April is a wonderful time to visit Charleston’s Historic Plantations. Here are a couple of interesting events happening in the near future.
Indigo in Bloom, April 5 through May 4
An Immersive Celebration of Art, History & Nature
Step into a world where art and nature intertwine, where history whispers through the petals, and where indigo—a color as deep as the Lowcountry’s past—blooms once more. Indigo in Bloom is a breathtaking fusion of horticulture, history, and artistry set against the timeless beauty of one of Charleston’s most storied landscapes.
For centuries, indigo was more than just a dye—a symbol of creativity, resilience, and transformation. This spring, experience its legacy reimagined through stunning art installations by renowned artists Hitomi Gilliam AIFD and Arianne King Comer, whose work pays homage to the Lowcountry’s rich botanical and cultural heritage.
