The beauty that a home and a garden possess is truly a sight to behold. A beautiful and well-kept garden takes time and effort to cultivate and a keen sense to flower and color details is needed to make it look attractive. It is for this reason that homeowners extend their doors to visitors who would like to marvel at the beauty of their surroundings.

The Garden Club of Charleston holds a house and garden tours each spring for its members and other participants. The tour will include a visitation of Charlestons historic and magnificent homes and their gardens. Fine and awesome flower arrangements by the club members adorn these beautiful historic homes. The owners of these homes have graciously opened their doors for the garden club and its visitors to see.

The House and Garden Tours possess strict regulations that should be observed during the duration of the tour. Children below 12 years old are not allowed since the travel could not make them comfortable. Children also tend to be playful and the club does not want to them to break anything in this private homes. A comfortable clothing and pair of walking shoes or sandals are recommended because of the spring temperature in South Carolina which is humid. The participants will walk on streets lined with bricks and cobblestones that is why high heels are not advisable.
