Can you believe it took me a whole 15 years of living in the Atlanta area to visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden? I finally went over Memorial Day weekend with Coco, and we had a pretty good time exploring the grounds. I think we chose the perfect time to go - a little after opening time, which is 9:00am. I wanted to get there early for 2 reasons: 1) I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I detest the summer heat, and it's cooler outside in the mornings; 2) the Atlanta Jazz festival was happening the same weekend, and I wanted to get there before crowds and traffic. The jazz festival takes place in Piedmont Park (another place I haven't visited - I know!!!!), which is right next to the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
