Rock Garden at the Townes Science Center

Top_front

The landscape (rock and botanic garden) around Charles H. Townes Science Center has been designed to reflect the geologic and botanical variations observed from the mountains to the ocean in South Carolina and Southern Appalachian in general.  The rock garden contains numerous large specimens collected from mines in the Southern Appalachian region.  A new website has been launched to help people see the landscape and learn about the rocks.

  1. The rock garden webpage is a wonderful use of hi-res photos and good place based information. Don’t take this resource for ‘granite’.
