Woodlands Garden — Attraction in Decatur

Huge discovery today, went to hear live music free in the Garden Pavilion at the Woodlands Garden in Decatur. This is Seven acres of donated woodlands 20+ years ago by Chet and Gene Morse. Located on the corner of Scott Boulevard and Clairemont Avenue, a true delight. Many Champion Trees and the largest Bigleaf Magnolia I’ve ever seen. If you have company in town and want a nice, pleasant, ADA friendly walk, I highly recommend this garden. Free parking and free admission. NOTE: this is a dog free park so leave your pup at home. A true secret gem in Decatur/Atlanta area. If you want a beautiful drive back to Marietta or 75/85, take Scott Blvd. west which turns into Ponce de Leon Avenue. This is a four laned road that shows you some of the most beautiful homes in Decatur/Atlanta. Volunteer opportunities on Wednesday...

The animals are pretty much used to humans at this point, so the squirrels and birds just go along doing thier own thing not paying you any mind.

There's even a bird watching station.

I didnt get to see everything in bloom yet, as its still early in the year and the weather has been bi-polar confusing all the plants and bugs, but Ill be back soon to take some pictures of all the plants and flowers they have!

Visit this spot if you're close, them go have lunch at little 5 points.

It'll be...

Decatur’s Woodlands Garden comprise a 3.2-hectare public park that is a key urban sanctuary for the residents of the city.

The largely wooded land contains more than 30 species of tree and a wide range of plants native to the region.

The brainchild of Chet and Gene Morse, the area where the park stands was donated to the city in the early 2000s to ensure its permanent protection from construction.

Their forethought in giving their gardens to the public ensure there is a place for plants from the Georgia Piedmont biosphere at the very heart...
