Elevated Southern Event Experiences
Located within Savannah’s iconic Downtown Historic District, Trustees’ Garden features three signature venues that are home to some of Savannah’s most influential and notable events. Dating back to the 1700’s, Trustees’ Garden is an integral part of Savannah’s rich past as well as its promising future.
The various historic venues have been meticulously restored with state of the art amenities while preserving as much of their industrial character as possible. Adaptable for many uses and available to rent for weddings, corporate events and much more.
Trustees' Garden
“ At Trustees' Garden we have created a very popular gathering place where people can mingle daily with artisans, philosophers, scientists, writers, researchers and others from different disciplines and walks of life. We want to encourage healthy lifestyles by promoting exercise, eating healthy foods and stimulating conversation with very limited car/truck traffic. We want Trustees’ Garden to be a safe and comfortable place for quiet contemplation and other activities. Trustees' Garden provides spaces for children to play, learn, and do fun things with their families. Our goal is to make sure that Trustees’ Garden is financially, socially and environmentally sustainable so it will last for generations. ”
