The Blue Garden was originally developed by John Pendleton King, II (Pendleton), the grandson of Senator John Pendleton King. A writer and poet, Pendleton enjoyed blue flowers. The garden has been restored with shrubs and flowers that display various hues of blue. The Green Court Garden Club has adopted this special garden and perpetuates King's love for the color blue in the landscape. The formal garden has an ornate urn which is planted with seasonal blue flowers which serves as an attractive focal point. Mrs. Eugenia Lehmann, cousin of Pendleton King, remembered afternoon teas with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Elizabeth King in the garden gazebo. After an afternoon round golf on the plantation’s nine hole course, Uncle Henry would dress in a tuxedo for dinner. After Pendleton’s early death at 30 from a brain aneurysm, Henry donated the property in Pendleton’s honor as a bird sanctuary.
