Blue Ridge & Cumming Although there are not formal gardens on these Campuses, Blue Ridge has a student organization that will be planting flowers along the entrance of the walking trail and Cumming created an enhanced seating area with lots of landscaping shown to the right. Dahlonega The Hometown Harvest Garden is located at the Historic Vickery House. The program was developed in 2017 as a university collaboration with local partners to encourage young people from kindergarten to college to eat more fresh produce. More information can be found here. Gainesville The Memorial and Remembrance Gardens are located outside the Student Center. The bench shown on the right allows a nice place to study and reflect. Dedicated to our retired faculty, staff, and students, the rose garden and trees at UNG offer a peaceful space to honor their memory. More information can be found here. Oconee The UNG-Oconee Pollinator Garden, located in the back part of campus alongside the walking trail, has been around since 2018. It is part of the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail, a certified Monarch Garden and Wildlife Habitat. The south end of the garden is planted almost exclusively with native plants from Georgia.

Each olds across the UNG, so does the beauty of community gardens. Each UNG campus hosts its own area, offering students and employees a chance to connect with nature. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study, a hands-on learning opportunity, or a way to give back to the community, they provide an enriching environment for all.
