Greenwood, SC: Flower to the People

• Video Link

My husband and I stumbled upon the South Carolina Festival of Flowers today. We went to Greenwood because we found a plant nursery there that had a few things we needed for our Japanese garden at a good price, figured we'd never been to downtown Greenwood before and might as well while we were there, and found a topiary wonderland.

Greenwood is about an hour from Greenville and is known for two things: the presence of Lander University, and having, at a whopping 316 feet, the widest Main Street in the country.
