THE COVINGTON NEWS
GARDEN CLUB
NEWS
Continuation of splendid
weather —a benevolent sun
and cooling, gentle winds —
has assured this being the fin
est and lengthiest season of
blossoms for Charleston’s Fam
ous Gardens in years.
C. Norwood Hastie, Jr., pro
prietor of Magnolia Gardens
and spokesman for the owners
of Middleton Place and Cy
press Gardens, said the blooms,
made hardy by having with
stood an exceptionally bitter
winter, should last almost in
definitely if the weather re
mains good.
“I’ve never seen anything
like it,” Mr. Hastie said yester
day. “It’s as though everything
has conspired to make condi
tions exactly right for the gar
dens.
"They’re prettier this year
than I have ever seen them.”
Cypress Gardens, noted for
the beauty of its unusual, ebony
lakes, offers a profusion of
azaleas unmatched in the low
country. Giant cypress trees,
their branches draped in Span
ish moss, rise eerily from the
black waters. The paths which
wind about the lakes are bank
ed with a stunning array of
color.
Magnolia Gardens, a Mecca
for botanists and flower lovers
across the nation, is most noted
for its variety of spring flow
ers. Lying along the banks of
the Ashley River, the broad ex
panse of its grounds has been,
through the years, a paradise
for lovers of nature.
Middleton place, America’s
finest formal garden, pre-dates
the Revolution. It is considered
by landscape architects superi
or, even, to comparable gar
dens in England and on the
Continent.
Magnolia Gardens and Mid
dleton Place are off Highway
61, the scenic route between
Charleston and Summerville.
Cypress Gardens lie off High
way 52, north of the city.
Charleston’s Famous Gar
dens are open each day from
8 a.m. to dusk.
