Friends for the East Cobb Park’s Volunteer Garden Club meets monthly to construct gardens, beautify trails, remove invasive plant species, and perform other related activities.
Garden Club meets the 2nd Saturday of every month from 9AM-10AM at the gazebo at the back of the top parking lot, overlooking the park.
Enjoy a leisurely walking tour as you venture back in time and explore the property that has been farmed since 1840. The 135 acres that make up the original Hyde Farm consist of numerous cultural resources. Natural features include the Chattahoochee River and forests that are found in both the lowlands adjacent to the river and the uplands near the home site. Man-made features include terraced agricultural fields, lowland pastures/old fields, the orchard, the home site, the meadows and the farm outbuilding sites. Enjoy the pond which is stocked with catfish and bass that was built on Mulberry Creek in the 1980s. And you may see geese, ducks, herons, turtles and even beavers.
The 45-minute tour starts at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month. Meet near the red gate at the end of the parking lot. Call 770-528-8840 if you have any questions.
