3 YOUR GARDEN ADVENTURE BEGINS! DAY 1: Sunday, March 19 - Arrive in Savannah A welcome dinner featuring Southern cuisine will be hosted by Eve Rickenbaker and Susan McLeod Epstein. Sleep in Savannah DAY 2: Monday, March 20 - Discover the Gardens and History of Savannah Our day begins with a walking tour of historic Savannah and the numerous squares that James Oglethorpe laid out in the 1740 s. We stop along the way and visit the gardens of several historic houses, such as Andrew Low House and the Green-Meldrin house. The Green-Meldrin house was General William Tecumseh Sherman s headquarters when the Federal army occupied Savannah during the Civil War. Along the way, we will hear about the enlightened work of one of the first practicing female landscape architects in the U.S., Clermont Lee. Without Clermont s pioneering ways, many of Savannah s squares may have been lost or fallen into a state of disrepair. No visit to Savannah is complete without a stop at Forsyth Park. We ll have lunch along the way. In the afternoon, visit the garden of the Scarborough House Ships of the Sea Museum. It was built in 1819 for one of the owners of the Savannah, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic. The building was designed by William Jay and is one of the earliest examples of Greek revival architecture in the South. The main garden is typical of a nineteenth century parlor garden. The newest garden, the North Garden, was awarded the 2013 Merit Garden Award by the American Institute of Architects/Georgia. The garden is set up for events and features a citrus grove, a naturalistic garden, a maple grove, vine-covered pergola and a belvedere. We stay in Savannah for the afternoon. You may wish to visit the Historic District and the Riverfront District. Sleep in Savannah DAY 3: Tuesday, March 21 - The Wormsloe Plantation We board our coach this morning for the historic Wormsloe Plantation. The elegant home once belonged to Noble Jones, one of the first settlers of Savannah, who came over from England with General Oglethorpe to establish the Georgia colony in In 1973, the family deeded the majority of the property to the Georgia Heritage Trust Program. It is considered one of the most significant in the history of conservation in America. This afternoon we will have a private garden tour. Gather for an included multi-course dinner this evening. Sleep in Savannah

4 DAY 4: Wednesday, March 22 - Charleston via Charming Beaufort Today, we discover the sophisticated charm of Beaufort, South Carolina. Nestled in the curve of a beautiful bay along the Intra-Coastal Waterway, this historic town offers a unique Lowcountry experience that will leave you with lasting memories of Southern hospitality. We ll also be visiting one of this town s outstanding gardens. We arrive in Charleston in the late afternoon. After checking into our hotel, meet your host and fellow travelers for a multi-course feast at a nearby restaurant. Sleep in Charleston DAY 5: Thursday, March 23 - The Gardens and History of Charleston : After breakfast, meet your guide and host in the hotel lobby for a walking history tour of Charleston, visiting a few of the town s outstanding private gardens along the way. After an independent lunch, board our motor coach for a tour of Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. A representative will greet us and offer us an overview. Return to Charleston in the late afternoon. This evening, enjoy dinner on your own out on the town. Sleep in Charleston DAY 6: Friday, March 24 - The Ashley River Historic Plantations: This morning, we set out to discover the historic Ashley River Plantation District. Our first stop will be Drayton Hall, a property of the National Trust. One of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in America, Drayton Hall was built in 1738 and is the oldest preserved plantation house that is open to the public. Following seven generations of Drayton family ownership, the house remains in nearly original condition and has never been modernized, providing an unmatched look at colonial living and its builders' creative craftsmanship. We will depart in time for a Lowcountry buffet at Middleton Place and a guided tour of the gardens. Middleton Place is a National Historic Landmark. It is a carefully preserved 18 th century plantation that has survived revolution, the Civil War, and earthquake. It was also the home of four important generations of Middleton s, beginning with Henry Middleton, President of the First Continental Congress; Arthur, a signer of the Declaration of Independence; Henry, Governor of South Carolina and an American Minister to Russia; and Williams, a signer of the Ordinance of Secession. Visitors are invited to tour the gardens, the house museum, and the plantation stable yards. Return to Charleston. Dinner is on your own this evening. Sleep in Charleston

5 DAY 7: Saturday, March 25 - The Nathaniel Russell House and Private Gardens: The Nathaniel Russell House is an historic house located in downtown Charleston. It belonged to Nathaniel Russell, a Rhode Island merchant who spent $80,000 on this Adamesque building before He and his wife Sarah lived in the house during the early 19 th century. The house is widely recognized as one of America's most important Neo-classical houses. After our visit we ll set off to discover several rarely seen private gardens.
