"Garden
Treasures"
Closing out the
Garden Club of Georgia's statewide Garden Week, Cassina's
Seventh Annual Garden Walk celebrates the horticultural
beauty of the St. Simons coastal
area. It offers 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 are used for the preservation
and maintenance of our historic tabby cabins and the surrounding
grounds.
Enjoy more of Hampton Plantation. Stay for lunch at The Hampton
Club which is open for lunch on Saturdays. They would be pleased
to serve Garden Walk participants and are offering expedited
lunches for those on the Walk.
And if Lunchtime finds you at the South end of St. Simons
Island, The Rooftop (has a great view) at Ocean Lodge,
935 Beachview Drive, is open for lunch on Saturday, April 27th,
and would be glad to serve lunch for Garden Walk visitors.
