The Charleston, South Carolina area is a great place to live or have a vacation home. The weather is great, the beaches are fantastic, golf courses are abundant, there are many historical sites, the architecture is unbelievable, the dining is unbeatable, and the people are the friendliest in the country. It is because of these reasons that I believe Charleston SC Real Estate is truly unique. I look forward to helping you with any of your Charleston SC Real Estate needs in Charleston, Berkeley, or Dorchester counties. Today’s article is titled:
Rosebank Farms to Host 4th Annual Johns Island Hydrangea Festival
If you like hydrangeas, then you know the place to be on June 12th and 13th is at Rosebank Farms on Johns Island near the Kiawah Island / Seabrook Island round-about. Rosebank Farms is located about 30 minutes from downtown Charleston.
This popular flower festival celebrates one of the Lowcountry’s most beautiful plants during its peak blooming season. Since last year’s festival, more than 1,200 new plants have been added to the existing 2,000 hydrangeas. Sidi Limehouse is recognized throughout the southeast as an expert grower and knowledgeable professional. He has been growing and propagating hydrangeas since his boyhood on Johns Island.
Schedule of Events
10 AM to 4:00 PM: Visitors may take a leisurely self-guided tour among the several acres of hydrangea gardens. Sidi and local horticulturists will be available to answer questions and provide advice about care, variety and location in other words, all the correct information one needs to become a successful hydrangea grower.
12:00 PM to 1:30 PM: You can enjoy lunch at tables set up next to the hydrangea and rose fields. Sidi’s famous whole hog BBQ, will be served with all the trimmings. Rosebank vegetables, grown for taste (not shelf-life!) will be featured with the BBQ. Cost of the lunch is $12 – advice and tours are free.
Various hydrangea cultivars such as oakleaf, mophead, lacecap and panniculata will be on display. Over 500 established hydrangeas, new and old standby varieties, will be for sale. Hydrangea fans will also enjoy the floral displays designed to show how hydrangeas can be used to decorate the home and table.
In addition to enjoying the culture of hydrangeas, guests will also be able to enjoy the Rosebank Farms rose gardens. The gardens feature more than 300 roses, plus another 80 cutting garden roses from Kordes, all selected for adaptability in the Lowcountry.
The farm also features artwork created by local artists, along with the Johns Island Museum, a 19th century freedman’s schoolhouse with local history dating back to the days when Indians inhabited Johns Island, and don’t forget the barnyard animals; they never disappoint and are always entertaining!
The farm is located at 4455 Betsy Kerrison Parkway on Johns Island, just before the Kiawah Island / Seabrook Island round-about just 30 minutes from downtown Charleston. For further information, call (843) 768-0508 or email@RosebankFarms.com
