Armstrong Campus Arboretum now has map and database
Did you know that one of our campuses is officially an arboretum? The Arboretum encompasses the entire 268-acre Armstrong Campus and displays a wide variety of shrubs and other woody plants. 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. Plant locations are mapped and incorporated into a GIS map of the campus with an accompanying database containing plant name, family and native range. The searchable map and plant inventory are included on the Arboretum’s web page at GeorgiaSouthern.edu/arboretum.
