In April a planning committee of the Kershaw County Historical Society visited the spacious and beautifully revived landscaping of an historic garden of winding woodland paths on an artfully terraced hillside that slopes beside an early ninteenth-centuty plantation home, The Terraces. Today a private residence, it is less than 10 minutes from downtown Camden in the Rembert community.
“You just missed the blooming of the 100-year-old azaleas,” we were told. As we noted countless other varieties of unfolding spring plants and foliage, we also learned that in May quite a number of other blooms would appear beneath the arboral greenery. Yearlong, a compatible mixture of historic and recent plantings provides an everchanging tapestry of nature to enjoy.
Recently, additional information. was emailed to KCHS members and interested persons who had supplied email addresses.
