Garden Lights at Middleton Place

One of the Lowcountry’s favorite places hosted a brand event in 2025.

Middleton Place is a Charleston treasure and National Historic Landmark, with its world famous gardens, house and grounds located on the Ashley River.

They’ve created a wonderful new way to see those gardens “in a new light,” during special evenings in February.

Here’s how they describe it:

“Embark on a breathtaking walking journey through glowing pathways and garden rooms.  Guided by the rich history and culture of the South Carolina Lowcountry, the gardens come alive with vibrant hues and thoughtful designs. From the brilliance of Camellia Allée under the night sky to the tranquil reflections in the Sundial Garden overlooking the Ashley River, this immersive art experience is both a celebration of culture and nature and a connection with the past.”
