Several major plant collections have been established including a Fern Garden, a Ginger Garden, a White Garden, an International Garden and a Primitive Garden.
A project to create a comprehensive map and database of the Arboretum’s plant inventory is nearly complete.

The searchable map and plant inventory are included on the Arboretum’s web page at GeorgiaSouthern.edu/arboretum.
