A major Atlanta proposal.
The Atlanta Botanical Gardens is embarking on a proposed expansion in the NW corner of Piedmont Park. The property is privately owned. ABG submitted four zoning applications in late 2023 that are currently under review by the affected NPUs. The property sits in NPU-E but is directly adjacent to NPU-F. Both NPUs are involved with review and discussion and that includes you.
Review the full expansion plan.
“The New Garden will be a place of wonder, reflection, and inspiration, where the beauty of nature and the power of creativity converge to create the sublime.”
