Book Description
From the colonial splendor of old Savannah to the latest advances in plant hybridization, Guide to the Gardens of Georgia offers a bouquet of gardens you can visit. This guide captures the width and breadth of the Peach State, showcasing region by region one glorious garden after another. From the Coast to the Plains, the Piedmont region, and the Highlands, Georgia gardens beckon to be explored. This guide is for those who just like to look at pretty flowers and take walks down secluded, shaded paths as well as for those looking for ideas for their own gardens.
You learn the history and unique offerings of each garden, what plants to see and the best time to see them. Spring, of course, is the time for Georgia's wondrous display of azaleas, but there is something to see all year long.
Travelers to Atlanta will welcome the many gardens and natural areas hidden in this large city. Old Savannah comes alive, enticing you to explore gardens from a more genteel era. Antebellum mansions and their carefully planted surroundings in the old Cotton Belt are permeated with the fragrance of wisteria and honeysuckle. This is an indispensable guide for those who want to explore gardens as rich and colorful as the history of this Southern state.
