Go Strawberry Picking
Honestly one of my favorite activities in the spring is to go Strawberry Picking at a local farm here in Georgia. You’d be surprised to know that Georgia has over 40+ strawberry fields open to the public!
My absolute favorite u-pick strawberry field is located at Southern Bell Farms in McDonough. Before driving out, I recommend calling the farm to see the conditions of the u-pick strawberries (770.288.2582).

Most of the mimic large landmarks here in Atlanta, like the Fox Theatre, stadium, and more! It’s a fun scavenger hunt to find all of these adorable little doors around the city!

Spring is a beautiful time to visit north Georgia Wineries as the vineyards come back to life with vibrant green leaves!
Chateau Elan is the most iconic and notable winery in Georgia. This luxury winery produces a variety of award-winning wines and offers tastings, tours, and wine education classes. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking and worth a staycation if you’re looking for a fun weekend away!
You can also book a Winery Tour that includes bus transportation to 3 of the best wineries in Georgia with 13 tastings!

Cheer on the Atlanta Braves!
April means that baseball is back in season! Here in Georgia, we are all about our Atlanta Braves! Arrive early and experience the vibrant Battery Atlanta which offers dozens of bars, restaurants, shops, and more!

Visit the Atlanta Zoo
Now that the weather is nice, enjoy a day outside at the Atlanta Zoo! The zoo is home to over 1,000 animals from around the world, including pandas, elephants, lions, and gorillas. It also features a children’s zoo, petting zoo, and a train ride. The zoo is committed to conservation efforts and participates in multiple breeding programs for endangered species.
Spring Cleaning
I love to take part in the annual “Spring Cleaning” ritual. It feels good to go through old items and donate to charity and de-clutter your home.
Spring Cleaning isn’t just about the physical items! I like to focus on cleaning out my home and cleaning out my mind. That might sound funny, but I love visiting a therapist in the spring to re-set my goals for the year. Restorative Counseling Services is my go-to counselor in Georgia!
They specialize in ADHD treatment in Atlanta which really helps me focus on what’s important. I didn’t realize ADHD was treatable until I started working with them on actions I can take to calm my mind and keep organized thoughts. It’s truly been a blessing to have Restorative Counseling Services on my side.
Go On A Mural Scavenger Hunt
Downtown Atlanta has so many fun and unique murals throughout the city. This is one of my favorite things to do in Georgia in the spring! Now that the weather is nice, go on a scavenger hunt around the city to find as many as you can! I have a full guide to all of my favorite murals around Atlanta that are perfect for the ‘gram!
