About us
Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, on the banks of the Ashley River near Charleston, is the Lowcountry’s oldest public attraction. It is a phenomenal horticultural destination, a significant historic and cultural site, and a place of unparalleled natural beauty. Magnolia’s celebrated gardens, which were designed and planted in the mid-nineteenth century, opened to the public in the years immediately following the Civil War. Since then, countless visitors have wandered these paths beneath ancient oak, cypress and magnolia trees festooned with Spanish moss. In late winter, the camellias bloom; Magnolia has thousands of specimens, many of which were cultivated on site. In spring, the blackwater lagoons reflect masses of azaleas, lilies, daffodils, and wisteria; fall brings the smaller but no less lovely Camellia sasanqua, and summer is when the crape myrtle, hydrangeas, and hibiscus come into their own. In every season, the gardens are captivating.

I just wrapped up a three-day trip through the Lowcountry sharing the The University of South Carolina Press fall 2024 catalog with booksellers in dedicated bookstores and gift shops, and other allies of independent publishing. Great to visit with folks at Beaufort Bookstore, Charleston Magazine, Middleton Place Foundation, Coastal Discovery Museum, Buxton Books, Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, Drayton Hall Preservation Trust, Itinerant Literate Books, and the list goes on!(Almost 30 points of sale; SC is rich in book culture.) Grateful to have so many wonderful partners and visits across the rest of the state are still to come. #publishing #regionaleconomicdevelopment #partnerships HT Dianne Wade for the photos!

I’m excited to share another career milestone! 🌟 As the driving force behind our rebranding efforts, I had the privilege of creating new billboard signs along the iconic Highway 61 in Charleston, SC, showcasing the enchanting beauty of Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, one of the Lowcountry's beloved tourist destinations. It's incredibly rewarding to see this project come to life, especially considering the previous signs stood tall for over two decades. 🚗💨 #MagnoliaMoments
