In the heart of Midtown Atlanta lies a vast and beautiful plant collection popularly known by the name Atlanta Botanical Garden. Covering an area of thirty two acres, the garden boasts a number of outstanding displays such as the Orchid Center, Children Garden, a tropical and desert conservatory and special outdoor themed lawns. The garden was built with the aim of developing and maintaining plant collections for the purpose of research, education, conservation, display as well as enjoyment activities. The Atlanta Botanical Garden tickets are now available at affordable prices.

In the year 1976 the Garden was added as a part of the private 501 non-profit corporation called Atlanta Botanical Garden Inc. Four years later in 1980, a fifty-year negotiation deal was finalized with the city which secured the area for many extensive future development projects. Shortly afterwards, the Garden built its first permanent structure in the shape of 'Garden House'. The following years saw many extensions of the construction venture. The Furqua Conservatory was founded in 1989 while the Children Garden was set up in 1999. 2002 saw another addition amongst the features of the Garden. This is the Fuqua Orchid Center that displays a huge collection of species orchids. A special exhibition is arranged in the center during the winters. It is named the Orchid Daze.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts special summer exhibitions, a trend that started within the premises in 2003. Over the years the Garden had put together many exhibitions of kinetic arts, glass arts and sculptures. On the other hand during winters, the Garden holds an amazing light show called 'Garden Light, Holiday Nights'. This extraordinary display and play of over one million lights is a treat to the eyes.

The large scale Green Expansion Plan is one of the most extensive and challenging projects taken up by the Botanical Garden. The implementation of the plan brought about major advancements in the existing area. Its size was doubled and style was modernized. New facilities and features were added including the visitor center and the canopy walk.

The highlight of the visitor center is its plant covered green roof. Apart from the striking visuals it also provides for natural cooling and sound insulation. The center leads the visitors towards the canopy walk which is another one of the Garden's popular features. The six hundred foot long skywalk enables the spectators to view the city's urban forests from above a height of forty feet through the tops of trees. The walkway carries the visitors through the garden into the oak and poplar branches providing some spectacular views of nature all along. The huge and high structure also allows an aerial view of the woodland area below.

The Garden also comprises of several small themed lawns. The entrance to the area consists of formal gardens such as the Rose and Japanese gardens. These are popular venues for musical evenings and similar occasions.
