About Atlanta Botanical Garden

Next to Piedmont Park, this 30-acre garden layers tropical conservatories, a soaring Canopy Walk through the treetops, and living sculptures like the beloved Earth Goddess. The orchid collection is one of the country's best, and seasonal spectacles, especially the holiday Garden Lights, are worth planning a trip around. It's Atlanta at its most photogenic.
