Phillip Carnley, a
horticulturist for Sumter county, gave a presentation to the Pink
Dogwood Garden Club at their well attended March 2019 meeting in
Summerton,
S.C. Prior to moving to Sumter county, he was a horticulturist at
the Edisto
Memorial Gardens in Orangeburg. Mr. Carnley is a graduate of
Clemson University.
The focus of his
presentation was Swan
Lake and Iris Gardens in Sumter, S.C. He started with a bried
overview of the history of Swan Lake, then talked about the many
practical and economic benefits of Swan Lake to the county and
surrounding communities. His slideshow presentation contained many
beautiful pictures of the azaleas, iris plants, swans, cypress trees
and much more. If you haven’t visited Swan Lake yet, you really
need to go.
All local
residents living in Summerton or in nearby communities surrounding
Lake Marion who have an interest in nature, gardening, horticulture
and landscaping ought to seriously consider joining the Pink
Dogwood Garden Club.
