The Atlanta Botanical Garden is the most delightful garden I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. I was fortunate enough to go during their “Imaginary Worlds” 2018 exhibit, where creatures real and fantastical were rendered in living plants on a giant scale. The scent, the colors, the textures juxtaposed…it was impossibly lush and thrumming with life. I spent hours bugstalking and marveling at the minute details of the plants, so much so that one of the employees in the Fuqua Orchid Center exclaimed she was surprised I was still in there. Lady, I’d set up a camp and spend the night if I didn’t think there was a possibility that I’d trip over a snapping turtle in the dark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100263,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433,183,513,102,223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-georgia","category-photo-post","category-south","category-travel","category-usa"],"yoast_head":"\nAtlanta
