Rose Garden

Fragrance, color and memories of days past enhance the Rose Garden. The favorite flower of many, roses included in this Rose Garden are pest and disease-resistant varieties particularly suited to the Atlanta area, with its heavy clay soil and high humidity. Heirloom varieties include favorites such as Souvenir de la Malmaison and Rêve d'Or. Don't miss the rose arbor with 21 varieties of climbing roses growing on chain swags framed against the Midtown skyline.

Sourwood Terrace & Canopy Walk

Plan an event in treetops on the spectacular 600 foot long Canopy Walk. Sourwood Terrace serves as the woodland landing for seated dinners or cocktail parties. Guests may stroll the Canopy Walk for wonderful views of the surrounding forest.

Trustees Garden

Accessible via the Flower Bridge, the Trustees Garden is a walled secret garden defined by four classical pavilions at the corners, with formal dwarf boxwood edging to the flower beds. A beautiful balustrade wends up to the entrance, providing a gorgeous vista over the Cascades Garden.

Alston Overlook

Alston Overlook delivers a breathtaking panorama. Across the colorful beds of the Levy Parterre, the Fuqua Conservatory is framed by the Midtown skyline. Further in the distance, the Downtown skyline hovers above the treetops of Piedmont Park.

Japanese Garden

Small but exquisite, the Japanese Garden is one of the oldest areas of the Garden, begun in Piedmont Park in the 1960s before the Atlanta Botanical Garden was chartered. Irises and azaleas bloom in spring, maples change color and drop their leaves in the fall, but most plants in the Japanese Garden are evergreen; color is used sparingly to highlight seasonal change since reverence of nature is the guiding philosophy in a Japanese garden.

Georgia Pacific Classroom

The Georgia-Pacific Classroom is filled with natural light. The space is flanked by the Garden Art Gallery and adjacent to the Fuqua Orchid Center. A nearby warming kitchen makes the room perfect for working lunches or cocktail parties. (925 sq. ft.)
