Parks, Tallahassee
Fodor's Review:
Starting in December the grounds at this 1,200-acre estate are afire with azaleas, dogwood, Oriental magnolias, spring bulbs of tulips and irises, banana shrubs, honeysuckle, silverbell trees, pansies, and camellias. Allow half a day to wander past the reflecting pool into the tiny walled garden, and around the lakes and woodlands. The Maclay residence (open January through April only) is furnished as it was in the 1920s; picnic areas, gardens, and swimming and boating facilities are open to the public.
