Atlanta Botanical Garden

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is marked by a six-hundred-foot-long elevated walkway that snakes through the treetops of the local hardwood forest. Located in Midtown next to Piedmont Park, this thirty-acre site functions as an urban sanctuary for over thirty thousand plants. While it now serves as a major cultural destination, its origins are rooted in a nineteen-seventy-three petition from local citizens who envisioned a dedicated space for horticulture and public education.
