Formed in 1931 by Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington as a non-profit organisation, to preserve the native flora and fauna and display objects of art within that setting.

It is one of the country's leading cultural and educational institutions and a National Historic Landmark.

Entrance to the gardens is by a weekly ticket so
be sure to visit Brookgreen at the beginning of
your stay in order to make the most of it.
There is too much to see in one visit.

We have visited the gardens at various times
of the year and there is always something of
interest regardless of season.

The perfect retreat for a quiet afternoon tea or perhaps a cold drink on a hot day.

One of our favourite moments was the Sunday afternoon boat ride which takes you along the inland waterways and talks about the history of the rice plantations in the area.

Nights of a thousand candles shows the gardens in a new light and provides much entertainment including carol singers in traditional costume and other live entertainment.

You will get up close and personal with a variety of herons, egrets, Ibis and other wetland birds and you cannot fail to be moved by the majesty of the birds of prey in the Raptor aviary.

In addition to the birdlife you will also see otters, alligators, wild fox and if you are lucky you will see a herd of deer.
