It’s for good reason that Charleston is known as “a city set in a garden.” During the 63rd annual Festival of Houses & Gardens, the owners of some of Charleston’s treasured historic gardens throw open the wrought-iron gates and invite visitors to stroll through their private gardens. During each three hour period, visitors may visit eight to ten of Charleston’s “secret” gardens. There’s a different street every day, including Meeting Street, Church Street, Legare, and Rutledge Avenue.Photo: Meeting Street WisteriaOne of the oldest wisteria vines in Charleston blooms annually at 54 Meeting Street, across the street from the Nathaniel Russell House.
