The Research & Education Garden - Griffin Campus

Turf Plots

Eleven varieties of turfgrasses are planted in the Turf Garden. They include bermudagrasses, zoysias, St. Augustine, fescue and seashore paspalum which are used for golf courses, sports fields and homeowner landscapes from the North Georgia Mountains to the coast. For more information on selecting, installing and maintaining lawns in Georgia, see Lawns in Georgia. The Turf Garden was established in 1999 through the generous support of the Snapper Corporation.
