Savannah's Hidden Downtown Paradise
Trustees Gardens, Established in 1734 by General James Oglethorpe after the founding of the Georgia Trust. The garden comprised about ten acres to the east of the area then settled. Dedicated to botany and agriculture, it reflected the scientific and commercial aspirations of the Trustees and their backers in England. The garden was to be modeled after the physick and botanical gardens at Oxford and Chelsea in England. The Society of Apothecaries had set up a model garden for medical plants. Trustees garden was also intended as an agricultural experiment station for semitropical products such as silk, wine, orange trees, capers, cotton and olives. The objective of this garden area was to use local labor to provide staples and raw materials for goods to be further processed and consumed in England.
