      About this trip

       Brookgreen Gardens is excited to welcome Bruce Munro and his art to the Gardens. This will be the only chance to experience Bruce's incomparable installations in the Eastern United States in 2020. 


      Acclaimed British artist, Bruce Munro, designs light centric, expansive installations.  He has been creating these exhibits around the world for 15 years.  His current exhibit located in Paso Robles, California is so popular that it has been held over until June.  The Brookgreen exhibit appropriately named "Southern Light"  runs April through September and will feature seven works of art in light and mixed media, each designed specifically for the natural garden rooms where they will be installed.  The illuminated installations will consist of tens of thousands of components.  


      This trip allows time to get oriented and view the Gardens before sunset and then be dazzled as the installations glow with the onset of darkness.  The trip also features a stop at Broadway on the Beach in Myrtle Beach for dinner on your own at any of the many dining options before we arrive at Brookgreen Gardens.

      I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

      This was a wonderful trip! So educational & information but in a very entertaining way. I learned so much and was very impressed by Hopsewee Plantation & all its employees! Trips by Patty did an awesome job & I look forward to many more tips with her!

      Fantastic day with excellent speakers/docents. Very educational experience at this lovely property. Food was excellent, I enjoyed the owner explaining how they came about owning the Plantation and the organizers did an excellent job keeping all participants safe, hydrated and on time with various stops. Worth every penny!

      Had a wonderful time! Loved the 2 Trips with Patty that I’ve done But it would have been nicer to spend more time in the house - upstairs and the basement. The tour guides seemed to truncate and simplify the information. It would have been better if the tour guides knew that this particular group, the St. James Vintage Ladies, were all college educated women who all love and are well versed in history. For this reason I don’t think I got the full value of the price. The lunch was fantastic! The food as well as the serving staff were wonderful. Thanks for all you do, Patty and crew!
