Gardens are an integral part of the Charleston lifestyle, and right now we are in one of those wonderful shoulder seasons where sitting outside in your Charleston garden is absolute perfection. Above, a moment in the wonderfully private garden at 15 Orange Street. Today it is 70 degrees and sunny, with a light breeze from the north. Sounds pretty enticing doesn’t it? A wonderful opportunity to sit outside and enjoy that warm late fall sunshine with a glass of sweet tea.

If that sounds like your “cup of tea,” Carriage Properties has some listings that feature beautiful Charleston gardens. This one at 16 Queen Street is my favorite. It feels like something out of my dreams, and it is waiting to become a part of your reality.

At 5 Tradd Street you can sit in your garden listening to the soothing sound of this stunning fountain. If I threw a coin in this fountain, I know what I would wish for.

Finally, the garden and beautiful loggia at the newly listed 14 Greenhill Street. South Carolina, or the South of France? This beautiful garden on quiet Greenhill Street has a very European quality to it. Ok, well that’s all for today … we’re headed out into the garden.
