We spent almost a full day walking around this park and I know we didn’t see everything. It’s full sculptures, over 2,000! Check out the BLOG

Entrance statue right on Hwy 17

We walked in from the campground….mistake! From the site to where the gardens actually began it was a 2 - 3 mile walk, then we still had to walk around and walk back. Exhausted by the end of the day.

You can’t tell from the picture but these massive oak trees had thousands of christmas lights wrapped around them and hanging down. Must be georgeous at night.

Live oak alley. Again, thousands of lights

The trees are huge

This section of the gardens had all kinds of different sculptures housed in it.

They also had a little zoo with local animals, housed within the park….kinda sad but this little napping fox was cute.

They also had an avairy with local birds in it that you could walk thru...

It was a bit odd to be trapped in here with all the birds, who weren’t small either.

Not sure what they are but they were making a lot of noise.

They have these two long feathers on their heads too…..going to have to figure out what they are because we’ve also seen a couple in the wild within the park we’re camping in.
