Cypress Gardens, Botanical garden and butterfly house in Moncks Corner, US
Cypress Gardens is a botanical garden and nature preserve with swamps filled with old cypress trees and other native plants in South Carolina. The site features a butterfly house, pools with fish and turtles, and boat tours through the watery woodlands.
The property began in the 1930s as a place to show visitors the region's native plants and waterlands. Over time it grew and now serves as an educational center for learning about local nature.
