This Beautiful 295-Acre Botanical Garden In South Carolina Is A Sight To Be Seen
Nestled into the landscape in upstate South Carolina is an urban oasis: the South Carolina Botanical Garden. Its 295 acres are in the heart of Clemson and possibly one of the last great things you can experience in the state – without spending a dime (not even for parking!).
Welcome to the South Carolina Botanical Garden, where Carolina fans will learn that not ALL of the flowers and blooms here are of the orange variety.
If you've yet to make a voyage to visit this amazing cultivated space filled with gardens, walking and hiking trails, and more, then you're in for a multi-sensory treat.
The many nature trails, hiking paths, and walkways lead to woodland escapes, past ponds and more.
You can spend a morning or an entire day enjoying the splendor of this extraordinary garden.
Explore a mountain bog, walk through a maritime forest, and see a famous Carolina shell ring... all before finding a quiet spot like the amphitheater for a restful moment.
The South Carolina Botanical Garden is located at 150 Discovery Ln., Clemson, SC 29634. It’s open year-round. Admission is free. The hours vary by season: March through October 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and November through February from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Plenty of free parking is available in the main lot at the address above.
