Atlanta Botanical Garden winter events.
Despite winter’s frost, the Atlanta Botanical Garden continues to blossom with events. On Jan. 24, the 2026 Spring Gardening Symposium & Plant Sale offers a full day of horticultural expertise and shopping opportunities. The symposium features five expert presentations covering topics from horticultural selection and native plants to garden design secrets and the evolution of edible gardening with speakers such as Todd Lasseigne, Mark Weathington, Dottie Myers, Moe Hemmings and Jay Sifford. Throughout the day, attendees can browse an extensive plant sale featuring vendors The Kai Garden, Beech Hollow Farms and Garland’s Garden. Registration is $115 and $105 for members, with an optional boxed lunch for $20 and prepaid parking for $10.
The 2026 Flower Show, Heirlooms, will be Feb. 20-22. This biennial indoor judged competition celebrates artistry across five divisions: floral design, horticulture, photography, botanical arts and a spectacular non-judged display of ikebana, the Japanese art of floral design. The show also features educational exhibits highlighting the garden’s orchid displays and conservation efforts. The event is free with admission or $10 for members. The public is welcome to experience exquisite floral creations while supporting the garden’s International Plant Exploration Program.
