If you're wondering where to experience the best spring blooms in Atlanta, you're in luck! From world-famous botanical gardens to vibrant festivals, here are the must-visit places to see nature’s beauty at its peak.

 

 

Atlanta Botanical Garden

 

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a stunning sight year-round, but it truly comes alive in the spring. During Orchid Daze, you can admire the largest collection of orchids in the country, showcasing rare and exotic varieties.

In addition, the garden hosts Atlanta Blooms!, a spectacular event featuring hundreds of thousands of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, and other spring perennials. The vibrant floral displays unfold over several weekends in March and April, making it the perfect destination to enjoy the season’s colors.

 

 

Atlanta Dogwood Festival

 

If you love flowers and festivals, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival is a must-see. This annual event, held from April 13-15 at Piedmont Park, celebrates the blooming of the native dogwood tree with art, live entertainment, food, and family-friendly activities.

Ranked as one of the top festivals in the country, the Dogwood Festival offers a unique way to welcome spring while enjoying Atlanta’s beautiful scenery.
