Ray Sutton of Williamsburg Ky., makes notes Saturday as he visits the Smithgall Woodland Garden with the Magnolia Society International. The group was visiting Athens during its annual meeting this weekend.
If there was a college basketball tournament going Saturday, visitors to the Gainesville’s Smithgall Woodland Garden weren’t concerned with missing the games. The first group to tour the garden off of Cleveland Highway, set for a fall opening, were from the Magnolia Society International. The viewing was a stop in the three-day conference the society holds annually.
