Just before the two RV Gypsies
walked a portion of the River Dike Trail at Edisto Memorial Gardens,
they took a few photos along the way. |

look at the plants and wildlife found in the wetlands of this area.

Below: Karen
Duquette enjoyed the colors and texture in a tree trunk so she took
a close-up photo. |
 |
Below: There were several informative signs, but most of them were
in need of some loving care, and they were hard to read, so Karen Duquette
only photographed two of them. She tries to post some history of the
areas that she visits. |

Below: After the two RV Gypsies left Horne
Wetland Park and walked a bit further, they came to a very small waterfall
within Edisto Memorial Gardens. |

Below: View of the waterfall
taken from a small platform in the parking lot above it. It was impossible
to get a photo from top to bottom. The water at this point was flowing
from under the parking lot, so the two RV Gypsies do not know where
the source of the waterfall begins. |
 |
 |
Below: From the parking lot
above the waterfall, the two RV Gypsies came upon Memory Garden. |

Below: A short, four-sided
monument with no inscription, just a simple image on each side. The
images speak for themselves. |

Below: The Angel of Hope Project
is another unique feature of the Edisto Memorial Gardens. There are
over 90 Angel sculptures around the U.S., but this is the only one in
South Carolina. The Angel of Hope is dedicated to the children that
have lost their lives through natural causes or accidents. This monument
and garden is a place for healing and meditation for the parents, other
family members, and friends of these children. The Project is a joint
effort of the City of Orangeburg Parks and Recreation Dept. and the
Angel of Hope Committee, raised funds for the Project. In addition,
to the Angel of Hope sculpture, the area features beautiful landscaping,
brick pavers, and dedicatory wall and an area for recognition bricks. |
