Welcome to the Piney Woods Garden of the Hammond Research Station! Most of the plants in this garden enjoy some shade at certain times in the day, but there are some beds that get full sun. This collection mainly houses long-term displays of superior woody ornamental plant material for the Gulf South, both native and exotic. Some new plant trials are also conducted here, where the shrubs or ornamental trees are evaluated for at least three years. Most of the plants you see today are survivors of the two 2016 historic floods.
