- Coastal_Georgia_Botanical_Gardens abstract "Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens is a former USDA plant-introduction station that has developed into a 51-acre botanical garden. It is located is Chatham County, Georgia, south of Savannah.The garden's collection began in the late 1880s when property owner Mrs. H. B. Miller planted three giant Japanese timber bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides) plants. By 1915 an impressive bamboo grove developed, which drew the attention of noted botanist and plant explorer David Fairchild. In 1919 Barbour Lathrop, a friend of Fairchild, purchased the site from Mrs. Miller for $5,430 and leased it to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for $1. Noted plant explorer Frank Meyer, David Bisset and Alfonso McClure were vital players in the development of the facility as a federally funded plant-introduction station throughout the mid-20th century. In 1979 the USDA closed the site and in 1983 deeded it to the University of Georgia; it remains part of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.Today, Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens' collections contain around 60 bamboo taxa, said to be the largest American bamboo collection open to the public east of California. Most specimens (genera Phyllostachys and Bambusa) were planted in the 1920s and '30s. It also displays 40 winter-hardy palm species, including numerous cultivars of dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor). With at least 36 different species, the gardens are also home to one of the largest collections of camellia species outside of China, in the Judge Arthur Solomon Camellia Trail. Impressive specimen trees also cast shade across the property, including China fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), Japanese evergreen oak (Castanopsis delavayi), lord's holly (Ilex rotunda), Oliver maple (Acer oliverianum), Chinese pistachio (Pistacia chinensis) and live oak (Quercus virginiana).The site also showcases landscape roses, native plants of the state of Georgia, day lilies, bearded iris and seasonal annuals. A 50,000-gallon water garden was completed on the shores of one of the site's lakes in 2012. In 2013, a Mediterranean-style garden was completed in the area by the Bridal Cottage and Conference Center, historically the original entrance to the property when it was a USDA plant-introduction station. A shade garden, formal garden, children's garden, bamboo maze (the largest in the Western Hemisphere), and 1-acre replica of an early 18th-century Georgia colonial trustees garden are under way. An improved main entrance off of Canebrake Road is anticipated in 2014, as is the completion of the new Andrews Visitor and Education Center building.Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens sells a number of containerized bamboo and garden plants and holds various special events and gardening classes throughout the year. Among the special events include the Wild Game Supper (February), Spring Plant Sale (April), Fall Garden Festival (October) and December Nights and Holiday Lights (November/December); the latter features 400,000 lights in the evenings. The site also offers visitors "pick your own" fruit orchards including strawberries (late-March to May), blackberries (mid-May to early July), and blueberries (late April to late June). Precise harvest times vary annually depending on the weather.Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens is part of the University of Georgia's Extension. It also benefits from support from the Chatham County government and the non-profit Friends of the Coastal Gardens organization.".
