Middleton Place (Gardens) – Charleston, SC

#springitinerary Middleton Place in spring is an explosion of azaleas and camellias — pure Southern charm. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss setting a romantic scene. I joined the garden tour and learned so much about its rich history. The reflection pools and butterfly lakes are Instagram gold. Their farm animals and historical demonstrations added a unique touch. Pro tip: stay for lunch at their restaurant, the she-crab soup is divine. If your #springitinerary craves beauty and serenity, this is the spot.
