Atlanta area garden & nursery recommendations

[Linus_Cello]

I'll be in Atlanta for a few days. Looking for garden and plant nursery related recommendations. (Orchids would be nice, but not necessary)

One place I'm thinking of visiting is Maple Ridge Nursery: http://japanesemaplesandconifers.com/directions.html

(Went to school in Atlanta, and have already been to ABG and Fernbank.
Gibbs and Callaway too far away)

Be sure to visit the Atlanta Botanic Gardens.

Are you looking for Japanese Maples in particular?

Be sure to visit the Atlanta Botanic Gardens.

Already been to ABG several times. Plus the toddler would probably pull up some precious plant that gets us kicked out.

No. But Maple Ridge Nursery does have some interesting cryptomerias. I've ordered from them before.

You might want to reconsider since they have a kovachii in bloom with 2 blooms! :wink: A first for the ABG.
