This is worth the trip to view beautiful flowers and trees. They have the place organized into different species so more interesting to view them. The people there provide lots of gardening information that can help you if you like gardening. Even a garden area for children. Small entrance fee but it helps support them.
Nice to have this garden in our city, adds charm and ambience. Love the unexpected location. Helpful volunteers. Enjoyed the sculptures, esp floating near the waterfall. Rose garden beautiful. Did not care for the inclusion of the spiritual flags; seemed jarring. Will visit again to see more.
Tucked away oasis and gardens where you would least expect to find one. Very impressed by specimen peices. You must see this garden and old house. Perfect for small quaint weddings of family outing.
This is a not a very large but interesting garden and recommended to all outdoor lovers if you are around Kennesaw area ! There is an entry fee.
this is such a beautiful garden to visit, lots of great plants, fun classes, and very easy to find off of Hwy 41.
My spouse and I visited early one morning. It was wonderful. I loved seeing all the conifer specimens, the roses, and camelias. but probably the best thing is just learning what will grow in the shade in Northwest Georgia. Some of the plants here are incredibly large and old and others have been planted in the last few years. They label each plant with the year it was planted. At the end of our trip, my husband signed up to volunteer.
I have just recently been introduced to this beautiful hidden treasure. Just a short drive outside of Atlanta you can find this serene garden. The admission price was reasonable for the 13 acres of beautiful and unique plants. There are lots of benches to just sit and enjoy the sights around you. It was not crowded at all and was a great way to spend a Saturday with the family. There is a fun kiddie section where the little ones can dig in the dirt and make huge bubbles with the bubble wand bird baths. My favorite spot in the garden was the Bonsai collection. One of the trees is over 300 years old. If you're looking for a little relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of your buzy schedule, come and take a leisurely stroll through the gardens.
When the flowers are out it is a very beautiful place to walk on the many winding paths. It has a Picnic area and does offer classes.
Having relatives or visitors in? Try something different and see the Smith-Gilbert Gardens in Kennesaw. We only recently learned about these gardens through Groupon, and what a find! The Gardens are minutes from the highway. Pack a picnic lunch and plan on about two hours of easy walking on well-maintained trails. They have a designated picnic area with tables, a relaxing water feature complete with a waterfall, dozens of sculptures, a conifer area, and the best of all - a huge perfectly cultivated Bonsai Garden unlike I have ever seen. Plan to be impressed.
This is a lovely, surprisingly spacious garden in the midst of a modest subdivision. Give yourself plenty of time. It was not at all crowded when we went in the middle of the week on a summer afternoon, and we read every sign and enjoyed sitting next to the koi pond.
