The Fourth Annual Garden Walk
Weekend celebrates the horticultural beauty of the St. Simons/Sea Island coastal
area while offering an opportunity for visitors to explore and enjoy a select
and seldom seen group of eight of the Islands most inspiring private gardens. The name
of the tour was selected to recognize St. Simons Island’s cultural heritage by
spotlighting the tabby slave cabins, circa 1804, on historic Gascoigne Bluff and
their magnificent setting among the ancient oaks covered with tillandsia, or
Spanish moss. The cabins are maintained by Cassina Garden Club, Inc. Proceeds
from the Tabby & Tillandsia Garden Walk Weekend are placed in a trust for
the preservation and maintenance of the tabby cabins and the surrounding
grounds.
The Weekend is
dedicated to providing ~
Inspiration, Education
and
Entertainment
for

Inspiration:
From
contemporary to traditional, formal to informal, the eight tour
gardens offer inspiration and ideas for visitors of all ages who

Education:
During both days of the Garden Walk,
docents will be
available in each garden to direct visitors’
attention to
unique plant material, hardscape and
garden art.
Entertainment:
Beautiful music as well as floral scents
