Let’s get messy! Roll up your sleeves and roll out the paint! Develop your motor skills as you roll a variety of different brushes, all to make a colorful (and messy!) work of art!
Messy Thursdays are part of our Building Blocks: Preschool Playtime – perfect for babies, tots, and pre-kindergarteners!
We also have a social story to help prepare families for their Museum experience.
Follow Alice down the rabbit hole as a new story of larger-than-life plants blooms in Atlanta’s Urban Oasis.
Alice’s Wonderland features 38 larger-than-life sculptures in seven installations inspired by Lewis Carroll’s timeless tales, plus Shaggy Dog and the now-iconic Earth Goddess, two pieces in the Garden’s permanent collection from the 2013-14 exhibitions Imaginary Worlds: Plants Larger Than Life and A New Kingdom of Plant Giants.
Let imagination be your guide as you enter the Garden through giant Storybooks. Sneak past the grinning Cheshire Cat looking on as you discover Alice spinning in a whirl of teacups and playing cards. Watch out for the Queen of Hearts and her Chess Set army as you greet the new Singing Flowers on your approach to the 27-foot-tall White Rabbit floating in the Skyline Garden.
Enchanted Trees by Poetic Kinetics marks the return of the artists behind the Garden’s 2021 exhibition of a signature rainbow-hued “Skynet” billowing above the Canopy Walk. The 10 sculptures will be scattered throughout the Garden, drawing onlookers with their dazzling acrylic leaves. Standing from 10 to 17 feet tall, the trees cast dappled light and reflective, shifting colors on everything around them.
Explore hundreds of thousands of tulips, daffodils, crocuses and hyacinths. Check out a variety of ways to grow bulbs, including container gardens and floating islands.
This Earth Month, families can enjoy fun-filled activities centered around our planet. We’ll learn about plants and gardening, explore the water cycle, test our knowledge about the Earth, and more!
