The Goizueta Gardens team loves to visit other botanical gardens but is always most excited to observe flora and fauna in their local habitats. Over the past year the team has visited some incredibly unique ecological communities in our region including a calcareous prairie, granite outcrop, restored ranchland, and rocky river shoal.

Camellias are a remarkable flowering plant–not only for their beauty and endless flower variations–but also because they draw us into the detailed and diverse world of camellia cultivators.

Goizueta Gardens staff collaborated on an exciting conservation effort this past spring to relocate wild and rare orchids to our gardens for preservation.
