National Garden Week Jun 7, 2026

National Garden Week

Since opening its doors in 1976, the Atlanta Botanical Garden has proven that beauty can be organized. Beds are planned, labels are placed, and every plant has a job. "To have a garden is not as easy as it seems; it is just as difficult as governing a kingdom." Nobel Prize-winning German author Hermann Hesse had a point.
