Where Middleton Place, South Carolina
When 1938
Photographer B. Anthony Stewart

The gardens at South Carolina's Middleton Place were begun in 1741 and are one of the oldest formally landscaped gardens in the United States. Designed to mirror the ordered, geometrically-balanced style that was popular in Europe at the time, the gardens are now planned so that flowering plants are in bloom in each of the four seasons.
