Magnolia’s new children’s garden gets a gift from Bailey Nurseries
April 16, 2018
Magnolia Plantation and Gardens will start work on Thursday, April 19 to create a new children’s garden, a place where young minds can explore the outdoors and learn the value of protecting the environment.
A corps of Magnolia volunteers, master gardeners from Clemson University’s Extension Service and students from West Ashley High School will plant 100 specially bred hydrangea in the new garden that will evolve into a 20-acre youth complex with a campground and butterfly garden.
Developed by Bailey Nurseries, based in Newport, Minn., the hydrangea will bloom from spring to fall. Bailey Nurseries will deliver the hydrangea to Magnolia during its national campaign, “The Life in Full Bloom Tour.” The tour through Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Washington, D.C., features Bailey’s best-selling Endless Summer® garden hydrangea. Magnolia, America’s oldest garden, is the only South Carolina garden that is being gifted with these plants.
