Brookgreen Gardens by hjbenson

Brookgreen Gardens

We went down to Murrells Inlet to Brookgreen Gardens. It is a sculpture and floral garden of amazing beauty. It was founded in 1931 by the Archer and Anna Huntington. Anna Hyatt Huntington http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Hyatt_Huntington was a sculpture and this is one of her Diana pieces at the Garden - she has three Diana sculptures on display at various parts of the Garden. Brookgreen Gardens has its own website at http://www.brookgreen.org/ Best viewed large Completely sooc
