The Garden Club of Charleston, Inc. was given the wonderful opportunity of helping to maintain and preserve the Philip Simmons Memorial Garden beginning in 2014.

This garden was a gift from Spoleto Festival USA to the Philip Simmons Foundation.  It is located behind the St. John’s Reformed Church on Anson Street.  The plants are topiaries designed by Pearl Fryar and are commonly referred to as the “heart garden”.  It is a beautiful oasis in the heart of Charleston.
