After being cooped up during Covid, we were ready to take a trip. We chose St. Simon's Island, a comfortable three-hour drive from Hilton Head Island, for its sightseeing opportunities. Among the historic monuments was the Wesley Gardens on Frederica Road. We stopped there after first visiting historic Christ Episcopal Church just down the road. The Wesley Gardens are named after brothers John and Charles Wesley who founded the Methodist religion. There is a turn-off from Frederica Road to park; the area is small but probably not many cars will turn up at the same time. The gardens are meticulously maintained. The imposing 18-foot Celtic cross just inside the gate is wondrous. It weighs 15 tons cut from granite in Elberton, GA. Charles Wesley was General Oglethorpe's Secretary of Indian Affairs. He is also famous for writing over 6,000 hymns. The garden is situated on two acres and filled with native trees and plants. It was a pleasant walk around the cross; benches provide a place to sit and rest in this beautifully landscaped retreat. It would be especially lovely in the spring with blooming azaleas. The Wesley Methodist Church is adjacent to the gardens. Bells toll on the half and hour.

A small church with the basic structure of a Congregational church, the velvet pew seating of an Anglican church, and the animal carvings of a Viking Great Hall. Add gorgeous Tiffany glass at the front and back, and you have a unique and lovely church. Great for a short visit or some contemplative time.

We enjoyed the hunt to find all of the tree spirits. Wish there were plaques nearby to talk about the artist or maybe story behind each one. Nice photo ops while we explored the island!
