Atlanta Botanical Gardens for Date Night
by
Teresa D
We went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for date night last night. They had cocktails in the garden from 6-10pm. I believe this is every Thursday through September. To our pleasant surprise, they also had the Imaginary Worlds sculptures on display. Unfortunately, it got dark fairly quickly and my phone battery ran out so I didn't get as many cool pics as I would have liked but I wanted to share what I did get. The sculptures were amazing. I highly recommend you go if you get a chance. And if you go to Cocktails in the Garden, Go early because many of the gardens aren't lit at night.
Butterflies greeted us as we took our first steps into the garden.

This is a frog ... look closely
See the Atlanta Skyline behind the Aquatic Plant Pond. There was a bullfrog in there croaking away.
Fish sculpture. It spins

I think this area was called the Levy Parterre
These little things were cute. Couldn't find a sign that said what they were.
This is the ogre

Here you can see the cobras were made up of succulents and some other plants

He looks so bored
"Why so glum little guy? There is so much wonder around you! Just look!"

A unicorn! Can you believe it? I LOVE Unicorns!

Got a sneak peak at this as we walked across the canopy walk. Couldn't wait to get down there and see it close up.
