3 Best Day Trips from Atlanta

"This lush park has something for just about every kind of nature lover or plant enthusiast. The 313-acre park has five miles of nature trails and habitats constructed to encourage the proliferation of native pollinators. More than 230,000 guests visit each year to explore the heritage garden, horticulture greenhouses, children’s garden and native garden, filled with familiar Southern blooms like dogwoods, azaleas, and magnolias. Runners and walkers are welcome to stroll or hustle through the gardens, too." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin
