Sandlapper's Corner takes you on a virtual field trip to showcase the beautiful gardens of South Carolina in the spring. Each garden is distinctive in its appearance and is famous for the special flowers and trees that fill each one of them. Magnolia, Middleton Place, and Cypress Garden are highlighted, and the production provides glimpses of Sumter's Swan Lake with its large collection of irises, as well as Kalmia and Edisto Gardens.
The preservation of these gardens and the safety of native trees such as cypress, live oak and palmetto are discussed. We visit bird sanctuaries throughout the state and learn about those birds and animals that no longer thrive in South Carolina. There is a discussion as to how to balance progress while preserving natural beauty and wild birds and animals that share our state.
Sandlapper’s Corner was a children's educational program that began airing on SCETV in the 1970s. Produced by Dr. Sandra G. Thomas, the show was about South Carolina—its people and places, its present and past.
