Cypress Gardens

	Map		Reviews

Cypress Gardens is located approximately 24 miles north of Charleston, SC, USA. The Gardens, known as the Gem of Berkeley County, offers visitors the rare experience of being one with nature as they explore the swamp on flat bottom boats, or by walking on a variety of nature trails.

Visitors are surprised and amazed at the beauty and serenity of the cypress swamp. The Gardens were once a part of Dean Hall Plantation. Rice cultivation began around 1720 using the "inland"method. The old Rice reservoir is now referred to as the Cypress Gardens Swamp. In 1909 Dean Hall Plantation was purchased by Bejamin R. Kittredge as a hunting preserve. In 1927 he cleared trails in the Bald Cypress swamp and planted thousands of azaleas, camellias, tea olives, winter daphne, and daffodils. Cypress Gardens was opened to the public in 1932. Boat rides were an immediate attraction.
