May 13, 2020 – The crew of Kissed Some Frogs, who we’d originally met last May in Norfolk, recently completed their Loop and returned home to Murrells Inlet and took on the role of Harbor Hosts for that area. A few weeks ago, they posted on the AGLCA forum that something was OPEN, there was SOMETHING TO SEE!
We reached out to them as we got close, and they were nice enough to offer us their truck to go to the store, and to visit Brookgreen Gardens.
Brookgreen Gardens is a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve, founded by Archer Milton Huntington, stepson of railroad magnate Collis Potter Huntington, and Anna Hyatt Huntington, his wife. It opened in 1932, and is built on four former rice plantations, taking its name from the former Brookgreen Plantation. (See official website here)
The gardens and sculptures were really quite spectacular, and it’s easy to see why our friends are members there; there is so much to see that the few hours we spent just scratched the surface.
And in addition to the massive scale of the gardens and sculptures, there was a special exhibition of miniature paintings. Amazingly tiny pieces, with detail that needs a magnifying glass to appreciate.
