Summertime in the Gardens

Start your summer off right with a visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! The summertime is a great opportunity to visit the garden, with its lovely views of the city and the “Concerts in the Garden” series, which starts June 25. You can purchase tickets in the Garden Gift Shop or online at http://bit.ly/bX8F0b starting May 31, unless you are a Garden member, for whom tickets are already available.

While visiting the gardens, check out the “Blown Organics: The Glass of Cohn-Stone Studios” glass exhibition (May through October) featured throughout the new Edible Garden. These hand-blown glass sculptures are oversized replicas of their fellow fruits. From apples to peaches, these gems are sure to sparkle in the sun and shine in the rain. In their Bay-Area studio, artists Michael Cohn and Molly Stone get inspiration from their onsite Mediterranean/California style garden.
