Botanical Garden Orchid Daze

As the garden evolves, it’s never the same place twice. This is a destination you can come to explore every time you visit.

From now until April 14, explore the work of Atlanta artist Lillian Blades, whose reflective collages form the perfect foil for the garden’s extraordinary collection of colorful orchids.

Renowned plant collections, beautiful displays and spectacular exhibitions make the Atlanta Botanical Garden the loveliest place in the city to visit. An urban oasis in the heart of Midtown, the Garden includes 30 acres of outdoor gardens, an award-winning Children’s Garden, the serene Storza Woods highlighted by a unique Canopy Walk, and the innovative Edible Garden and Outdoor Kitchen.

Indoors, the Fuqua Conservatory is an organic biosphere and home to important collections of tropical and desert plants, and the Fuqua Orchid Center houses the foremost collection of species orchids in the United States. Efforts by staff of the Southeastern Center for Conservation include the preservation of wetlands and carnivorous plant bogs across the Southeast as well as the protection of endangered species of amphibians from around the world. An abundant amount of activities and programs are available in the Garden throughout the year, including popular annual happenings such as Concerts in the Garden, Cocktails in the Garden, Orchid Daze and Garden Lights.

The Garden plans to expand to the north by nearly 8 acres along Piedmont Avenue, placing it contiguous with the Atlanta Beltline. The addition would make the Garden the city’s first cultural institution directly accessible from the popular 22-mile loop.

Admission tickets are $26.95 on weekdays and $29.95 on weekends. Ages 3-12 are $23.95 ($26.95 on weekends) For more information visit https://atlantabg.org/
