This botanical garden is probably my favorite place in Georgia. There is always something new to see as far as plant life, and wildlife such as owls, deer, and small woodland creatures. The children's garden is wonderful and full of activities. There are trails that run through the woods around the gardens. There is ample parking accessible by stairs and/or an elevator, a huge greenhouse building, a gift shop and cafe which are located in the greenhouse, a porcelain museum, several public bathrooms, and numerous gardens. All of it is free! You can easily spend a whole day here. Pack a lunch and take your time! Go in each season if you can to see the different plant varieties. They also have events throughout the year which are ticketed.
