This garden is quite small, but it is very pretty. Don’t forget bug spray if you visit; there are TONS of mosquitoes.

At its peak in the fall, the LAEG is a gem of a pocket garden tucked away in a corner of Old Campus. Many interesting specimens, and a chill vibe amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life at the University of Georgia.

Many historical sites near Baldwin Hall. The garden is amazing, but there are also petroglyphs right in front of Baldwin Hall. Cute bridge to cross with nice views.

A quiet place to sit and meditate. Needs some pruning and TLC though.

When I came here, it was not like a botanical garden compared to that we have in my campus.
