"The mission of the Atlanta Botanical Garden as a non-profit is to develop and maintain plant collections for display, education, research, conservation, and enjoyment. Their nature conservation program focuses on habitat and wetland restoration of native plants and pollinators. As a visitor, you can explore woodlands, native flowers in bloom, an interactive children’s garden, and a distinguished orchid collection. The Atlanta Botanical Garden curates top-notch exhibitions, such as the famous “Chihuly in the Garden” that included 50 original glass sculptures by internationally renowned glass artist, Dale Chihuly, as well as their annual “Garden Lights, Holiday Nights,” one of Atlanta’s brightest (and twinkliest) holiday traditions. A great place to host an event or to wander and get lost in with friends and family." - Son&Sons
