SC Festival Of Flowers
We were recently in Greenwood, SC for a tennis tournament. I have lived in SC for decades and had no clue about this festival! SC Festival of Flowers in Greenwood, SC is a must see event! Large topiary sculptures are adorned with flowers and greenery.Greenwood is about an hour from us. We were so excited to see these displays as we drove by! Of course, there were more activities throughout the weekend. It would make a great weekend get-away!
We couldn't wait to take a closer look after the tournament. Let me tell you, it was a hot day! It was 95 degrees. The courts were a nightmarish 100+. It was very difficult playing conditions for the youth. Many withdrew due to the heat.

These were all just taken with my Iphone 5. I didn't take the time to do any special editing. Enjoy the photos!

Wow, Christy, what a great post! I attended the Flower Festival more than 30 years ago and didn’t know that they still have it! I love the topiaries. The jeep is my favorite!
Coolest I have ever seen! The Clemson tiger is awesome!
Oh my gosh I love them all Christy but I think the sea horse done with all the succulents was my favorite! My youngest was looking with me and she loved the mermaid 🙂
Thanks for sharing these great pictures. If you have never been, you need to check out the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World every Spring, the huge blankets of flowers around the ponds there are outstanding.
