2024 Garden Walk Descriptions
The title of Cassina Garden Club’s annual tour of private gardens, Tabby & Tillandsia Garden Walk, was suggested by a member when it began in 2007. Seeking a name easy to remember, if not to pronounce, the Club chose an alliteration which represented two important local icons. Tabby is the cement-like material which slaves used to create the walls and floors of their Hamilton Plantation cabins, made of sand, oyster shells, water, and lime. Tillandsia (təˈlæn.zi.ə) is a genus of about 650 evergreen, perennial plants native to the Southeastern United States, with Spanish moss being the most prevalent on St. Simons Island.
