Atlanta Botanical Gardens: Cocktails in the Garden

 

A few weeks ago a couple girlfriends and I made the trip to Atlanta Botanical Gardens Cocktails in the Garden series. It was hot and muggy but we still had a good time. Especially once the weather cooled {at least a little} and the drinks started kicking in. The gardens were so pretty, the roses were my favorite! And I love all the different ponds. So soothing.

I love all the different purples. So pretty and not too fussy.

Look how many lilies are on that plant!

I like the way they built up the walls for the rose garden and used different kinds of foliage to add texture, dimension, and color. Everything is a little different but goes together so nicely.

Vegetable garden. This inspires me to have my own veggie patch. Somehow I don’t think that’s happening anytime soon, lol.

Entering the {partially air conditioned} green house. We pretended to be stranded in the Amazonian forest traipsing through the muggy climate. But the hallway was a nice blast of cool reprieve!

So cool! Plants hanging from the ceiling of the building.
