-- Lake City, S.C. - Tucked just beyond Lake City, Moore Farms Botanical Garden has become one of the Pee Dee region’s most captivating destinations. Known for its creative fusion of horticulture and art, the garden is especially dazzling during the fall season when vibrant foliage, crisp air, and imaginative displays transform the grounds into an unforgettable retreat.
Autumn Splendor in Full Bloom
Each year, autumn paints the landscape at Moore Farms with brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. These natural hues frame carefully curated seasonal plantings that highlight the garden’s festive spirit. From ornamental kale and late-season blooms to playful pumpkin displays, every corner of the property reflects the joy of the season. The combination creates a feast for the senses that delights both returning guests and first-time visitors.
For those who appreciate seasonal transitions, fall offers an ideal time to stroll the winding paths. Cooler air and colorful backdrops make every step more refreshing, while the garden’s design ensures that surprises are waiting around every corner.
Where Art and Nature Converge
One of the features that sets Moore Farms apart from other gardens is its embrace of creativity. Whimsical sculptures are tucked among hedges, groves, and open fields, often catching visitors off guard with their playful or thought-provoking designs. These installations underscore the garden’s philosophy: nature is not only something to admire but also a canvas for human imagination.
Landscapes are carefully crafted to blend native species with international plants, forming an evolving environment that feels both familiar and exotic. This fusion gives Moore Farms a storybook quality, one where natural beauty and artistic expression coexist in harmony.
A Destination for Every Visitor
The garden appeals to diverse audiences. Plant enthusiasts value the variety of species and the thoughtful horticultural design. Families enjoy the playful atmosphere that encourages discovery, whether it’s spotting sculptures or admiring seasonal arrangements. Artists, photographers, and travelers find endless inspiration in the ever-changing displays, especially during the dramatic colors of fall.
This versatility makes Moore Farms not just a garden but a destination—an outdoor experience that resonates differently with every visitor.
Special Event: Fall Plant Sale
Adding to its autumn appeal, Moore Farms will host its annual Fall Plant Sale on Friday, October 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event is a favorite among gardening enthusiasts and casual visitors alike, offering a wide selection of plants cultivated by the garden’s horticultural team.

Garden experts will also be on hand to provide advice on plant care and landscape design, making the sale both a shopping opportunity and an educational experience.
