It should have been one of the most colorful times of the year for the Atlanta Botanical Garden, but COVID-19 meant that spring sprung in the grounds of the garden with no one to see it.
Now, after two months, the garden has announced that it will once again welcome visitors. But first, members will get a week to themselves, beginning on Monday, May 18, and continuing through Friday, May 22. Beginning Saturday, May 23, the garden will reopen to everyone. They’ll also be introducing extended hours, from 9 a.m.-9 p.m., and members will continue to have a day to themselves, with Mondays set aside for members only (and Mondays hours will be 8 a.m.-9 p.m. beginning May 25).
The reopening will also mark the debut of a new plant-sculpture exhibition, “Alice’s Wonderland Reimagined,” and online timed ticketing to ensure that everyone will have a safe, crowd-free visit.
