Athens — What if your Easter outing was both a dining experience and a destination? Or maybe you just don’t want to toil in the kitchen?

Celebrate spring with blooms and songbirds, walkways that are easy to navigate with strollers and wheelchairs, lawns that make you want to kick off your sandals and benches where you can relax.

Gather the family for a special Easter brunch at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, 2450 South Milledge Ave., Athens.

Donderos’ Kitchen will be serving a buffet brunch from 11:30 am to 2 p.m. Easter morning in the Visitor Center & Conservatory.
