- Welcome to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Magnolia has been selected as one of "America's Most Beautiful Gardens" (Travel + Leisure Magazine), and is the only garden honored with this distinction in the State of South Carolina!
Founded in 1676 by the Drayton family, Magnolia Plantation has survived the centuries and witnessed the history of our nation unfold before it from the American Revolution through the Civil War and beyond. It is the oldest public tourist site in the Lowcountry, and the oldest public gardens in America, opening its doors to visitors in 1870 to view the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants in its famous gardens. So join us here at Magnolia Plantation to experience the beauty of its gardens and its rich history today.
This has been on my family forever. I am a member through the guild. I live very near. And Tom and I came here romantically.
I feel so blessed to live only 20 minutes from Magnolia. We have been members for over 20 years.
Why blessed?
@@calaragazza3556 Fortunate to live in such proximity to such beautiful grounds. Any other questions?
Our favorite vacation spot!
Thank god i was born in this era.
I have visited Magnolia Plantation many times....It is a MUST SEE plantation for the entire family to enjoy....Spectacular!
Did you visit the slave quarters?
@@calaragazza3556 Why, naturally. It's always nice to see where the Help lives.
I was married there almost 3 years ago. The pictures were magical. Amazing vegetation. I would recommend doing this. We stayed at the French Quarter Inn Amazing several free Champagne bottles chocolates and cigars. Tempest seafood tower at Tempest. The landing...man I miss Charleston.
Beautiful places
I have a wonderful picture of myself and my dad and step mother right there
We thought about going to Magnolia last week when we were in Charleston, but there seemed to be an add-on fee for just about everything...$20 to get in and then another $10 for the tram ride, $10 to enter the house, $20 for the slave quarter tour. It all added up quickly and I have a hard time reconciling a petting zoo with slave quarters. We opted for the McLeod Plantation tour, which is run by the county. Emphasis is strictly on history. So if you want flowers, go to Magnolia. If you want history, other choices available.
When I went they offered a “self guided tour” we did pay the 10 to go inside but every historical part of the plantation has plaques and a lot of other reading that tells you about the history. You can walk in the slave quarters and I believe if I recall correctly there was even native burial mounds there. I’m sorry you had such an awful experience there but going they do have ample reading on the history. It is weird they focus mostly on the gardening and nature side of things though I will say
BEAUTIFUL
So much for the good ole days. I could have been the boss.
I was just in South Carolina last week, In Charleston I wanted to see this Plantation
But my daughter said it was 4 miles from Charleston?
idk how I landed here
What such a beautiful place to remind us of the hardships that Black people had to endure when they were brought over to this country. Y’all are so thoughtful 😒
De tras de esa belleza ubo asesinatos esclavitud y sancle donde todos los esclavos sufrieron por culpa del dueño que orgullo ni que nada tierra podrida
How is the blooming in August? I plan on making a visit.
Not a lot bloomed right now. We just went there yesterday 8/11/2018. Had a great time. I would recommend going toward the first or middle of June.
Feb is when they bloom.. My family lives there
How many hours to visit plantation on my own?
I don't know who is more crazy the home owner or the people trying to clean it
My name is Charleston to
When's the best time to see the colors of the gardens?
I have been many times and the spring is probably the best! April. It is breathtaking and takes the whole day!
I love plantation. I think they are awesome. I love the pillars in the front before u go inside and the insides as spectacular as I dreamed it would be awesome as usual they had slaves to do the hard work. I would have never would lasted for what the slaves indure
This make me wanna buy the house n invite the hood over
Y’all really glorifying a plantation?💀💀💀💀
I'm saying😂😂
@@jarellsmalls3702 chyyyyyy…….
I've never understood it either. And that southern drawl.... not for me
Slaves had a lot of talent
Gohst
I love being white
I bet
I love being biracial, Jewish and a proud black trans woman.
I wish I were white
Why is this place glorified and celebrated... it’s a site where crimes against humanity took place at.
People are sick
Interestingly, if colonial slave owners hadn't bought African slaves from AFRICAN SLAVE OWNERS and brought them to the U.S., there wouldn't be any Blacks in this country at all (well, besides immigrants).
Plantations are where our country's greatest leaders lead cultivated lives with the help of a lower class who were nonetheless cherished and lives. Slavery was inherited from centuries of African tradition. In fact, Africa is the only continent where people are still killed due to their skin color (see Rwanda, black on black crime).
I dare say, with rates of Black homicide, poverty, incarceration, drug use, etc., these slaves may have lived better lives than most of the free black populace in modern day!
Virtue signaling liberal.
@@fitzwilliamdarcy5263 well said
Bull. Those so called "slave" quarters were built in the early 1960's.
Can u elaborate on this please
@@mollymullinix1220 There are still a few people born and raised on Magnolia Gardens property that no longer live there but still work there. My father worked at Magnolia Gardens at the time the cabins were built and many families still lived there through 1989.
@@yvonnephillips3888wth still lived in the cabins slaves lived in ?!??
Despicable

With all due respect...
Get over it.
Jeff Legg Tell that to the jews
Enough already. It's beautiful. You are despicable or just jealous.
@@BetsyH I think she is both!
@@IndigoChild007 what have we ever complained about? And yes, I am a biracial Jewish proud black trans woman.
Yea but the sad history of slavery there cancels out any physical beauty. No thanks.
