PLANTS
• The garden displays a variety of material that grows well in the conditions found on Kiawah . Native plants , indigenous species that grow naturally on Kiawah and / or throughout the southeast coastal plain , are labeled throughout the garden . These plants play an invaluable role in Kiawah ’ s ecology . New selections of native plants are continually being added as our garden grows .
