A 30-acre garden adjoining Piedmont Park in Midtown, anchored by a glass conservatory (the Fuqua Orchid Center) with one of the country's biggest collections of tropical and desert plants. The Canopy Walk — a 600-foot suspended walkway through the treetops — is the standout exterior feature.
The summer Cocktails in the Garden Thursday evenings, and the December Garden Lights holiday show, are the two big events that bring locals out in numbers. Allow at least two hours. The orchid collection is internationally significant.
