"...Brookgreen provides an unusual opportunity for a survey of just about every major American representational sculptor of the last century and a half."

There are more than 9,000 acres in Brookgreen's total property and is made up of four rice plantations. There are more than 550 works of art in the garden by more than 240 artists. The majestic live oaks in the gardens are approximately 250 years old. Since opening to the public in 1932, Brookgreen Gardens has cultivated its tradition of welcoming visitors to the tranquil beauty and incomparable collections of sculpture, plants and animals. It is truly the place where art meets nature."
