Celebrating 50 Years
SCC’s School of Horticulture is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2021! Through
numerous grants and private gifts fostered by the SCC Foundation, SCC’s Giles Campus
has become a nationally-recognized arboretum that includes four greenhouses, a nursery
production area, several unique ornamental gardens, an outdoor lab complex, and SCC’s
Center for Sustainable Agriculture. These facilities provide hands-on learning experiences
that equip SCC students with the knowledge and skills that they need to thrive in
horticultural and agricultural careers after graduation. SCC’s annual Arboretum Adventures
highlights the beauty of the SCC Arboretum and the College’s contribution to the horticultural
industry across the Southeast while raising funds for the Jimmy Painter Horticulture
Scholarship.
