A beautiful place to walk and enjoy the scenery. A good place to talk and walk with a friend.

10/10 peace of mind. I do wish they offered a climate controlled small place to cool off and catch your wi d in the summer.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do you welcome well behaved, leashed dogs?

Hi Elliott, Thanks for your interest in the Garden. We are not able to allow pets in the Garden. We're all dog people here, and it makes us sad but unfortunately that's how it goes. You're welcome to walk yours in our shady gravel parking lot if you are traveling and are hoping to visit. Thanks, Carolyn

Hey Christian, Yes, you are and we have benches and tables on a first come first served basis. We're looking at the possibility of reopening in the beginning of August. We hope to see you when we do! Thanks!

Is pollen an issue for spring weddings? Everything is so pretty, What dates would not be desirable, because everything in Statesboro will be yellow?

Dana McCullough | Oct 8, 2020
Botanic Garden at Georgia Southern University | Oct 8, 2020

Pollen is not too much of an issue, Dana, because we blow the pavilion and all pathways clean just before your event, so the surfaces would be pollen free. If someone suffers from allergies, that's a different story. Generally, early spring seems to be the time the pine pollen is the worst. Thanks for thinking of the Garden, and please let us know if we can provide further help. Hope to see you in the Garden soon!

I had a package for 125 people and it was $2500. It included ceremony and reception, chairs, tables, and a cottage to get ready in. I absolutely loved it.

Hello Kathy, Thanks for your interest in the Botanic Garden. While we do have 11 acres of gardens to explore, we do not have a camp site. George L. Smith State Park and Magnolia Springs State Park are within a 45 minute drive. Parkwood RV Park is just a few miles away from us here in Statesboro. Enjoy your travels!
