Take advantage of the idyllic weather and Litchfield Inn’s convenient location when you attend summer events at Brookgreen Gardens on a Myrtle Beach getaway. This sculpture garden is a top-ranking must-do activity in Pawleys Island for good reasons—the sightseeing and events programming are spectacular, and the calendar includes offerings for any age.
The Inn’s central location in the South Strand just outside of Myrtle Beach offers easy access to Grand Strand farmers markets, dining al fresco at waterfront restaurants, and browsing the Hammock Shops nearly any day you choose. This leaves plenty of time on your itinerary to attend summer events at Brookgreen Gardens learning about the area’s natural and historical significance and spending even more time outdoors.

Stunning is one word to describe this summertime experience at Brookgreen Gardens. July and August evenings feel magical when the sculptures are illuminated by shimmering lights.

If you’ve enjoyed the winter Night of a Thousand Candles, this summer event is a must-see.

Brookgreen Gardens is one of the best places to snap pictures, which makes its monthly photo walks so enticing. This activity is for shutterbugs who love a good nature photo, so Brookgreen Gardens asks that participants have a working knowledge of their camera before attending. The two-hour walk takes you through the gardens, where you’ll learn about exposure and composition as you capture nature in action. Reaching for your camera is a common theme for visitors to the South Strand, so if this class isn’t for you, many can’t-miss photo opportunities in Pawleys Island are ready to be captured.
When: August 4–6, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Cost: Free with garden admission
These eventful, kid-friendly days at Brookgreen Gardens make it fun for your entire family to learn about animals from around the world.
