Spring is nature’s celebration of life. The promise of new beginnings fulfilled in sprouts and blossoms. Oscar Wilde said, “a flower blossoms for its own joy.” And we say Atlanta comes to celebrate the blossoms and blessings of spring at the Garden! 

Garden Party is Atlanta’s perennial spring event that embraces the joy of life, where the beauty of nature meets the loveliest people dressed in their most stunning spring display! The harmony of voices and instruments will draw us out of our wintering and we will be delighted by the delectable flavors of food and fashion. Let’s celebrate the joy of living! 

Schedule: Saturday, March 23, 2024, 5 – 9 p.m.
Cost: $65 non-members ($60 members)
