Indigo in Bloom: Meet the Artists

Step into a world where art and nature intertwine, where history whispers through the petals and where indigo—a color as deep as the Lowcountry’s past—blooms once more.

"Indigo in Bloom," at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens from Saturday, April 5–Sunday, May 4, is a breathtaking fusion of horticulture, history and artistry, set against the timeless beauty of one of Charleston’s most storied landscapes. For centuries, indigo was more than just a dye—it was a symbol of creativity, resilience and transformation. This spring, experience its legacy reimagined through stunning art installations by renowned artists Hitomi Gilliam AIFD and Arianne King Comer, whose work pays homage to the rich botanical and cultural heritage of the Lowcountry.

Wander the Gardens and experience:

• Enchanting art installations inspired by nature’s palette
• A tribute to indigo’s deep roots in Charleston’s history
• The beauty of Magnolia in full bloom, where every pathway tells a story

On Saturday, April 5, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., visitors will have the opportunity to Meet the Artists. Enjoy lite bites and refreshments with the "Indigo in Bloom" artists. This event is included with your General Admission ticket.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind celebration, where past and present, color and canvas, art and earth come together in perfect harmony. Indigo is blooming — join us for an unforgettable celebration of heritage and artistry.
