- Description:
- Research and education projects initiated at the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Gardens in Savannah involve scientific disciplines in crop and soil science, horticulture, plant pathology, and entomology. The center is open to the public.
The photograph shows a gazebo and gardens in front of the welcome center at the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Gardens in southwestern Savannah. Several varieties of plants grow around a brick path leading through the garden. Spanish moss hangs from a tree in the center of the image. Historic plant collections at the University of Georgia Bamboo Farm and Coastal Gardens began in 1890, when Mrs. H. B. Miller planted three bamboo plants, obtained from Cuba, at a site in southwestern Savannah. By 1915 the original three plants had multiplied into a flourishing bamboo grove. - Metadata URL:
