“Readers, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Greenwood anymore!” On Saturday, thousands upon thousands of couples, families, and tourists took a trip down Highway 254 North Cokesbury Road into a magical world of gorgeous plants. As always, 2009 Flower Day at Park Seed
Company served as one of the main attractions for this year’s S.C. Festival of Flowers. It was easy to see why so many people travel from near and far to get swept up in the beauty of this annual one day event.

Greenwood County’s Park Seed Company transforms into a rainbow at this one day event, as the front lawn is littered with 9-acres of Trial Gardens. Spotting colors in the rainbow is not difficult as you stroll through rows upon rows of colorful flowers. Finding your favorite flower or plant is also a simple and easy task on Flower Day.
Daffodils, roses, tulips, and other varieties of plants can be found somewhere on the grounds of Park Seed during Flower Day. With over 2,000 plant varieties, Park Seed’s professional horticulturists provided tourists with guided tours throughout the day to explain all the different types of plant variations. Trial Gardens were divided into theme gardens, container gardens, rose gardens, deer-resistant gardens, butterfly and humming-bird gardens, All-America Selections trails, and many others.
