The saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” but in Savannah, flowers come a little early! Flower varieties cover the city from head to toe, and light breezes travel the fragrances through the air. Spring is the perfect time to check out the Forsyth Park Fragrant Garden, a delightful garden filled with blooms that will take your senses on an aromatic journey.

Spring kicks off the perfect time of the year to get a tan on Tybee Island, Savannah‘s beach.
