This sanctuary for Georgia’s native plants and birds was transformed from a 25-foot-deep former rock quarry. A waterfall cuts through the high walls surrounding the garden, down to a stream and nearby pond below. The towering canopy shades plants once used for medicinal, spiritual, and practical purposes by the Creek/Muskogee people and early settlers.
