On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, I had the pleasure to participating in an event for my work by visiting the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. I had never gone to this Botanical Garden before, which is located in Athens, Georgia and is part of the University of Georgia.
For people who are familiar with that area, they likely know that the Botanical Garden is a community jewel. But, when you live on the side of town that is a bit closer to Atlanta, you don’t hear or read about these treasures quite so much.
I am so happy I got to go to the Botanical Garden and participate in activities related to my work event! It is always so lovely to get out of the house and talk with and meet people!
Due to the nature of my work, I don’t get a chance to do that nearly often enough. Therefore, it was very refreshing and re-energizing to take in all of the sights, sounds, scenery, and interactions afforded to me in this beautiful venue for the event.
It was also a beautiful day for the event. The weather was sunny and mildly hot at 82 degrees Fahrenheit, but bearable. Most of my time was spent talking and interacting with people, which I absolutely loved. Plus, I was indoors where it was more comfortable and was in a room with a wall of windows – it was great!
Although I did not get a chance to see or tour the entire grounds of the Botanical Garden, I took in as much as I could while I was there and before things got busy. I hope you enjoy some pictures that I’ve included here in my post.
If you haven’t visited the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens, I encourage you to make plans and go. It is well worth the trip!
