In honor of the passing of our 39th president, I thought I'd share information about the gardens at the Jimmy Carter Center.
The Jimmy Carter Center Gardens, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a thirty-seven acre wooded park that contains a formal garden, wild flower meadow, cherry orchard, Japanese garden, a couple of lakes, and waterfalls. The rose garden contains about 400 plants with 80 different varieties.
Of course the gardens aren't the only thing to see here. The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum is here, which features an exact replica of the Oval Office and the Nobel Prize awarded to Jimmy Carter.
The gardens are open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 -4:45 and Sunday from 12:00 - 4:45. Admission is $8.00 for adults.
Tip of the Day:
Dryer sheets have insect-repellent properties. Place them in the corners of rooms, on rafters, along window sills, in potted plants, or anywhere you tend to see spider webs. You can also rub the sheet on bare skin to discourage mosquitos from biting you.
