‘Garden Lights, Holiday Nights’

There is a strong tradition in US Botanical Gardens of attracting visitors in November and December with illuminated displays and light shows.

This one at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is one of the best that we have seen with a new light show set to music in the woods over the woodland canopy walkway.

In the more formal part of the garden, nets of lights illuminate the flower beds and trees..

On the main lawn, ‘Orchestral Orbs’ - these surreal looking lights change colour and pulse to the accompaniment of dramatic and seasonal music..

In the fruit and vegetable garden, themed light sculptures..

Inside the conservatory and orchid house, some different tableaux (and photo opportunities)..

It may only be mid-November but with the lights, music and   Holiday theme, we started to feel quite festive!
