The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, a 313-acre gem operated by the University of Georgia since 1968, serves as a vibrant "living laboratory" for education, research, and outreach. Its diverse landscapes showcase the Georgia Piedmont's rich plant communities and habitats, complemented by over five miles of scenic nature trails, a tropical conservatory, and themed display gardens emphasizing native flora and environmental conservation. The garden fosters learning and engagement, featuring collections like the Dunson Native Flora Garden and the Alice H. Richards Children's Garden, along with seasonal events promoting biodiversity and sustainability.
