Hamilton Gardens at Lake Chatuge in Georgia

The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers at Hamilton Gardens at Lake Chatuge 96 Pavilion Road (off Music Hall Road) Hiawassee, GA 30546 May 5, 2021

Quietly tucked away in the North Georgia mountains, Hamilton Gardens at Lake Chatuge is a 33 acre woodland botanical paradise with magnolias, azaleas, wild flowers, rhododendron, over 3,000 plants, art, and much more. Parking was free on this date, but there was a box for the entry fee and donations. The paths were easy walking. The parking lot was quite large. But to get there the two RV Gypsies had to drive through the Georgia Mountain Fair entryway (shown below). Phone 706.970.0011 for hours or further information.

Now and then a few houses could be seen in the far distance.

Below: Flowers -- Unfortunately, this was the day after torrential rain and winds came through the area, and many of the flowers were no longer in the best of shape. However, despite this, the two RV Gypsies enjoyed the flowers in the gardens.
