Magnolia on the Ashley: Grimke-Drayton Founded Charleston Garden
In 1841 Pastor John Grimke-Drayton retired due to tuberculosis and started Magnolia Gardens overlooking the Ashley River in Charleston. He planted two roses, imported camellias and azaleas from Europe and Asia, counted 120 varieties, and built a famed 25 acre estate later owned by his descendants. He died in 1891 after a long, fruitful life.
