Callaway Gardens

In Pine Mountain, Georgia is the legacy left by Cason and Virginia Calloway. The 14,000 acre Calloway Gardens is one of the most extensive and successful gardens in Georgia. Calloway Gardens' acreage has lakes, woodlands and wildlife within artfully landscaped gardens that will delight even the most experienced gardener.

At the John a Shibley Horticultural Center, you will find a myriad of plants, shrubs, and trees making the center a phenomenal sight during the spring and summer. You could visit over and over and see something new every time you come. When you tour Mr. Cason's Vegetable Garden, the southern site of the PBS show The Victory Garden, you will see over 400 varieties of flowers, fruits, vegetable and herbs.

Calloway Garden is home to North America's largest free flight butterfly house-The Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center. The Butterfly Center has over 1,000 species of butterflies which you can see up close as they flutter by, or as they light on the many flowers or sugar water trays throughout the center. And, if you stand real still and quiet, they might even land on you!

Other attractions and activities include swimming, golfing on one of the top golf courses in the state, hiking, biking, and tennis. You can relax on the beach, or enjoy fine dining, and no matter what you choose, you are sure to have a wonderful time!
