Day 2 Stop 1 Dr. Marilyn Grist Private Garden,Travelers Rest, SC 'A Tout le Monde (For All the World)' is Dr. Marilyn Grist's incredible garden and although a practicing veterinarian for more than 30 years, her true passion. The nine acre garden is nestled between Greenville, South Carolina and Asheville, North Carolina near the sleepy little town of Travelers Rest. Dr. Grist chose to convey her love for her family by designing gardens in their honor. Even when her children and grandchildren are not with her physically, they will always be with her in spirit because her four children and two grandchildren each have a special, individualized garden based on their personality dedicated to them. Dr. Grist also created a Japanese Garden, Charleston Garden, formal orchard, and Victorian Rose Garden. The Japanese Garden features conifers, waterfalls, and a pagoda. The Charleston Garden contains a gazebo, hollies, and roses. Throughout the property are varieties of azaleas, rhododendrons, shrubs, and trees-a truly unique and stunning collection. If you're looking for a quiet place to reflect, the North Saluda river bubbles by on the northern portion of the property, providing a calming place to rest.

Fascination with conifers led to 30 years membership and a national directorship in The American Conifer Society. Though conifers may be their signature plant they have many others of interest as well. Initially they enjoyed the many native plants on their property including mountain laurel, flame azaleas, rhododendrons and large oaks and pines. They have complemented those plants with 200-300 conifers, 23 cultivars of beech (Fagus) from A to Z, and many hostas and Japanese maples. Certain plants such as Microbiota decussata (Russian juniper), Abies, Chamaecyparis, Cryptomeria, Tsuga, Taxus, Pinus along with berries and fruit trees help make an eclectic garden. The Richards enjoyed the challenge of building a koi pond in 1998. The 70 x 90 feet lined pond is up to 12 feet deep and supports a submerged Taxodium ascendens (pond cypress) and an Acer palmatum 'Waterfall'. The koi like the environment, as do the herons and kingfishers that like the koi despite a heron statue and a tethered kite. Everything on the property has been accomplished by the two of them. Gardens are always changing and they have enjoyed growing old with their plants-as Hazel has said "We move our plants like we move our furniture".
