Hidden Ponds Nursery

Hidden Ponds Nursery is a nursery in Awendaw, SC. Set on nearly 10 acres and just 10 minutes outside of Mount Pleasant, the business has served the Charleston area for over 20 years. It holds a rating of 4.40 from 151 reviews. The nursery specializes in plants suited to the hot, humid Lowcountry climate, carrying annuals, tropical houseplants, Southern Magnolias, shade trees, Camellias, Azaleas, Crape Myrtles, Carolina Jessamine, Hibiscus, Queen Palms, Birds of Paradise, and Bougainvillea, with inventory that shifts with the seasons.

Originally a small roadside market, Hidden Ponds was grown over the decades by owners Phil and Sally St. Pierre. Phil grew up on a farm in Maine in a large family, where his love of farming and horticulture began early, and that background shapes the nursery's focus on quality plants and knowledgeable service. The team includes General Manager Delana Keller-Bugnacki, Nursery Manager Reilly Owens, Property Manager Joshua Esterline, a Houseplant Caregiver in Suzette Timmons, crew members handling installs and deliveries, social media and workshops, and additional crew staff. The nursery offers design help for selecting the right plants for sun, shade, water, soil, and critter pressure, weekly fresh flower deliveries, regular truck orders of evergreen and deciduous shrubbery, ornamental grasses, bagged soils including potting soil, raised bed mix, moisture mix, top soil, and compost, pine straw by the roll, and what the business describes as the most affordable pottery in the area. Installation and delivery work is also available. Visitors can walk paths beneath Live Oaks, explore tucked-away garden displays, and meet five goats, two donkeys, two pigs, six barn cats, and a flock of twelve ducks alongside a pond with koi, carp, catfish, and bream.

The nursery sits along N Hwy 17, about 0.9 miles from the Avian Conservation Center and roughly 1.8 miles from Bulls Bay Golf Club, with the Wando River about 2.1 miles away.

Backed by a large base of customer reviews and a long track record serving the Lowcountry, Hidden Ponds has become a destination nursery for Charleston-area gardeners seeking plants suited to the local climate and a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
