Our Botanical Gardens Expert Says:
There are many sights to see in Charleston, but within the top tier is the White Point Gardens, called the Battery by locals. The Battery is a collection of landscaped parks filled with palmetto trees, the state tree of South Carolina. Facing the harbor and Cooper River, the Battery is filled with relics from the American Civil War as well as various war monuments. A great walk to take is along the seawall, which runs along Murray Boulevard and East Battery. White Point Gardens is always open, and completely free to visit.
