Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve...


Hatcher Garden & Woodland Preserve
is beautiful garden located in Spartanburg, SC.

DH used to work in this area and always wanted to go but some how he never made it there.

We (as a family) took a trip to the the garden on the first day of spring, it was warm and lovely.

(Plus, we as a treat we went for lunch at our favorite Thai restaurant -Thai Taste.)

The garden is a wonderful place to go, enjoy the silence and relax from it all.

Families were walking around looking watching the wildlife, talking their spring pictures and simply enjoying themselves.

The bulbs were in blooming and so were some of the trees.

We had never seen the Star Magnolia before; it is one stunning flower and has such a beautiful fragrance.


There was a nice path, plenty of benches and even a few areas to sit with a picnic lunch.


I would really like to go back and check it out later in the spring once the trees have their leaves and see what it looks like.


A wonderful way to have spent the first day of spring. :D
