Our story began
with bamboo


Established as a bamboo grove around 1890, then taken over by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1919, the gardens are now managed by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and are devoted to fostering research and education. Plants from all over the world can be found in our unique collections, including several trees and shrubs which are one-of-a-kind in the U.S.

Our historic bamboo collection includes more than 70 species, and our internationally acclaimed camellia collection is one of the largest in the country, with 36 species blooming from October to March.
