Last week I chaperoned my son’s kindergarden class to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I was especially excited to go because I hadn’t been to the Botanical Gardens in a while – but most importantly a very special exhibit from Montreal was there – Imaginary Worlds – Mosaiculture.
As you can see by my photos, this was a truly unique exhibit and incredulous to see! For the most part, these plant sculptures were huge – most probably in the range of 16′-25’tall – all larger-than-life!
This was my son’s favorite topiary “Fido” – an amazingly realistic 10ft shaggy dog! |
This fountain Goddess was the highlight of the exhibit. It’s hard to imagine the size and scale of this topiary from my photos – but, she was truly a sight! Even the kindergardeners were in awe!
Sadly, the exhibit ended on October 31st. I have no idea where it will travel to next. Atlanta was the first city on the US tour. If it comes to your city, you MUST go see it – it truly is an exceptional and fun exhibit!
The Atlanta Botanical Garden has so many other terrific things to see! It’s a great way to spend a gorgeous afternoon. Here are a few other photographs that I took along the way!

The Scarecrows in the Garden exhibit is still going on. There are wonderful pieces created by all different groups around Georgia.
Enjoy your day!
