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!). Considered by many to be one of the best botanical gardens in South Carolina, once you set foot inside you are sure to agree too. We love the location and the fancy displays of artistic beauty found in natural arrangements. Enjoy the trip to this glorious garden.
