An open, immersive reading experience
Settle into the beauty of Brookgreen Gardens and experience poetry in a quiet, reflective setting. Poetry in the Garden invites guests to slow down, listen, and connect through language inspired by place.
During this one-hour, informal reading, guests are welcome to come and go, find a comfortable spot, and take in the experience at their own pace. Selections from Brookgreen Verses will be shared throughout the hour, offering moments of reflection woven into the natural surroundings.
The experience is designed to feel relaxed and unstructured, allowing poetry to unfold organically through both continuous reading and gentle pauses. Whether you stay for a few minutes or the full hour, each visit offers a chance to engage with the Gardens in a new and meaningful way.
Poetry in the Garden is part of the Jula J. Kinnaird Poetry Program at Brookgreen Gardens.
