Ravine Gardens: In Full Bloom



Ravine Gardens is filled to the brim with blooming azaleas each year between January and April, and those flowers are perhaps its most distinguishing feature, according to Giblin.

The few pictures do not do this park justice.  It is absolutely wonderful.  The stone work and other CCC era buildings are pretty rare these days.  It is georgeous in the spring, and they do an Azalea Festival that is worth attending.  Such a unique environment.
