The Gardens of Barrington Hall - Roswell, Georgia

Tucked away behind the big house on the corner of Roswell Road and Lower Roswell is possibly the only historic gardens in the Atlanta area. Efforts are progressing nicely towards the restoration and conservation of plants and original plant beds.

Find some time to stop in (it's free!) and smell the roses...among the sweetest this nose has experienced in ages. Beautiful iris are in bloom now,  with peonies and other perennials just around the corner from showing their fancy fare.

Scuppernong Grapevine Arbor

The history of the gardens are being discovered among the photos and archives. Completed in 1842, this Greek revival style antebellum home is on the Historic Register. Barrington Hall is listed as one of 50 most beautiful homes in the area by Atlanta Magazine.

Spending lots of time in the garden,
