So, I had a site visit today to Dunaway Gardens, a beautiful hidden treasure of floral and rock gardens near Newnan. It was once the site of a theatre camp for producers, directors and performers in the 20s, 30s and 40s. Originally a cotton plantation, Hetty Jane Dunaway created the theatrical training center which had it's heyday with vaudeville. Somehow this beautiful place was allowed to fall into a deteriorated state and was covered up with kudzu and vines for almost 50 years. In 2000, the new owner began to uncover it's secrets and now it has been transformed into a beautiful wedding and event venue. There are several amphitheater sites, extensive stonework walls, patios, ponds, wetlands and waterfalls. And of course, lots of flowers. I had a nice time with the camera.
