While I was in Georgia earlier this year, I spent a wonderful day exploring Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia. As botanical gardens go, Gibbs Gardens is a fairly new garden. Established by Jim Gibbs, an Atlanta Landscape Developer, the garden was developed starting the 1980s. It currently covers over 200 acres and includes three feature gardens – the Manor House Gardens, the Japanese Gardens and the Waterlily Gardens. Gibbs Gardens is known for the hillsides of daffodils that bloom each spring. The day I visited was just as the daffodils were finishing their bloom – I would love to get back some year and catch them in full bloom.
Here are some of my photos from my visit to Gibbs Gardens.
