Hi Lil,

   I went to South Carolina last spring in late March and was disappointed
   by some of the gardens.  However, I think it depends on what you're
   looking for.  

   I wanted well-labeled plant collections, so the Riverbanks Zoo and
   Botanical Garden[1] were perfect for me.  They had huge collections
   of plants (all well-labeled) covering the full range of plant material.
   And, being a zoo, they had tigers[2] and flamingos[3] too!

   We also went to Magnolia Plantation[4], but it was kind of boring.
   Lots of plants all in a row with no labels.  Azaleas are nice, but
   they grow old fast.

   The other site that we went to was Middleton Place[5].  It's more like
   an unlabeled arboretum, but they had some interesting plants and it
   was a pleasant stroll.  And you have to see the Middleton Oak[6]!

   I hope this hopes at least a little.  :)

Chris
