FacebookHamilton Gardens are a botanical paradise fairly bursting with dogwood, native azaleas, wild flowers, trillium, and more than 400 varieties of rhododendron – 3,000 plants in all. Welcome to the Hamilton Gardens, a truly enchanted spot, boasting the largest collection of rhododendrons in the state of Georgia.
Stoll tranquil pine bark trails that wind through lush foliage. Drink in the stunning views of Lake Chatuge and the majestic rise of Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest peak.
The gardens are open year-round, but peak viewing season usually occurs early April through late May. The Hamilton Gardens Greenhouse and Garden Shop opens to the public the first day of the Rhododendron Festival, April 19. Plant enthusiasts will find a selection of rhododendrons, azaleas and other plants available for purchase at the gardens retail shop. All of the proceeds help with garden maintenance, which is performed by volunteers.
