The 'royal we' with Rob and Kevin
During our spring break a month or so ago, we em
barked on a journey that was out of our normal rou
tine. While many of you were frolicking (or stumbling)
about on some beach or ski slope, we opted to visit
something a bit more reserved and tranquil. A few
miles up the road from our hometown of Georgetown
lies a place with beauty that easily outshines any shop
ping center, amusement park or beach strand av
enue. Brookgreen Gardens is one of the premier parks
in South Carolina, the Southeast or even the world.
Seriously, there are few places in the world quite like
this one, and we decided there’d be no belter way to
relax over break than to visit this hidden treasure of
the coast. \Nfe call it hidden because practically no one
knows about this place. That, in our opinion, is a trav
esty.
In this special edition of Encore!, we hope to show
just how astounding the collection of sculptures, po
etry and botanical oddities Brookgreen has on dis
play really is. Several of the most interesting, beauti
ful and sometimes puzzling sculptures were selected
out of the many monuments to give you a glimpse of
what these gardens have to offer. Goddesses, immor
tals and many other legends have been captured for
ever in the bronze, marble, aluminum and gold works
that stand within the garden’s shady, moss-covered
canopys.
We invite you to put aside a few minutes of your
hectic schedules, sit down and enjoy a sample of what
we consider to be one of the most awe-inspiring places
in the state. And maybe you’ll be taken up by the urge
to visit this place of wonder and enchantment the same
way we were. But don’t just take our words for it. We’ll
let the garden and one of its most famous poems speak
for themselves. The following piece was written by
Archer Milton Huntington. As husband of artist An
na Hyatt Huntington (who has some pieces showcased
in these pages), he and his wife provided most of the
groundwork and inspiration for these gardens. Perhaps
this poem gives a bit of insight into the original spirit
of this hidden gem of the Eastern Seaboard.
“ The Silver Gardens"
Gray oaks of mystery!
Beneath their cloister arches in pale rose
The morning creeps, Epiphany of day,
• Filling the breathing depths with prophecy.
In lambent light and lyric prepanttion
To raise again the holy hymn of dawn.
A thousand choristers,
Intone their endless canticles of birth.
By flowered founts of woven shadows luring.
Haunted of footfalls of the fox and fawn.
Here loves chill not the hands that reach to
them,
As roses of renown sling in the gathering.
Come to the silvergardens of the South,
Where whisper hath her monarchy, and winds
Deftly devise live tapestries of shade,
In glades of stillness patterned.
And where the red-bird like a sanguine stain.
Brings Tragedy to Beauty.
We hope you enjoy this peek into the world of
Brookgreen Gardens.
