Daniel Stowe Conservancy

A 380-acre botanical garden with themed gardens, a tropical conservatory, and seasonal displays on the banks of Lake Wylie.

Founded on a former textile executive's farm and opened in 1999, the Conservancy combines formal display gardens, an orchid conservatory, the Lost Hollow children's garden, meadow and prairie plantings, and miles of shoreline trails. It rebranded from Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in 2025.
