The Trial Gardens at the University of Georgia evaluate the newest ornamental plants from top breeding companies located around the world. We are the “go-to” garden in the arena of testing plants for adaptability to heat and humidity. Tucked away on UGA’s South Campus, our garden is a perfect place to escape and take a breather from the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life. We have shaded benches and a gazebo in the center of the garden. This tour includes one acre of garden and greenhouse areas.

This three-hour long class consists of one and a half hours of lecture, then a break, then one hour of computer exercises. Before class, please allow at least 12 hours to complete Advance Homework.
