Great place to visit and spend your afternoon.

There was a lot more there than I expected! Many things were blooming, although it was Fall. I am looking forward to future trips when more is in season. I loved seeing all the butterflies. Some paths are paved and there are also natural paths throughout the wooded areas of the property. Information signs were everywhere to provide details of plants, trees, the property and about farm life. You can tour the Bland's house to see how they lived. A lot of care has been given to the property. I will certainly return.

Went here today for Plant Sale and walking the gardens. Not a big place but sooo many plant varieties for photos. Some good birding, too. Staff and volunteers at Plant Sale were GREAT!!

It's so beautiful and peaceful I was surprised because of the closeness of the highway. The plants are amazing if the weather is right you could certainly get lost in wandering around. So many beautiful plants such a relaxing environment. We encountered one worker and she was very polite and friendly. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to visit it again.

Finally made it to the GSU gardens.
Worth the stop the grounds are lovely.
Also enjoyed the historical buildings.
Will be back.

Beautiful Scenery with informative markers along the paths. The markers identified trees, blooming flowers and shrubbery growing throughout. There were benches and a wooden swing inviting rest stops and opportunity for a quick photo. The cottage in the garden had an informational platform with historical facts about the original residents of the garden. During our visit there was a plant sale and The Bee's Knees vendor that had a variety of honey to offer. This is indeed a Beautiful Place to visit.

I didn't really calculate in the season, but I had an overall good visit. I will definitely be back when the flowers are in bloom. Here are 2 pictures that I captured

I could spend all day here, everyday of the week if I could! One of the most beautiful gardens I've been to. Lots of spacious grounds and wonderful walk paths. Very well maintained and the plants where absolutely beautiful and healthy. Love the different learning tools and exhibits throughout the garden. Several places to cool off if it's a hot day. Pack a lunch cause it's definitely worth the visit ❤️

An incredible oasis of tranquility in the middle of the bustling town. The old Bland farm buildings are an awesome piece of history. The grounds are manicured in places and natural in others - well worth the small $5 suggested donation asked at the entrance. This is a must see for local folks, surely many of whom have never turned one block off of this section of Fair Road.

Best botanical garden in Georgia per aperture!! This old Bland Farm, where in the early 1980s James in his 70s introduced me to his Uncle Dan in his 90s and we picked pears, looked at arrowheads, talked shop and where i got married in the 00s, is expertly and excellently curated and is showcase for early education inspiring a love of nature which inspires a love of learning. As foreign languages are an imprint of ecological experiences, I've taught those as a window to the language of nature seen and observed and learned to be loved in gardens such as this one. The Bland family legacy continues through new gardeneers, bioneers, and ecologists. #Permaculture

One of the best places to go for a walk in statesboro, especially during spring time, it's just gorgeous. Colorsplosion ! Flowers and trees of all kinds. You can have ceremonies and celebrations there I think if you book it ahead of time. Got some historical sites as well, an old farm house with some cool older farm equipment that makes for fun photo ops. Nice open areas. I believe I read that you can even plant your own plant in one of their beds, but definitely get information first from them on that one.
