We’re wanting to spread a little joy, Nooga. Which had us thinking, where is your Chattanooga happy place? Think of a place you go in town that warms the heart, allows you to feel calm, or somewhere that brings back fond memories.
We’ll start off.
Editor Kristen here. For me, the U-Pick Flower Garden at Signal Mountain Nursery is one of my local happy places. It’s a seasonal spot where you get to walk through the flower garden and pick whichever flower is speaking to you to take home. It’s a therapeutic experience where you’re surrounded by beautiful flowers and butterflies — it’s just as wholesome as it gets for me. Plus, the gardens just opened up for the season.
Editor Haley here. One of my go-to happy places would have to be the aisles of Dirty Jane’s Antiques. Whether you’re there with an idea in mind on what you want to find, or aimlessly walking around, it’s hard not to get lost in the eclectic secondhand belongings — bonus if it’s raining. There is just something so comforting about being surrounded by well-loved items.
Let us know your local happy place for a chance to be featured in an upcoming newsletter.
