Atlanta Botanical Garden

Atlanta Botanical Garden is an exquisite, refined and cultured garden. When their original Children’s Garden opened in 1999, it was one of the first of its kind in the country but, it quickly became dated. This new re-envisioned garden not only visually compliments the overall esthetics of ABG but it also dramatically expands opportunities to engage children directly with plants by adding more bedding space for edible plants, places for kids to hide amongst grasses and willows, and close encounters with carnivorous plants. The new garden abounds with opportunity for hands-on activity because the best learning for children is accomplished through play. An extremely popular splash area, rope and clatter bridges over a ravine, climbing rock walls, a snake run, a tree house complex with a birds nest and slide are some of the new active play areas. There is also quiet play — slate painting walls, fort building, gardening, a woodland glade, a bee house and countless Garden Staff led activities from pumpkin bowling to art classes.
