The Piedmont Physic Garden is an independent, unaffiliated horticultural institution in Union, South Carolina.  Our botanical garden is home to our expanding collection of ornamental plants as well as to plants with historical  medicinal uses, many hailing from the Piedmont and Southern Appalachian corridor. Although we do not have regular business hours, we schedule tours for individuals and groups during the spring and summer seasons.

The Piedmont Physic Garden  is passionate about exhibiting and promoting  ornamental horticulture as well as educating our community on the positive impact that plants have on our daily lives. We offer workshops, internships and garden tours for individuals and groups such as schools, garden clubs, church groups, summer camps,  civic associations etc. during the spring and summer seasons.  Contact us today to arrange your visit!
