What’s in BloomCharleston, and the surrounding Lowcountry, has been characterized by strong horticultural tradition for the past four centuries. Charlestonians’ horticultural interests have ranged from plantations, which were practical means of survival and wealth, to city gardens, which were aesthetic symbols of gentility and experimentation. That culture is still strong today in a place where countless gardens can be found tucked behind wrought iron gates or stucco and brick walls.

Many Charleston gardens are open to the public at various times of the year, but some of the most spectacular are guarded secrets known only to a few. However, the Charleston Horticultural Society offers a little known opportunity for garden enthusiasts. With two to four weeks advance notice, special tours can be arranged for groups of 12-15 people that provide admittance to gardens never opened to the public. Most are led and interpreted by the owner of the property and give exclusive insight into the rich world of Charleston horticulture.

Tours manager, Susan McLeod Epstein says there is no wrong time to tour Charleston gardens – there is always something in bloom. Spread primarily by word of mouth, her private tours have been given to groups from all over the country.

Founded in 2000, the Charleston Horticultural Society is a non-profit organization with membership open to all. The organization has grown to over 1,300 individual and business members interested in learning about all aspects of horticulture through lectures, a newsletter, educational workshops and special tours. On October 2, the Society will sponsor its Fall “Garden for Gardeners” Tour highlighting twelve Charleston gardens. The tour is self-guided and a docent will be available in every garden to answer questions. To learn more, call 843-579-9922 or visit www.charlestonhorticulturalsociety.org.

Charleston’s historiC Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bom-bardment. over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. to this day, the charming Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Market hall faces Meeting street as the main entrance to four blocks of open-air buildings. one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants have something for every taste. Charleston’s famous carriage tours also de-part from the area. Do not miss browsing through the area and finding that special treasure to remind you of your visit!

Lowcountry Back Roads


The South Carolina Lowcountry’s “real swamp” experience!Travel the Lowcountry back roads to the small town of Harleyville, South Carolina, for an unforgettable adventure for the nature lover. The Audubon Center at Beidler Forest is a little over an hour’s drive from downtown Charleston and easily accessible from I-26.

Dress for the weather, wear your walking shoes and bring your water bottle for an unforgettable glimpse at what our state must have looked like before European colonization.

The National Audubon Society’s Francis Beidler Forest, located in Four Holes Swamp, contains within its 16,000 acres the largest remaining stand of virgin Bald Cypress and Tupelo Gum swamp forest left anywhere in the world. Native wildlife and 1,000 year old trees abound in this pristine sanc-tuary that has been untouched for millennia. A 1.75-mile long self-guiding boardwalk trail allows you the chance to safely venture deep into the heart of the swamp to experience the peace and serenity that have characterized the area for centuries. Four Holes Swamp is a 45,000 acre matrix of black water sloughs and lakes, shallow bottomland hardwoods and is a major tributary of the Edisto River, a part of Charleston’s famous ACE basin.

Beidler Forest was originally established within the swamp to preserve 1,800 acres of old growth swamp forest, one of only two stands of old growth still left in the state. Most of the huge bald cypress in this part of the swamp are in the neighborhood of 1000 years old. The oldest known tree on the sanctuary is 1,500 years old and is the second oldest Cypress that scientists have been able to confirm in the world.

In addition to the boardwalk trail, a visitor center and canoe trail provide a chance to explore deep into the swamp’s interior and to learn of its special nature and the threats it faces. The forest has been visited by people from every state, 20 countries and 6 continents since being opened to the public in 1977, with 10,000 to 12,000 people currently coming each year.

When the sanctuary was first purchased in the late 1960s, it consisted of only 3,415 acres. Over the years, the Audubon Society and The Nature Conservancy have increased the sanctuary to include over 16,000 acres, with plans to continue expanding the protected portions of the swamp. Development from the greater Charleston-area is spreading rapidly west towards the swamp, and the goal is to protect as much of the swamp and its critical upland edge before that development arrives.

There are a variety of natural history walks, programs and canoe trips conducted for adults and families year round. The Visitor Center is open from 9 am-5 pm, Tuesdays through Sundays for general self-guiding boardwalk tours. Call 843-462-2150 or visit www.beidlerforest.com for more information, schedules and rates.

Charleston MuseuM Curator led tour of Battery Pringle

September 30 at 1:30 pmJoin Charleston Museum curator of history, Grahame Long, for a walking tour of Battery Pringle, one of four Confederate fortifications located at the Museum’s Dill Sanctuary on James Island. Located on the Stono River, this battery was the cornerstone of General P.G.T. Beauregard’s “New Lines” constructed in 1863. For ten days in July 1864, Pringle faced multiple Union assaults from both the ground and sea. Despite being undermanned and under-gunned, this earthwork battery proved a formidable defense among the dangerous war zones surrounding Charleston. Archaeological research indicates large numbers of troops remained stationed at Pringle, and the other fortifications on the property, throughout much of the Civil War. Battery Pringle is one of the best-preserved examples of Confederate earthworks extant today.

Participants should be prepared for up to 30 minutes of brisk hiking on occasionally rough terrain. Reservations are required, and tickets are $10 for non-members and $7 for members. Register at www.charlestonmuseum.org or by calling 843-722-2996 x235.

