Bob and I went back to Brookgreen Gardens today on our still valid tickets to see the remainder of the park — primarily the Lowcountry, heritage farm, and zoo areas. of course, we also saw more sculptures and more of the beautiful grounds.
The farm and zoo are part of their mission to showcase animals native to the Southeast, and many of the zoo animals seemed to be rescued after some type of injury. Many of them were well camouflaged in their environments and/or difficult to capture through the metal enclosures, so my apologies if the animal photos feel mostly like an eye test or a Where’s Waldo exercise.
