Dates: April 25, 2025

Meets: F from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM

Registration Fee: $80.00

Located on the shoreline of Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee, Georgia
this 20+ acre woodland garden paradise is the largest collection of rhododendrons in the southeast. It is listed by the state of Georgia as a botanical garden and lives up to this name through the diversity of native wildflowers, plants, trees, and its ecosystem. Trilliums, shooting stars, wild ginger, trout lilies, and Solomon’s seal are just a few of the special plants found in the gardens. But what makes this garden really special is the more than 1,500 rhododendrons and native azaleas within its boundaries.
This will be a great opportunity to learn about macro and close-up flower photography in a beautiful and peaceful location. Equipment and techniques to improve your images will be discussed. Macro and Zoom lenses are best. Good walking shoes recommended. Tripod optional, but could be useful.
