Chihuly in the Garden - Atlanta

Last year we visited the 'Chihuly in the Garden' exhibit at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami.  (See 23 April 2015).

When we heard that a new exhibition was coming to Atlanta Botanical Garden and that we would be here for the opening weekend, we were very pleased!

We opted for the twilight ticket so that we could visit the garden in daylight and enjoy the flowers too and would then see the glass sculptures illuminated as night fell.

The botanical gardens are divided into a formal garden with parterre, flower beds, edible garden and rose garden and then a wooded area with a canopy boardwalk. 

The sculptures were carefully placed in each area, as well as several large tableaux and some smaller sculptures in the orchid and tropical rainforest conservatories.

In addition there were sculptures in the Japanese Garden..

Because yesterday was such a dull and damp day, the sculptures really came into their own when illuminated..

A wonderful exhibition and a great garden (of which more tomorrow!).