Spotlight on the ArtsTheaTre CharlesTon CelebraTes

live TheaTreIn 1792, the first theatre built in America opened its doors right here in the Holy City. Since then, Charleston’s live theatre scene has continued to thrive and contribute to the Lowcountry’s cultural experience.

Theatre Charleston is a non-profit service organization dedicated to promoting, supporting and advocating Charleston area theatre. With widely diverse offerings including plays, dramas, musical theatre and children’s theatre, there is something for everyone. Charleston’s theatre season runs September through May, leading up to the Piccolo Spoleto and Spoleto U.S.A. Festivals in May and June. However, fantastic live productions can be seen year round, and information on what’s playing throughout the year can be found at www.theatrecharleston.com. This dynamic website also lists information about auditions, classes, jobs, volunteer opportunities and other behind the scenes activities. Brand new this year, you can now buy tickets to your favorite shows directly through the website. The 2011/2012 theatre season looks to be exciting with shows like South Pacific and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at The Footlight Players Theatre, A Streetcar Named Desire and God of Carnage at The Village Playhouse, and Annie performed by The Flowertown Players. Over 70 shows will be produced this season.

Theatre Charleston is gearing up to kick off its 6th season. In just five years of existence the League has helped to grow and enhance Charleston’s theatre community and has already tripled its original membership. At a time when theatres all over the country are closing their doors, and despite the obvious difficulties Charleston holds when it comes to finding affordable performance spaces, Charleston theatre is not just surviving, but growing every day. Travel and Leisure magazine listed Charleston as one of the top ten cities for theatre in 2010.

Theatre lovers can access some exciting programs during the 2011/2012 season, including the popular Season Sampler cards that give access to five shows for only $80. Theatre Charleston will also be participating in the national Free Night of Theatre program again this October.

It’s a wonderful time for theatre in Charleston. Log on to www.theatrecharleston.com and “see a show tonight!”

What’s Cookin’?


Pass the hushPuPPies!Deep-fried and served with seafood, especially fish, hushpuppies are a southern treat with roots that go back to the 16th century when a group of Ursuline nuns in Louisiana were said to have converted cornmeal into a delicious food that they named croquettes de maise. These delicious nuggets are also called corn dodgers, depending on the addition of sugar and/or onions to the batter.

An African cook in Atlanta is said to have given the name hushpuppy to this food. When frying a batch of catfish and croquettes, a nearby puppy began to howl. To keep the puppy quiet, she gave it a plateful of the croquettes and said, “hush, puppy.” The name stuck.

Another story says that during the Civil War, Confederate soldiers would sit beside a campfire preparing their meals. If they detected Yankee soldiers approaching, they would toss their yapping dogs some of the fried cornmeal cakes with the command “Hush, puppies!”

Whatever the origins, hushpuppies have become a favorite Southern side dish. Stop by one of Charleston’s many seafood restaurants and enjoy a sizzling hot basket!

hushpuppies1 cup cornmeal1/4 cup flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup milk1 finely chopped onion1 egg

Mix corn meal, flour, baking powder and salt. Break in egg and start beating. Slowly add milk and beat until it becomes a paste; stir in onions. Drop a gob from a spoon into deep, hot grease. Remove when golden brown.

drayton hallCirca 1738, Drayton Hall is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America still open to the public and the nation’s earliest example of fully executed Palladian archi-tecture. Never modernized with electric lighting, plumbing or central heating or air conditioning, the main house is unfur-nished, allowing the beauty of the archi-tectural details to become the focus for

visitors. Guests will enjoy daily tours and programs, including a professionally guided house tour on the hour; the interactive “Connections: From Africa to America” program presented three times a day; the 18th-century African-American cemetery—one of the oldest documented African-American cemeteries in the

nation still in use; an award-winning “Voices of Drayton Hall” historic grounds tour on DVD; self-paced river and marsh walks and a popular Museum Shop with a collection of signature merchandise inspired by Drayton Hall’s history and architecture.

According to Executive Director, Dr. George W. McDaniel, Drayton Hall is more than a house; it’s a point of introduction to Charleston—to its history, its people, its architec-ture and its landscape. Charleston was, and still is, a major port city, but for it to be suc-cessful, it had to have goods to both export and import, and there’s no better place to be introduced to, and to actually see, those influences of global culture and trade than Drayton Hall.

Two crops, rice and corn, directly influenced Charleston architectural styles. Rice was exported to Europe, and this trading led to Palladian and classical architecture being introduced to Drayton Hall and South Carolina. Corn, while a less important export, is in the design of the plaster ceiling of Drayton Hall’s Ionic drawing room. Corn was the

E v E n t s

By summer of 1863, the passionate cries of a quick and easy conflict had long faded into the stark reality of civil war. Countless news of battles, draft riots, food shortages and high prices became the norm of day-to-day life for most Americans, and there was still no end in sight. Horrifying and bloody battles like Antietam/Sharpsburg were followed only by starvation in Vicksburg and more death at Gettysburg. A cold, dark grip was strangling the nation, yet each side only hardened in their refusal to concede.

The Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863 had given rise to hope for slaves throughout the Confederate States, but it did not free slaves in loyal

border states—only states in rebellion. Believed by many to be a political ace for the Union’s cause, the effort worked; throughout America, both free and enslaved blacks had newfound hope. A resurgence of abolition fueled the North, and soon the ranks began to swell with black volunteer soldiers who wanted to fight for freedom. The 54th Massachusetts Regiment was the first black regiment recruited. A 25-year old son of wealthy white abolitionists in Boston, the handsome Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, was chosen to command it.

Considered to be an insult by many in well-heeled Northern societies, for racism ran as rampant there as in the South despite the differing view on slavery, Shaw initially turned down the offer given to him by his father. Shaw was uncertain as to whether or not the black soldiers would be able to succeed, but after deep contemplation he accepted the position. Once in command of the volunteers, he was quickly impressed with their intelligence, determination and dedication. On May 28, 1863 the smartly uniformed and drilled 54th Massachusetts Regiment was reviewed in Boston before boarding ships for duty in South Carolina.

The 54th Massachusetts saw initial action on July 16, repelling an attack of Confederates on James Island. Yet on July 18 would come the greatest test of courage any soldier could

face—they were chosen to lead the assault on Battery Wagner, a Confederate fort on Morris Island in Charleston Harbor. Firmly entrenched in the dunes, the march across the sands to the fort would be a certain death trap for the advancing regiment—yet it was in the name of freedom they could march, an honorable cause they could serve.

Colonel Robert Gould Shaw had no illusions about the task that lay ahead of him and his troops. Before they began their

advance he said, “I want you to prove yourselves. The eyes of thousands will look on what you do tonight.”

The following description of the battle is taken in excerpt from Harper’s Weekly, August 8, 1863:

Just as darkness began to close in upon the scene of the afternoon and the evening, General Strong rode to the front and ordered his brigade, consisting of the 54th Massachusetts, Colonel Shaw; the 6th Connecticut, Colonel Chatfield; the 48th New York, Colonel Barton [sic]…to advance to the assault. At the instant the line was seen slowly advancing in the dusk toward the fort, and before a double-quick had been ordered, a tremendous fire from the barbette guns...The guns from Wagner swept the beach, and [others] enfiladed it on the left. In the midst of this terrible shower of shot and shell they pushed their way, reached the fort, portions of the 54th Massachusetts, the 6th Connecticut, and the 48th New York, dashed through the ditches, gained the parapet, and engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy, and for nearly half an hour held their ground, and did not fall back until nearly every commissioned officer was shot down…These brave men were exposed to a most galling fire of grape and canister…raking ditches from the bastions of the fort…[fighting] as long as there was an officer to command...The 54th Massachusetts…went boldly into battle, for the second time, commanded by their brave Colonel, but came out of it led by no higher officer than the boy, Lieutenant Higginson. More than half the time…the fight was simply a hand-to-hand one, as the wounds received by many clearly indicate. Some have sword-thrusts, some are hacked on the head, some are stabbed with


Carney


bayonets, and a few were knocked with the butt-end of musket, but recovered in time to get away...

Though most of the 54th Massachusetts would perish storming Morris Island that night, heroism would not take all to the arms of death. William Harvey Carney, born a slave in Virginia who had escaped North through the Underground Railroad, served with the volunteer regiment. He is credited as being the first black American to earn the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration possible in the United States. Carney earned his medal for saving the American flag and planting it on the parapet despite being wounded, and holding it while the troops charged. Recognizing the Federal troops had begun retreat under fire, Carney struggled back across the battlefield, and although wounded twice more, returned the flag to the Union lines. Before turning over the colors to another survivor of the 54th, Carney modestly said, “Boys, I only did my duty; the old flag never touched the ground!”

Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts who fell in the attack on Battery Wagner were buried in a mass seaside grave dug out of the dunes. Confederate General Johnson Hagood left Shaw’s body with his black troops, intending it to be an insult, but Shaw’s family was proud that the colonel was with his men. The rising of tide and time has swept away the remains of the regiment and their commander, but it has not erased the memory of their message. Though the attack on Battery Wagner was a tactical loss, the storming victory of spirit displayed by the 54th Massachusetts lives on. Memorials to these fallen soldiers stand today at the Boston Common, the National Gallery of Art, and in popular culture with the 1989 motion-picture Glory.

Sailing away on The Schooner Pride

Charleston was a prominent sailing harbor during the time our country was being developed and has a long and rich maritime history. Today, visitors can set sail and tour the Charleston Harbor on the Schooner Pride, a classic 84' tall ship. The Pride is an authentic replica of an 18th century coastal trading schooner that resembles those majestic ships that once dotted the harbor. Considered one of the top five things to do in Charleston, exhilarating daily sails or romantic sunset sails are perfect for escaping the crowded streets and sweltering heat of downtown Charleston. Take in the Holy City from the peaceful waters of Charleston Harbor, mingling with dolphins, pelicans and gulls on a two hour sailing tour.

For tickets and more information, call 800-979-3370 or visit www.schoonerpride.com.
