Atlanta Botanical Gardens: My Walking Tour
I really enjoyed taking pictures on our last visit to the Atlanta Botanical gardens so today I am sharing some of our favorites from our own little walking tour. We have visited enough times that we do not feel the need to visit each nook and knowing we have a membership allows us to not feel any rush while we are there.
Architecture
This large building houses the rainforest sections, the desert section as well as the orchid house. There are also a couple more areas in here including an educational wing. It is nice to have an area that is protected against the elements if it is hot or if a sudden rain shower appears.
Here is another view from the side which is newer. This was the first time I walked down here and I love the outdoors cacti.
There are permanent pieces from the Chihuly exhbit and this is one I had not noticed before. I love it!
The Water Lilies or in French: Nenuphars!
I love water lilies (nenuphar in French) and these are some gorgeous ones. The boys love to search for camouflage fronts in this rectangular pond in front of the above building.
We spent some time out here searching for the frogs and waiting for the rest of the family. I was impressed that the dragonfly below let me take a picture of him!
When you visit a place you have been to before, do you choose to do your own walking tour and focus on key sections or do you try to visit it all? I enjoy focusing on certain spots so as not to feel pressed for time and overwhelmed. I hope you enjoyed this Atlanta Botanical Gardens walking tour and that you will come back on Friday to see me style my birthday dress on our visit.
A bientôt!

That is one thing I loved the most about getting family memberships– that each trip coul be unique and we could focus on just a few areas if we wanted without feeling the need to see everything. I love that side view of the building and of course the glass artwork is amazing. All of his work is so pretty!

When we visit a place for the first time, I try to cram as much in as possible since I don’t know if we’ll be back. If we have a membership, I’m like you. I pick a specific place and really home in on the things there. This place reminds me of the Franklin Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio. I love visiting there, and our Newfields membership gets us in for free.

I am the same way which can make some vacations tiring with wanting to get the most of what we visit.

We have a membership to our botanical gardens and that’s one reason we love it too. You can go for a short time and enjoy just a little bit without feeling guilty. Except we don’t go in the summer. Bummer. I guess that one thing they could add is an indoor area. That’s why we go to the art museum instead, haha

Yes, the botanical gardens in the summer would be very hot! You would have to walk around with an umbrella for shade and stay only a bit.
