The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is a thirty-acre delight in the heart of the city, adjacent to Piedmont Park. The gardens opened in 1976 and provide a popular and peaceful way to spend time.
The first part of the gardens was the Japanese Garden, which uses traditional architecture, evergreens, ponds, and Japanese maples.
Other gardens include the Rose Garden, a Children’s Garden with carnivorous plants and places to run, climb, and play, and a Southern Seasons Garden that consists of woodlands and southern blossoms such as camellias, hydrangeas, and trilliums.
In the Fuqua Conservatory is an indoor exhibition of plants from tropical rainforests and deserts from around the world, as well as animals and birds of the tropics such as turtles, macaws, and poison dart frogs. The Fuqua Orchid Center houses rare orchids from around the world.
