Middleton Place Gardens

Search Charleston South Carolina

Surrounding the former home of Henry Middleton, President of the First Continental Congress, the gardens reflect the elegant symmetry of 17th century European design. Rare camellias bloom in the winter and azaleas blaze on the hillside above the Rice Mill Pond in the spring. In summer, kalmia, magnolias, crepe myrtle and roses accent a landscape magnificent throughout the year. Paths lead from the Reflection Pool, past the ancient Middleton Oak and the family tomb to the House.
