The Atlanta Botanical Garden opened its doors in 1976 and “is an ever-evolving destination where the horticulturally-minded, nature-inspired, and fun-seeking families come together to feel human again.”
Now, the urban oasis has been named “The most beautiful garden you can visit” in Georgia by HGTV.

“Garden Lights, Holiday Nights” defeated the New Mexico BioPark Society’s River of Lights, NYC Winter Lantern Festival and Space Center Houston’s Galaxy Lights to win.
“Garden Lights” will return for its 15th season in December, and tickets are already on sale for the annual display.
