Atlanta Blooms! 

Address: 1345 Piedmont Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30309 

The Atlanta Botanical Garden's Atlanta Blooms! The event is celebrating its 50th year this spring, and they're going all-out to mark the occasion. This special golden jubilee will feature double the usual number of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and other flowering bulbs in a limited-time display inspired by the famous Keukenhof Gardens of the Netherlands. 

The garden is also growing its usual crop of flowers in: 

• The standard annual beds 
• The Anne Cox Chambers Flower Walk is a path through a flower field with spring blooms carefully arranged to create an ombre effect 
• The Edible Garden, which will be filled with edible tulips until the end of the season 

All together, there will be nearly 300,000 spring blooms to enjoy here over the next few weeks.  

The event runs through all of March and April and is free with general admission to the garden. You can get tickets for as little as $27.95 per adult or $24.95 per child under 12 on weekdays.

The Victorian Atlanta 

Address: 505 N. Angier Ave.NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 

The Victorian Atlanta was founded in 2017 by two passionate gardeners who dreamed of a space that was equal parts plant shop and art studio. Their workshop series is part of that vision, giving gardeners new ways to put their green thumbs to work. 

The store's upcoming Tropical Terrarium Building workshop is perfect for budding planters with limited outdoor space. Scheduled for Saturday, March 21st, from 3 to 4 p.m. at their Old Fourth Ward location, the session has two components: 

• Building your own glass terrarium 
• Learning how to feed and water the plants inside without disrupting the ecosystem within 

Tickets cost $75 per person and come with all the materials you'll need to make your terrarium (plants included!). As a bonus, you'll also get a 20-percent discount on all additional purchases made at the shop that day.
