About the event
South Battery Garden Delight
Part of Open Days 2026 - purchase à la carte
Saturday, May 30, 10 am to 3 pm
This mid-19th-century colonial revival house, with recent piazza additions, is surrounded on three sides with gardens designed in 2020 by noted Charleston landscape architect Sheila Wertimer.
You are greeted by an allée of eight dahoon hollies in boxwood-edged beds with seasonal plants. A large live oak tree provides shade over a bevy of holly ferns. The first-floor piazza provides an inviting space for entertaining and viewing of the gardens. Descending from the piazza to the rear pool garden, one passes through an allée again of Washingtonia palms underplanted with Farfugium ‘Giganteum,’ African iris, and ferns.
