City of Cave Spring

Cave Spring, GA

Rob Ware

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Cave Spring is a small historic town in North Georgia. We have a beautiful cave and spring, that supplies the water to the city. We have a Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Garden in the downtown square. We have a very rural community with lots of farmers and gardeners, and understand the importance of our monarch butterflies and other pollinators. It is important to us that we support those pollinators.
