Several thematic gardens arranged in a succession of outdoor rooms makes this complex a plant-lover's paradise. The Cottage Garden has many hard-to-find heirloom plants, the Four Seasons Garden highlights form and foliage for year-round appeal, and the Canal Garden features color in changing displays of perennials and annuals. The garden's location on Lake Wylie includes 100 developed acres and some 300 more acres under development.
