Brookgreen Gardens is located off of Hwy 17 as you go from Charleston to Myrtle Beach, in Murrells Inlet, SC.
The gardens are very expansive and have a large amount of statuary and other artwork. This is a grand place to spend the day as you travel up 17 North. Most of the sculptures are based on Greek and Roman mythology, so it would help if you brushed up on your ancient history to understand the significance of the various peices of artwork.
During the Christmas season, they decorate the grounds with lights and such and it makes for a very interesting evening stroll.
