Itinerary:

What a deal we have for you! Rich Hull, an AOC member, has managed to obtain 15 tickets into Dunaway Gardens, a beautiful botanical garden/wedding venue in Newnan, Georgia. Tickets for the gardens are $10, but we are getting them free of charge!

We will carpool to Dunaway Gardens, arriving there at our reservation time of 11 am. We'll stroll the grounds for a couple of hours, taking pictures and enjoying the scenic views; then, we'll head to lunch at the Blue Eyed Daisy bakery in the Serenbe area, about 15 minutes from the gardens.

Folks who prefer to skip lunch and return home after the garden tour may do so. just be sure everyone in your carpool agrees to leaving early.

This will not be a strenuous hike, by any means. We can separate and go our separate ways through the grounds and meet up at 1 o'clock to head for lunch. After lunch, we'll head back to the carpool, arriving no later than 3:30-4 pm.
