities in the world and to experience Charleston’s renowned architectural heritage inside and out. Glorious Garden Tours $50 // MARCH 15, 22; APRIL 5, 13, 20; 2-5 PM These walking tours are arranged so guests may stroll leisurely through approximately eight private gardens. Guides are stationed at each location to provide information about garden design, plant material and history. Colorful blooms are found in many of Charleston’s spring gardens, while others display elegant, limited palettes of green and white. Scale and proportion are deftly used to compliment each house, whether it boasts a small courtyard space or a long series of garden rooms. In addition to frequently favored plants, such as azaleas, camellias, climbing roses and tea olives, look for masonry walls, wrought iron gates, parterres edged with boxwood, water features, statues and garden “rooms” with slight but changing elevations as you stroll through a selection of sophisticated Charleston gardens. Each Glorious Gardens tour includes a wine reception in the garden of the Nathaniel Russell House Museum, 51 Meeting Street, from 4-5 pm.
