Cypress Gardens, Botanical garden and park in Berkeley County, South Carolina.
Located in South Carolina's Lowcountry, Cypress Gardens spans a network of paths through blackwater swamps where native plants and cypress trees grow in still waters.
Founded in 1927, this former rice plantation and phosphate mining site transformed into a public garden dedicated to native plants and environmental preservation.
The gardens promote environmental education through exhibits, workshops, and programs that focus on the ecological importance of South Carolina's wetland ecosystems.
Visitors can paddle small boats through the swamp waterways, walk on designated trails, and observe local wildlife from multiple observation points throughout the gardens.
The garden's dark water swamp system has provided settings for multiple film productions, including scenes from The Notebook and Cold Mountain.
