Brookgreen Gardens now adorns more than 400 acres of gardens and facilities with more than 2,000 works of art. A National Historic Landmark, Brookgreen Gardens' staff and volunteers educate guests on the property’s plantation history and the gardens’ evolution during seasonally shifting programs, exhibitions, and tours. The Lowcountry History exhibit chronicles the narrative of the land from Native American occupation through the present, archaeological sites unearth information about life on rice plantations, and the zoo beckons the intellectually curious with its native wildlife.
