Completed in 1984, the Renaissance Garden is magnificent in its design and beauty. Modeled along the classic lines
of the Italian Renaissance of the late 16th century, the garden features all of the trademarks of that period. Its
wide vista, symmetrically laid out in grassy terraces, is outlined with ornate columnar stone fences. Four statues,
one for each of the seasons, stand in the corners of the upper level. Across from the terraces is a reflective pool
and fountain. Behind the water is a grand coronation court that is traditionally the site of the annual crowning of
the International Azalea Queen each April.
NOTE: Part of this garden is closed to the public during the nesting season for the American Bald Eagle (Dec. 15 - early July).
