A popular outdoor wedding spot here in Greenville, the Rock
Quarry Garden is the site of a pre-Civil War granite quarry. Yet another
waterfall in the city!
The cold weather and nightly freeze warnings have been
interspersed with some bright and sunny days, and we took advantage of one such
day to visit these gardens, managed by the Greenville Garden Club.

In a few weeks the park will be ablaze with azaleas and the
dogwoods will have bloomed, but on our visit we found colorful beds of pansies
amidst the green grass. The stream runs right down the middle, teasing the boys
with the prospect of splashing and rock-turning, but the chill in the air
ensured mom kept them dry.
Close to Cleveland Park, the zoo and downtown, this oasis is
another spot we will be returning to, the prospect of catching the park in spring
bloom appealing. We’ll pack a picnic and
a change of clothes, and if the sun is warm enough there just might be some
splashing involved.
