Where to visit in Georgia?
I'm heading over to Georgia in a short while, and was wondering what I could spend my weekend visiting? I know about the Atlanta Conservatory, but are there any great nurseries, gardens etc that you could recommend? I'm happy to travel as long as I can drive there, and get back in the weekend!

Re: Where to visit in Georgia?
While I can't suggest nurseries, gardens, etc..., I spent an afternoon in Savannah while driving through the state, the historic district is really beautiful! Watch "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and you'll want to go!

Re: Where to visit in Georgia?
Yeah, if you go to Savannah, make sure to visit the Bamboo Farm and Coastal Gardens. Lots of bananas there! In fact, there's sort of a mini-plantation area there. GATrops, a member here, could probably tell you more. Large hardy palm collection there also, sponsored by the Southeastern Palm Society.
Valdosta is a nice area, lots of hardy palms around the area, plus a theme park whose name escapes me right now. Athens is home to the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, just a short drive from Atlanta. |

Re: Where to visit in Georgia?
Georgia has it all. Beautiful mountains and great beaches. Theres even a town named Helen in the Mtns. Helen, Georgia.
I think the best known garden is called Callaway Gardens. I went here as a kid but don't remember any of it. Have a great trip! http://www.callawaygardens.com/ |

Re: Where to visit in Georgia?
The City of Asheville is about 4 hours away from the atlanta area. If you are up a real road trip check out the garden at the biltmore estate in southwestern north carolina.

Re: Where to visit in Georgia?
I always spend 1/2 day at REI if time permits.
Asheville has a great brew pub you have to try, I think it's called Green Guy or something. And I ran into the love of my life there--Andie Macdowell |
