Description
A Virtual Tour of the Public Gardens of the Medical University of South Carolina
By Noni Langford
The Medical University of South Carolina in downtown Charleston serves the state in many ways, but did you know MUSC has educational and ornamental gardens that are open to the public? Along with the gardens comes a garden staff. Their mission is to educate MUSC staff, students and the general public about the important role plants serve as tools for healing. They teach classes in the Urban Farm and provide tours of the 80 acre campus. There are over 25 flower beds throughout the campus. Just as urban life presents challenges to human health, the location of these gardens presents challenges to the health of trees, shrubs and flowers. Join Noni Langford for a virtual tour of MUSC's public gardens after which you'll want to visit the real thing.
Noni Langford is a 2011 Trident Tech Horticulture graduate and residential and landscape designer. She works at MUSC as Project Coordinator. Her primary areas of responsibility there are the Porcher Medicinal Garden, Urban Farm, Bee Structure, and Arboretum.
