This Fancy Charleston Garden Is a Private Oasis in the Heart of the City

You'd never guess this stunning, lush, green oasis is located right off a busy Charleston street frequented by camera-wielding tourists. But homeowners and fabric designers Lynda and David Gilkeson have created something special, a place to entertain and even house guests in an adorable outbuilding that makes the space feel like an island resort.

Creeping Jenny, ferns and caladium continue the subtle pink and black theme of this garden where wooden window boxes, gates and fences are painted in a glossy ebony paint.
