The South Carolina State Botanical Garden began in 1957 as a small camellia collection on a reclaimed landfill site. Today, the Garden is a 295-acre public garden offering a diversity of cultivated and natural landscapes and year-round public programming. The Garden is open free to the public from dawn to dusk every day of the year. The mission of the South Carolina Botanical Garden is to "serve as an interdisciplinary public garden whose focus is research and education in the areas of botanical and cultural conservation and the environment." The Botanical Garden is located on the campus of Clemson University. Over 2,200 varieties of ornamental plants are raised in the 270-acre consolidation of smaller gardens. Aazalea and camellia trails; wildflowers, fern and bog gardens; nature trails; a pioneer garden labeled in Braille; and the flower and turf display garden of bedding plants and turf grasses are some of what visitors can see.
