The Garden is located approximately three miles south of the University campus. It encompasses over 300 acres, much of which borders the Middle Oconee River, containing speciality gardens, special collections, and a tropical conservatory, featuring a broad array of native and exotic plants. More than five miles of nature trails traverse the natural areas of the Garden.
