Award-Winning Botanical Garden in Atlanta Featuring Tropical Conservatories and Lush Palm Displays

Since opening in 1976, the garden has developed a reputation for innovative plant displays, immersive garden design, and outstanding conservatory collections.

Elevated walkways and winding paths allow guests to explore the layered canopy and understory typical of tropical forests, offering an up-close look at plants that thrive in warm climates around the world. Outside the conservatory, beautifully designed garden spaces and seasonal exhibits create a constantly changing landscape of horticultural interest.
