Gibbs Gardens

Pine Ridge Garden Club

Field Trip

19 April 2012

Eighteen Pine Ridge Garden Club Members and Friends visited this lovely privately owned Gardens near Ball Ground, Georgia on an overcast day.  This made it possible to acquire fairly decent pictures of the entire gardens during the whole day.  Pine Ridge Garden Club is located in Macon, Georgia and we planned a one day trip for this event.  Everyone knew that it would be a long day, but as returned to Macon at about 7:00 P.M. everyone was thrilled that they participated in this inspiring Garden Club Field Trip.  This Blog Author captured 160 images and has published 32 here.  This was accomplished during a 5 and one half hour visit taking time for a lovely lunch which was available at the Gardens.  There were plenty of seating areas and I enjoyed many of them as I refreshed myself and contemplated the next camera shot.  I enjoyed my Field Trip and look forward to many return visits.  Mr. Gibbs met everyone the Thursday we visited and he assured us that he planned the entire 300 acres so that there will always be flowers and shrubs and trees in bloom or other beauty to behold twelve months a year.

A relaxing, pleasant place to visit and it was a refreshing opportunity to enjoy natural therapy in a lovely outdoor setting.  The pleasant sounds and fragrances made the Tour of these Gardens a real joy!!!

Please enjoy the photographs!!!!
