South Carolina Botanical Gardens

Get your walking shoes on because today you'll want to follow in our footsteps. We visited the South Carolina Botanical Gardens on the grounds of Clemson University. Luckily the weather cooled down and made our trek through the various sections so much more enjoyable. The gardens encompass 295 acres; we didn't see it all but we did make a small dent on many of the trails.











Truly a garden worth visiting if you are in the area.  Along the many paths we had the pleasure of viewing several nature based sculptures. Also within the garden confines is the Fuller Gallery and Gift shop with it's own gardens including a reflecting garden and the Bob Campbell Geology Museum which houses an impressive array of rocks, minerals, fossils, lapidary objects, gems, geodes, mining artifacts and more along with interactive displays and a research library.  The gardens and art gallery were free and the geology museum had a $3 entrance fee. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
