White Point Gardens is home to rows of long limbed live oaks and blooming azaleas. It also frames picturesque antebellum mansions which overlook the peaceful greenspace. The gardens are one of the best spots in town to enjoy a sunny Spring afternoon.

    An image that reminds me of the movie Gone with the wind. Same type of planting and decor, the South in all its beauty

    I like the way the tree seems to want to catch the house. Excellent!
    Have a nice day.

    Oaks are arguably my favourite trees. Perfect frame for the gorgeous house.

    I love the meandering limbs--they very effectively draw our eyes to this beautiful mansion. Again, what a town you live in!
