Additionally, the Perennial garden is surrounded by granite embedded with an inspiring quote by late William Bartram, a renowned American naturalist, about the area’s own Chattahoochee River. In a unique partnership, the University of Georgia’s State Botanical Garden, grew these native wildflowers from seed. The Perennial garden highlights a variety of beautiful blooms, including some of Georgia’s rare wildflowers and grasses. Pollinator gardens are essential in supporting the local ecosystem by providing food and shelter for pollinating insects, such as the bees we have onsite that make honey for us to sell to the community. The new Pollinator garden boasts over 50 unique species of plants and grasses, which is a remarkable amount of diversity to attract pollinators. These three new gardens are part of a ten-year master plan for expansion, which has been made possible thanks to continual support from the Columbus community. We have begun installing a Pollinator garden, a Perennial garden, and a Ginkgo Shade Tree garden. During the closure of the Columbus Botanical Garden due to COVID-19, our staff has worked tirelessly to continue expanding and improving the gardens. The community will again be able to enjoy the gardens, including the ongoing progress of three new garden additions. The Columbus Botanical Garden will reopen on Wednesday, July 1st.
