A New Member Welcome at Brookgreen Gardens – July 25th

Fire up your Porsche on July 25th for the Palmetto PCA New Member Drive & Dine—a day designed for scenic backroads, fine dining, and the camaraderie of the club.

While this event is open to all members, we are rolling out the red carpet for our newest additions. If you’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity to meet the local Porsche community, this is the one.

Two Routes, One Destination We’re making this easy for members across the region by organizing two simultaneous rally drives:

• The Northern Route: The starting point will be Dunkin’ Doughnuts (6971 SC-90, Longs, SC, 29568).  We’ll meet at 9:00 and finish at Brookgreen between 11:00 and 11:30.
• The Southern Route: Starting in the Charleston area and heading north. We’ll meet at 8:45 in the Kohl’s parking lot in Mt Pleasant behind the McDonald’s with a 9:15 departure. Please plan to arrive with a full tank of fuel and take care of any restroom stops before departure, as we will be driving directly to Brookgreen Gardens without a planned stop.

Start locations and precise departure times will be announced shortly.

The Destination: Brookgreen Gardens Our two groups will converge at one of the Lowcountry’s most stunning landmarks. Rather than a standard roadside stop, we’ve secured a dedicated Porsche-only parking corral within the grounds of Brookgreen Gardens.

Lunch at Harvest We will enjoy a staggered arrival to ensure a smooth dining experience at Harvest Restaurant.

• Groups of 10 cars will arrive in intervals starting at 11:00 AM.
• Harvest Restaurant will begin seating our group at 11:30 a.m. in groups of approximately 15–20 people until everyone has been seated.
• The restaurant is nestled among world-class sculptures and ancient oaks, making the meal a true part of the garden experience.

Spend the Day Admission is just $25 per person at the gate. After lunch, the day is yours. We encourage you to wander the sculpture gardens, explore the nature preserve, and enjoy the property at your own pace.

Great roads. Great people. Great setting. We’ll see you at the gardens.
