… but on a 90+ degree summer day, not so much. The good news is we got in free, thanks to our reciprocal Stan Hywet membership. And, the gardens were really big and lovely and featured a new canopy walk through the trees, an exhibit of glass sculptures of oversized fruits and vegetables scattered throughout the gardens, and fountains where the kids could cool off in the Children’s Garden (fortunately I knew about this and came prepared with their swimsuits). What a beautiful respite for Atlanta residents. Note: Walking from the Arts Center MARTA station provided a look at some gorgeous homes as well as a taste of Piedmont Park. However, this stroll would have been more enjoyable had we not been melting in the Hotlanta sun.
