The Edisto Memorial Gardens is a place of history and beauty. This site was first developed in the 1920s. Currently, there are more than 50 beds of roses. A fountain was moved from the Memorial Plaza and placed at the entrance to the Gardens in 1950 to honor the brave individuals who gave their lives in 1st & 2nd World Wars, Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The Gardens attract visitors from all over because they are filled with All America Rose Selections award-winning roses, azaleas, and other flora and faunas. The South Carolina Festival of Roses, one of the Southeastern Tourism Society's top twenty events, is held in Orangeburg the last full weekend in April each year to celebrate the blooming of the City's roses. The Gardens also features a butterfly garden and a newly developed sensory garden. The Edisto Memorial gardens are open seven days a week from dawn to dusk. Admission is free to the public.
