botanical gardens – RVing With a Purpose

Saturday March 22, 2025

Wednesday 3/12/25, was another beautiful, sunny, blue-sky spring day and we visited the Atlanta Botanical Garden with Jim and Susan. Gorgeous!! The orchid exhibit was beyond any we have seen. We also couldn’t stop taking pictures of the tulips and daffodils. We visited the Garden in December 2023 when everything was decorated for Christmas. That was a great show, too. Jim says that they have something for each season that makes it worth a visit anytime you are in the Atlanta area. Not a lot of words today. We will let the pictures speak for us.

… but the main reason we visited the Garden this time was for the Orchiddaze. There were so many orchids, it was difficult picking which of our many pictures to post. And we didn’t even try to record all their names.

The orchid display also included these pitcher plants …

… and this live harlequin poison frog from Colombia.

This is what the goddess looked like when we were here in December 2023.

There were a few Chihuly glass sculptures on display, like this one on a fountain.

While we hate the Atlanta traffic, Atlanta does have so much to offer a visitor. We just wouldn’t want to drive in that traffic every day. Thursday morning, we drove back to South Carolina to catch up on Randy and Debra. We are very appreciative for the prayers for Randy. He is doing well, and we are enjoying our time together. We will be here until the end of the month when we have an appointment in Red Bay for a little work on Fred.
