Located on the campus of Clemson University, the South Carolina Botanical Garden is a beautiful 295-acre piece of land that serves as a sanctuary for a diverse collection of plant life. Visitors are welcome to stroll along the garden's 3 miles of nature trails, but there are other attractions here as well, including a geology museum, a large collection of nature-based sculptures, and the Hanover House, a historic home built during the early 18th century. The grounds are open to visitors every day of the year between dawn and dusk, and there is no admission fee.
