Educational Partnerships
Spartanburg Water continues to support the outreach efforts of other groups and organizations who are attempting to be good stewards of the environment and to create an environmental awareness that could lead to positive changes in the future. We partner with several agencies in the hope that environmental consciousness will become a way of life.
Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve
The
mission of Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve is to be a place for the public to come for inspiration, enjoyment and education through the study of nature. Features of this 10-acre public garden
include perennial and annual flower displays, xeriscaping™ exhibits, natural areas and woodland gardens, native plants, ponds and lots of wildlife. Spartanburg Water helped sponsor the perennial trial garden as well as 
efforts to recycle
water for irrigation uses throughout the garden. Click here to watch a brief video describing our partnership with Hatcher Garden.
Spartanburg Science Center
The
vision of the Spartanburg Science Center is to become the centerpiece for science education and enrichment for the students and adults of Spartanburg County by providing educational programs, lectures,
and hands-on exhibits. Most of the Science Center programs are outreach activities taking place at area schools in Spartanburg County and the surrounding region. On-site programs 
include week-long
science camps during the summer months, pre-school and elementary science clubs during the school year, and evening lecture series. Educational programs and the Water Exhibit in the new Chapman
Cultural Center are partially funded by Spartanburg Water. Click here to watch a brief video describing our partnership with the Spartanburg Science Center.
