Pearlstine Healing Garden, Medical University of South Carolina
The Carolinas' newest healing garden opened in April 2008 and is located in Charleston's medical district. Visitors traveling west on Calhoun Street will spot a gray slightly Italianate-looking tower made of concrete and frosted glass, rising above other buildings to their right. The Edwin and Barbara Pearlstine Healing Garden, designed by Robert Chesnut, is between the Baruch Auditorium at 284 Calhoun Street and the Hollings building at the corner of Jonathan Lucas Street. There are two entrances off Calhoun.
This outdoor sanctuary offers inspiration -- including the horticultural kind -- to visitors. And, for gardeners who have experienced the challenges of turning unattractive environments into pleasing ones, this lush pocket of tranquility offers a fresh approach to using reliable, yet often overused, plant materials. The garden includes sleek sculpture, a soothing fountain and specimens of South Carolina's signature palm trees.
The garden was made possible through a $1 million gift from Edwin Pearlstine of Charleston in memory of his wife, Barbara Langer Pearlstine.
The Hollings center's seven-story tower, which received a Preservation Society of Charleston's Carolopolis Award for new construction in 2007, is part of an ensemble of L-shaped structures that overlook two architecturally uninteresting, tall brick buildings. The healing garden is located in the center, replacing a small asphalt parking lot.
