Georgia Southern Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Statesboro, United States.

The Botanic Garden at Georgia Southern University covers 11 acres at 1505 Bland Avenue, a few blocks from the main campus. It is centered on an early 20th-century farmstead whose Bland Cottage now serves as visitor center and meeting space, surrounded by areas such as the Heritage Garden, Rose Arbor, Camellia Garden, Bog Garden and woodland trails.

The site began as a farmstead belonging to Dan and Catharine Bland in the early 1900s. It later became a botanical garden to preserve the rural heritage of the region.

The garden's cultural focus is the Oak Grove Schoolhouse, a one-room school moved here from Tattnall County in 2010; it is one of the few survivors of the roughly 7,000 one-room schools in Georgia in 1900. The garden also holds an annual Arbor Day event, giving seedling trees to the community, and hosts festivals and plant sales.

You can explore on your own or follow the marked trails that wind through different plant sections. Wear good shoes since the ground is uneven and trails change with the seasons.
