Atlanta Botanical Garden

Last weekend, I took a quick trip to Atlanta.  My little brother is a huge Georgia Tech football fan, so my family went up to watch the game.  Since it was a night game, we decided to check out the Atlanta Botanical Garden that morning.  I had never been before and always wanted to go.  I wanted to share some of the highlights.

We first went to the Fuqua Orchid Center.  It took my breath away.  I’ve always admired orchids, but I am now officially in love.  They are magnificent!

There were other beautiful flowers in bloom throughout the garden.

The Earth Goddess is a highlight of the garden.  She is made of metal and covered with in-season plants.  In the spring, I read that she is covered with pink flowers.

I am already planning a trip to come back in the spring with my girls.  If I lived close enough, I would visit during each season to see how the garden changes.  I absolutely loved it.  I highly recommend a trip if you’ve never been before.

The Georgia Tech game was also wonderful.  They played against Wake Forest.  It was a nail-biter, but GT came out on top!
