About the Garden
Occupying about 30 acres, the Atlanta Botanical Garden is just 3 miles from downtown. It features an array of attractions, including world-class hydrangea, pitcher plant, and maple collections; an orchid center; a dwarf conifer garden; fields of summer-blooming bulbs; a formal herb garden; and more. Be sure to check out the new edible garden, 45-foot-fall suspension bridge through the forest canopy, and cascade waterfall garden; they open the first weekend in May.
