A few blocks away from the university’s main campus are its 4.5-hectare gardens. Aiming to preserve rare and endangered plant species native to the state, it sits around Bland Cottage. This is a slightly unfortunate name, given all the colour and natural beauty that surrounds this early-twentieth century farmstead turned visitor centre. The gardens themselves are divided into a number of subsections, including a heritage garden, bog garden, rose collection, and several wooded walking trails dotted with benches. A haven for nature a short stroll from downtown Statesboro, it is also home to a number of native butterfly species, birds such as the mockingbirds and red-feathered cardinals, and a healthy population of squirrels too.

Very beautiful. Be advised of the Fall and Winter Hours.

I had a great time at the Botanic Garden! You can hear birds singing any time of day there. I go there to destress and feel close to Jesus and Nature. It's like The Garden of Eden, but without the Forbidden Fruit! I would definitely recommend the Botanic Garden to anyone visiting the area. Jesus is coming, better be ready!!!

The garden's we're absolutely fantastic! We just moved here from the NorthEast, and we've had such a wonderful time so far... We went on a perfect evening, the temperature was just right, and it wasn't overly busy. We just got married, and are thinking when Covid 19 is a little more subdued, that we may do a ceremony here! You would never realize that behind the walls from the busy street, that there's a wonderful quiet place of beauty right there!

WOW! A real.comfortable afternoon reading about the history of farming during the 20's to the 50's. Plenty of signs to discribe the plants AND life on the farm. I can see why Saturdays are closed to only special groups. There are a lot of areas for wedding / social pictures. Sunday is only 1 to 4:30 and it may take several hours to enjoy it all. Look close for the special handmade fixtures.
