Tour a Shade Garden in Charleston

The soothing sounds of flowing water in this charming water feature accent longtime gardener Patti McGee's exquisite shade garden in the heart of Charleston. McGee's spectacular garden has been featured in Charleston's annual garden tour "Behind the Garden Gate," a partnership between Spoleto Festival USA, Garden Conservancy Open Days Program and the Charleston Horticultural Society.

Stones and succulents add color and texture to this Charleston walled garden water feature.

Shelter plants inside in containers and then arrange them in informal groupings outdoors when the weather heats up. Charleston gardener Patti McGee has chosen a predominate color theme of jade to give a sense of harmony to her containers.
