Edisto Memorial Gardens

The Edisto Memorial Gardens is located in Orangeburg, SC.

It is known for its award winning roses and gorgeous cypress trees.

There are currently 79 rose beds.

4,800 rose plants.

The colors, shapes and sizes vary greatly.
The garden is here to honor those who fought in the 1st and 2nd World Wars, Korean War, and the Vietnam Conflict from the Orangeburg area.

This does not quite show the vastness of roses but it is a sea of bushes behind me!
The park runs along the Edisto River adding natural beauty.
There are bronzed statues to bring a smile to visitors faces.
I am not sure what the girls are up to, but the boy is definitely skipping rocks.

We witnessed a frog preparing to sunbathe.
Here one can also enjoy a butterfly garden, a serenity garden and a sensory garden.
There are boardwalks to avoid the mud when wet.
Plenty of spaces for picnics among the cypress trees.
I hope you enjoyed this visit to the gardens.

 If you go:
200 Riverside Dr SW, Orangeburg, SC 29115

Open daily free of charge. 7am - 7pm. 

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

    Edisto Memorial Garden looks like a lovely place to visit. Its collection of roses is particulary impressive. How lovely that it hosts so many roses. The statues looks lovely as well.

    I love those statues! I would love to pull some metal pieces together and do another welding project but they would NEVER be anything like those! And speaking of roses, I got the most beautiful ones yesterday. I am amazing friends and they show me in some of the sweetest ways that they love me.

    Looks like a really nice place. While I was looking I was thinking also about a similar type of garden at least the roses part....in Riverside and then I get to the end and see the address is on Riverside drive.. sync wink...anyway - a serenity garden, a sensory garden...interesting.
