Attention Fellow Gardeners!!
With Economic times as they are, State funding has been cut for our State Garden, The SC Botanical Garden at Clemson.
Attached is a substantial list of plants that could be used in the garden…particularly the new Cherokee Garden, the Butterfly Garden and the GCSC Smart Garden.
If you are dividing your plants this Fall and have plants to share, please contact Todd Steadman at:
Phone number: 864-656-3405

Happy Gardening and many thanks for your help,
Marsha Alexander
