Put on your dancing boots and join the Marshgrass Mama’s for a stompin’ good time at the Naturally Kiawah Garden! The Marshgrass Mama’s are a bevy of Johns Island musical gals. The roots of their music stem from traditional bluegrass and Appalachian old-time, but over the decades the sound has morphed into a unique sound of their own.
Enjoy a stroll through the Garden with one of the Conservancy Garden Keepers and learn how we're "Growing Native."
Bring your own seating, libations, and an appetizer to share while enjoying this live musical performance.
Reservations are NOT required for this complimentary program.
