The North Georgia Mountains are still weeks away from spring, but a 220-acre garden will open to the public on March 1st in the foothills of Ball Ground. The Gibbs Garden has the largest Japanese Garden in the nation and one of the largest daffodil collections. In a Press Release on 01/26/12, Southern Living Magazine names Gibbs Gardens as one of the most stunning daffodil gardens ever. Since romance began in the Garden of Eden, gardens continue to be fertile ground for budding romance.
There may be fewer outdoor attractions in North Georgia in the dead of winter, but this 300-acre estate is the perfect place to walk hand-in-hand with a Valentine friend, new love or life-time mate. Wind the way through 16 garden venues across bridges over streams, past waterfalls and around 22 reflecting ponds.
The Gardens are open Thurs. through Sun. from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To schedule a bus tour or tour group, email them at info@GibbsGardens.com. Check out the reasonable admission prices. There are dozens of hotels, lodges and cabins near the Gardens, as well as other area attractions.
Beautiful water gardens will lend to the serenity of the visit. Take a photo in front of the manor as a keepsake in the family album. Release the stress of work and family by listening to the sounds of nature in the perfect setting.
Natural health care begins with nurturing the soul and feeding the spirit. Slowing down the pace of life lived at warp speed may inspire many to return to a more natural way of living. Anyone who is planning a late Valentine's weekend should consider the beauty of a garden in winter. Plan a wedding at Gibbs Gardens or any other outdoor event. Call 770-893-1880 for more information.
