The Courthouse Arboretum
In 1895, Dr. Orville Blanton, son of Harriet Blanton Theobald, "the Mother of
Greenville," designed and planted an arboretum on the grounds of the Washington
County courthouse featuring native specimens. The Greenville Garden Club,
recognized as the state's first garden club, has served as curator since 1948. ~
