Next Up: Great Gardens of Georgia

Posted by Colleen Vanderlinden Jun 27, 2007

The next gardens we will be looking at are located in balmy, beautiful Georgia. Specifically, we'll take a look at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, located in Athens, as well as the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Running with the Georgia theme, we'll explore plants that will thrive in hot, humid conditions (Useful information for many northern gardeners as well, by the way-- summers in my home state of Michigan are hot, hot, hot and humid!) and we'll discover garden blogs written by gardeners from the Peach State.

One of those bloggers is my pal, Barrie Collins, who is a landscape architect and creator of Garden Mob, which is an information-packed, edgy, completely gorgeous blog about growing roses and perennials. Stop by, but be sure to set aside plenty of time--you'll find yourself happily lost in Barrie's infectiously enthusiastic writing as well as his gorgeous photography. Besides having a killer garden blog, Barrie's been a huge help in my research for this series of articles. So, thanks Barrie!

If you've visited a great public garden in Georgia, I'd love to hear about it! Leave a comment in the discussion area.
