I visited South Carolina in the spring and enjoyed soaking up the history and sun on the lovely coast along with viewing the colorful flowers in hanging baskets and window boxes. Charleston is famous for its single houses (one room wide and two rooms on each floor). But even with houses absent of front gardens, you'll still notice a lot of color in the window boxes. There are several companies in Charleston that are hired for the upkeep of these beautiful splashes of color in the Holy City.
