NORTHWEST CHARLESTON.   This 17th-century plantation has one of the nation's largest collections of azaleas and camellias; plus, a few gardens date back to the 1680s. Two previous main houses were destroyed by fire during a raid by Union troops, and the current house, furnished with period pieces, dates to 1873. The plantation also includes the 60-acre Audubon Swamp Garden with its majestic cypress trees. Children under 6 are not permitted on the House tour.   (© 10Best)

The gardens here are beautiful, especially in winter when camellias are in bloom and in spring when the azaleas are at their peak. (from Southern Living)

Loved the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
The gardens are my favorite part of the experience but also enjoyed seeing the slave cabins and learning their history. The plantation house tour is educational and the Swamp tour was fun; we saw aligators, turtles,heron, egrets,and other wildlife. The nature train and the nature boat were both good ways to see the local wildlife and learn some of the local history. I had a great time and came back again to stroll thru the gardens longer.
