World Famous Gardens
Another great thing to do in Atlanta is to visit its many gardens. Especially high on this list is the Swan House Gardens grounds. The gardens take their inspiration from two centuries ago and have been called breathtaking by many. They were built in the early 1900’s and create a feeling of peace for many who visit. Another great place to venture if you like gardens is the Mary Howard Gilbert Quarry Garden.
