May is the perfect time of year to take a visit to the Brookgreen Botanical Gardens, located in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Known as a cultural center for Myrtle Beach, the gardens are filled with 300-year-old oak trees, sculptures, garden rooms and stunning flower displays. Covering over 9,000 acres, the gardens feature three sections to tour; these include the Sculpture Garden, the Lowcountry Center and the Native Wildlife Zoo. The Sculpture Garden has both indoor and outdoor areas and features over 2,000 works, the largest collection of American figurative sculptures created by 425 artists. The Lowcountry Center is known for its gorgeous open-air courtyard filled with native plants and wildlife sculptures. Additionally, this is where guests can purchase a boat tour to guide them through the historic rice fields, learning about the history of South Carolina’s rice plantations. The Native Wildlife Zoo is home to numerous animals that have been raised in captivity or suffered injuries, preventing them from not being able to survive in the wild.
