Welcome to the

Growing Together with Greenville!

     

You are welcome to visit the historic 1838 Kilgore-Lewis House, headquarters of the Greenville Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.  This historic Greenville home is open to the public Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10am to 2pm. House docents provide visitors a glimpse into the history of early Greenville furnishings and home life. Tours are free of charge. Donations are used to support the upkeep of the house and gardens! 

                         The 5.4 acre Accredited Arboretum is temporarily closed due to damage caused by Helene.  Many trees were lost in Greenville and the surrounding area and clean up is in progress. This is a hilly and uneven terrain with limited access for mobility challenged visitors.

We are located at 560 N. Academy Street, Greenville, 29601.         864.232.3020
