North Georgia

I made another trip recently to northern Georgia. It is early fall but I do start to see some leaves changing. It is a nice time of year to enjoy all that part of Georgia has to offer.

I visit Gibbs Gardens, the large botanical garden north of Georgia. Luckily it is zinnia season. I see the large display of flowers they have for the season. I love their Japanese garden as well where you can see fall peaking through.

Does it look like Monet’s Water lilies?

I also do a wine tasting at Ott Vineyards.

We also do a short little hike to Amicalola Falls State Park. The hike is pretty easy until you get to the stairs of Amicalola Falls in order to view the falls at all the different heights. It is a bit of a workout.

Top of Amicalola, we drove to the very top

We also visit a mushroom farm. It is interesting to see how mushrooms are actually farmed. I spend way too much money at this farm store.

I also pick up some cut flowers. They are pretty but get beaten up on the long drive home.

Finally I visit an orchard store and had a nice dinner in the town of Blue Ridge. It is a nice ending to my visit. I always enjoy a getaway to North Georgia.
