Gibbs Gardens

Generations of monarch butterflies fly from their summer breeding grounds in Canada to the mountains of central Mexico every fall, and they pass through Georgia on their way.

Gibbs Gardens in Cherokee County provides a rest stop where the butterflies can grab some food for the road.

Eric Johnson, a horticulturalist, says this stop is vital for the butterflies' survival.

Yeah, so the monarchs, they have to refuel every single day.

So that's very important.

Every day they have to find a nectar source.

Gibbs Gardens is the life's work of landscape designer Jim Gibbs, who planted the meadow on his property to help honeybees.

The meadow was later adapted to help monarch butterflies.

But it's fun to see how people are gardening down there in the deep south.

Now, Speaking of Deep South, I know that one of our most viral videos that you've edited is one of our videos where we filmed fall color at Gibbs Gardens.

Now Gibbs Gardens has their own maple festival based around their fall color.

And Mr. Gibbs is a good friend and customer of ours.

And he allowed us to come in and film on one of the days that they were closed, which allowed us to really be able to feature the Gibbs Gardens and really do it justice.

Tell us a little bit about that, Corbin.

Guys, Gibbs Garden, if you are anywhere within maybe three hour, four hour drive, I think that has to be one of the coolest gardens ever.
