Atlanta Botanical Gardens: the Tulips

April 5, 2023 /

If you missed my last two post about my recent visit to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, you can see the troll exhibit here and read about the orchids in this post. I love how much color you can see at the botanical gardens in the spring and I enjoyed seeing the tulips in bloom. They were in different spots than in the past so it took a little exploring to see all of the areas where they were planted.

The origami Pegasus is now a permanent exhibit here and these two tones tulips made for a pretty scene.

Bright yellow and red just scream spring! I wish the tulip beds were larger but I did appreciate the variety.

These do remind me of our trip to Kentucky two years ago and the tulips at the state capitol in Frankfort. I love large expanses of tulips. Wouldn’t it be lovely to go to one of those tulip fields in Holland?

After looking at these pictures, I am thinking I might need to get myself a bouquet of tulips to brighten my kitchen! I sometimes buy sunflowers in the summer but otherwise, I don’t buy myself flowers very often.

I was just thinking I have been going to the botanical gardens since I moved to the Atlanta area 20 years ago and thinking how much they have added each year. There has been years of course when we did not visit.

It’s a great place to visit with friends, to take family pictures or just to enjoy nature. The children’s area has gotten bigger and better over the years with a playground, a garden area and several interactive areas. There is a little amphitheater for story time. Spring is definitely the most colorful time to visit but I also enjoy it on a milder summer day when you can visit the vegetable/fruit garden (all of the food is donated to food banks) and the children can play in the water area.

A bientôt!
