WWW.BOTGARDEN.UGA.EDU
While Athens, Georgia, is primarily known as the home of the Georgia Bulldogs, this eclectic college town is also home to the 313-acre State Botanical Garden of Georgia. This is one of Athens’s most visited attractions as well as a beautiful venue for summer concerts. The Sunflower Concert Series includes four concerts held in the evenings from June through September on the stage of the terraced Flower Garden.
Attendees are encouraged to get cozy, bring a picnic dinner and a blanket, and enjoy a variety of local music. Since there is so much to see at this breathtaking setting, it’s a good idea to come early in order to explore all that the gardens have to offer. The concerts get started at 7:00 pm, which gives you plenty of time to admire the surroundings and work up an appetite for a relaxed, family-friendly evening at the garden.
