Atlanta Botanical Garden
A highlight of the Atlanta Botanical Garden is the Fuqua
Conservatory, a giant greenhouse enclosing different
climate-controlled eco-systems that was financed by an Atlanta
businessman in memory of his wife. A walk through the conservatory
takes visitors from a desert into a steamy tropical jungle.
Outdoors the gardens are criss-crossed with dedicated nature walks,
bypassing many quiet spots designed for peaceful contemplation, as
well as tasteful garden sculptures.
