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.

The, MSTC, housed in the Animal & Dairy Science Department of the College of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences at UGA, is a fully functional, meat animal processing facility that is federally (USDA) inspected to ensure that all animals are treated with their welfare in mind and to ensure the wholesomeness of the meat products produced. The main purpose of the MSTC is to facilitate teaching, outreach, and research education in the areas of meat animal production, meat science, and muscle biology. This tour of the MSTC will show participants how the facility functions and how community members can purchase its meat products.

Newspapers are key to understanding the time and place in which an ancestor lived since they provide a contemporaneous record. Every major genealogical database contains newspaper information, and libraries provide access to current and historical newspapers online. Since 1690 (the first record of a newspaper published in the United States), news, human interest stories, obituaries, legal notices, advertisements, society columns, and other content have provided a diary of a community. 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.
