Consisting of 30 acres, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is one of the must-see Atlanta travel attractions located in Midtown Atlanta adjacent to Piedmont Park. The mission of this garden incorporated in 1976 is to maintain and develop collections of plant for the purposes of education, display, research, conservation and enjoyment.

The Museum Shop in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens has a great selection of garden books, gardener's supplies, stationary and note cards, bulbs, seeds, jewelry, wedding gifts, wind chimes, bird feeders and outdoor garden statuary. The greenhouse showcases various live plants which include orchids, ferns, unusual succulents, beautiful houseplants and carnivorous plants.
