Dunaway Gardens

Located only 30 minutes south of Atlanta, 6 miles north of Newnan, Georgia and minutes from the quaint historical town of Roscoe, the gardens are open seasonally for weddings, special events, and tours. Originally established in 1934 as a theatrical training ground for some of the country's most beloved stage productions, Dunaway is a one-of-a-kind rock and floral garden that offers unparalleled beauty throughout the year. A new incarnation of Hetty Jane Dunaway will come suddenly upon the curtain of cedars fanning out into the curve of seats in one of the dells, note the faerie rings as perfect plateaux for chorus and orchestra, envision a corps de ballet approaching the stage from a winding path. The Great Pool, which has a flowing waterfall, is the ideal place to unwind and let your worries float away. It will take you to another world, far away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life, as the soothing sounds of the water wash over you. It is our Sunken Gardens that is a hidden gem, boasting of twin water channels with moss covered paths that allow you to not only let your feet wander, but also your mind. You're sure to find a new favorite spot as you continue to explore the beautiful grounds. The Hanging Gardens, with its two carved stone staircases that wind around a dripping waterfall and collection pool, is a particular highlight. Explore the grounds by following Cedar Creek as it meanders around the perimeter and allowing yourself to become immersed in the natural beauty of your surroundings You are in for an unique treat that will awaken all of your senses, ground you, and reconnect you with what is most essential in life.
