Explore Magnolia: The Lowcountry’s Premier Garden Experience

Nestled in the heart of the Lowcountry, Magnolia is a living testament to centuries of horticultural tradition and natural beauty. Known for its breathtaking river views, vibrant plant displays, and historic landscapes, Magnolia offers visitors a garden experience that captures the essence of the region’s rich botanical legacy.

The gardens feature sweeping river vistas, ancient camellias, and majestic live oaks draped in Spanish moss, creating a sense of timelessness throughout the grounds. The oldest section of the garden, located at Flowerdale—a small remnant of the original formal plantings beside the first Magnolia house—serves as a quiet reminder of the site’s long and storied past.

Open year-round, Magnolia showcases seasonal displays that change with the landscape. In early winter, the garden’s renowned camellia collection begins to bloom, bringing color to the cooler months. Spring transforms the grounds with the vibrant bloom of azaleas, offering an unforgettable floral display.

Summer brings lush layers of daffodils, roses, hydrangeas, magnolias, and gardenias, filling the garden with rich color and fragrance. In autumn, the leaves of Japanese maples, sweetgums, bald cypresses, and black tupelos turn fiery shades, offering a striking close to the year.

There’s something for everyone at Magnolia. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape, a connection with nature, or inspiration from one of the Lowcountry’s most historic landscapes, Magnolia offers an experience unlike any other. Come explore the beauty, history, and quiet wonder that have made it a cherished destination for generations.
