Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens
Your garden adventure awaits
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.
What to expect
The Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens (CGBG) mission is to provide education, public outreach, and applied research in horticultural and environmental sciences.
We strive to provide, practical community classes, inspiring and dynamic school programs and spectacular plant collections that educate visitors to the many roles that plants play in our lives.
The Garden is a top Savannah attraction that serves as a museum of plants, a tranquil escape, a living classroom, and an impressive, historic venue for special events for more than 100,000 annual visitors.
